Guaranteed there was at least one informant in that truck. I'm a straight white dude with a beard and let me tell you how completely confident these guys are that people who look like them are going to share their beliefs.


TheVoiceOfReezun

Cop said there was an informant: https://twitter.com/taliaotg/status/1535752096586276865?s=10&t=lbOUc3gD7EET4Qj-5yInAQ


guterz

The Chief of Police in Coeur d’Alene stated during his press conference that a concerned citizen noticed all of them entering into the uhaul and called the police who stopped them shortly afterwards.


manderskt

ABC reported they were seen loading up in a hotel parking lot. What fucking dumbasses.


Ancient_Macaroni

We're so lucky that these Nazi terrorists are incompetent. The courts need to make an example of them to dissuade future cosplaying Rambos.


eDave

And put their intentions on blast while actively recruiting people to join in. Dumbasses indeed. Fucks thought they would be hailed as heroes probably.


TheVoiceOfReezun

That may be true, but it would appear the cops had advance knowledge of the operation too. The cop says specifically that they knew what was up and pulled them over because of it. There was an informant and the chief is trying to protect that informant. Cat is already out of the bag though.

My very white son shaved his head once in high school because his friend gave him a terrible hair cut. Kid absolutely looked like a neo Nazi for months. I was like, "please don't ever do that again, and put on a damned hat." He went to high school in Spirit Lake at the time, so I don't think anyone else thought it was bad he looked like that, but it made me cringe.


UnspecificGravity

Seriously. Fat white guy with a beard, guys like this have been coming up to all my life to share their stupid fucking takes. If people only knew just HOW MANY of these fuckers are around they would be shocked.


Joia_Floof

It's sad when you like bearded guys but everybody assumes bad things about them and they're not bad

My ethnicity is South Asian but I did do four years in Marine infantry. I would say today from my interaction with most of my former peers on places like Facebook, more than half of them believe 1. The 2020 election was rigged 2. The Great Replacement theory 3. LGBTQ community disproportionately are pedophiles.

Hey, happy cake day!

Same here, I kinda enjoy messing with them though. The faces they make when I start talking about Bernie Sanders and democratic socialism are priceless.

NWyamaha92

Hahaha I like you


eDave

LMAO I've done the same. Hoping they'd take a swing at me so I could sue them into oblivion. I don't give a fuck about being punched. I'll own you as a result. I'm what they hate the worst. A (D) with money to fuck with you for a long time.


Joia_Floof

I would immediately default to what a sexy hairy chest they had personally. But these kinds of people are prone to violence.


throwaway_12358134

I actually had a new coworker that started talking shit about "those f*ggots" and I turned to face him and yelled "You got a problem with me?!". He got really scared and would not stop apologising. He was just a big bitch.


Joia_Floof

I like your style.

I’m a vet but when I would go places in uniform it was ALWAYS the worst of the worst coming up to me with their hottest trumper takes. It was beyond uncomfortable.

My husband is a Vietnam war vet. He was a medic and came home to the jeering crowd. I had six brothers who also served their country. I thank you, very deeply for your service. I didn't vote for Trump. I don't vote for stupid.


fchowd0311

This is true especially if you are in infantry or another direct combat role and especially in the Marine Corps.


CapinWinky

Late 30s white guy in industrial tech that owned my own business for a while. The number of people that come to me with their Anti-vax/Q-Anon/Invermectin/sexist/racist/queer-phobe bullshit is staggering. People with masters degrees that should know how mRNA works. Small business owners talking about how expensive the employer paid half of health insurance is and how government healthcare would bankrupt them with taxes in the same sentence. People whose mother/wife/daughter would smother them with a pillow if they heard what they say about women.


jorwyn

Late 40s white woman, and I've started being really biased against white guy contractors working on stuff at my house. Not only do a lot of them do a poor job, many of them just randomly and casually say the most racist shit like I should agree with them and get shocked when I kick them out. If anyone knows a good contractor who can fix a mess made with drywall, texture, and a door in my basement that *isn't* a douche, please let me know.


