Police detain 31 people with ties to hate group,
found inside U-haul in downtown Coeur d’Alene.
According to TMZ, Idaho cops successfully foiled
what could’ve been a repeat of Charlottesville by
pulling over a U-Haul truck filled with 31 members
of a whte suprmacist group near a Pride event.
The group is called Patriot Front — you probably
first heard of them during the deadly
Charlottesville protests in 2017– and on Saturday,
nearly 3 dozen of their members were packed into
the back of the truck.
Police believe the men – many wearing white
supremacy insignias, face coverings and shirts
that said “reclaim America”
— were planning to
riot and go head-to-head with people participating
in the “Pride in the Park” event.
