31 Allegedly Disgruntled White Terrorists Arrested & Charged With Conspiracy To Riot At Idaho Pride Event

June 15, 2022

Over the weekend, 31 members of the white nationalist group Patriot Front came from at least 11 different states to gather in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, allegedly, to disrupt a Pride event in the city.

To put that another way, a group of disgruntled white men in tactical gear stuffed themselves in a U-Haul truck and were stopped by police on their way to a peaceful event and arrested on misdemeanor charges of conspiracy to riot.

“It is clear to us based on the gear that the individuals had with them, the stuff they had in their possession, the U-Haul with them along with paperwork that was seized from them, that they came to riot downtown,” Coeur d’Alene Police Chief Lee White said during a news conference, CNN reported. White also said the suspects had “shields, shin guards and other riot gear with them,” along with documents “similar to an operations plan that a police or military group would put together for an event.”

On Sunday, the identities and mugshots of all 31 men were released. Since then, they have all bonded out of jail, according to the Kootenai County Sheriff’s Office.

Now is a good time to mention that the Anti-Defamation League describes the Patriot Front as “a white supremacist group whose members maintain that their ancestors conquered America and bequeathed it to them, and no one else.” (Yes, those are a lot of words just to say, “Make America white again.”)

Reuters reported that the arrests came after a resident called 911 to report the large group of men in the U-Haul a short distance away from the “Pride in the Park” event that was taking place in Coeur d’Alene.