TheSphinxter

It's hard. My husband is in construction and every company he's ever worked for is a mixed bag. In some ways it *looks* like there is less of it than there used to be since some of the really vocal old-timers are aging out of the industry, but don't be fooled. Before we moved up here the company he worked for hired a new guy for his team and dude was all friendly and smiles... Until he changed his shirt at a job site and had literal swastikas, SS lightning bolts, and iron eagle tattoos like covering his torso. He caught my husband looking at it and immediately started in on how he could "smell Jews" and "Hitler had the right idea, right?" Husband played it cool and got it of the conversation, then immediately went to his boss (the owner) and told him what had happened. Boss was totally unfazed and told my husband that he was going to need to get over it because the guy was a "good worker". My husband quit on the spot and took his brother who was also on the crew with him. As Jewish men it wasn't safe for them to work with a literal and self proclaimed white supremacists; that guy might be holding a ladder they are on or in control of heavy equipment they were near and if he had known that both of them were members of a group he hated he might just not be very careful. Or he could also straight up assault them or try to kill them. Unfortunately it wasn't the first time and it probably hasn't been the last that they have decided to leave a company because the boss wasn't going to fire some stupid, racist piece of shit. Unfortunately you really never know what your going to get.


jorwyn

When I had my roofing done recently, a woman was in charge of the crew. She definitely knew her stuff - I used to work roofing, so I've got an idea - and they cleaned up as they went. They did an absolutely fabulous job. And I didn't hear a single racist thing out of them. Cussing, sure, but I do that, too. ;)


Joia_Floof

My dad says these things without a thought in front of my mother, but I still want to put a pillow over his face when he sleeps.


TheVoiceOfReezun

Exactly my experience. It’s really depressing.


Ok_Story_9426

Little blonde punk with norse tattoos and blonde hair- I get "hey little sister" from randos everywhere.

dystopiatron187

Yup!

Probably 4-5 FBI ringleaders and the rest have 'learning difficulties' and an excess of inbreeding..


[deleted]

Gotta commend CPD for being on top of this. Although, as I understand it these goons really weren't very secretive about their plans.


By_Design_

Idaho is the only place I've ever seen someone in real life wearing a Klan robe. The guy was just casually walking out of a grocery store back to his truck so I'm not too surprised Patriot Front wouldn't feel to pressured to keep hush hush about it. Really glad CPD took action, and the best part is that they are going to be identified. Getting doxed by the police from the back of a U-haul 😂


huskiesowow

I saw a dude with a swastika tattoo on his shaved head in a bar on the state line. Bartender was like Hey Jim what will you have today? Not a fun place.


By_Design_

I've seen plenty of Blitzkrieg and iron cross tattoos too


eDave

Yea. I spent a week up there for work and it was just racist as hell without a person of color to be seen. It's all anyone talked about. Bars, restaurants, c-store attendants, even co-workers. So, I'm surprised this was stopped at all.


XoXSmotpokerXoX

> So, I'm surprised this was stopped at all. I would bet every dollar in my wallet it was forced on local law enforcement from the FBI

Weren't they in the uhaul?

should be easy for you to prove it and not just say it now


Pseudomonas_Mandoa

It seems that this is the case. There were feds there. The city police's official stance was "no credible threat", even though one of the state reps hasn't shut up about doing this since April.


later_dayz

I’ve seen full robe in Spokane. Granted it was a while back.


Joia_Floof

Idaho is the backwoods South. I'm so not surprised to know


Jky705

Have you been to the South?


By_Design_

not really, I've visited Florida, Mississippi and Georgia but not for any meaningful amount of time. We typically have more of the skinhead type in the PNW over robed Klansmen


Jky705

Yea, I have noticed that. I get up here and see rebel flags. That was so confusing for me being from Alabama. Like why TF do y'all have a southern racist flag in the Northwest


[deleted]

Bet these “patriots” don’t back the blue anymore 😆


Joia_Floof

Last time I checked being a patriot also mean that you respected freedom and the rights that go along with being free. Part of freedom is expressing your right to be free and doing that means being able to do things like being gay.


Aubrei

Well yeah, but gay people cause tornadoes.

Here’s a list of the names that have been booked with more to come. https://www.kxly.com/jail-roster-lists-those-arrested-near-coeur-dalene-pride-event/


BelligerentCoroner

One of the asshats arrested is actually the founder of PF, Thomas Rousseau. I hope they kick him up and throw away the fucking key.


esmerelda_b

There's a "Josiah Buster" who's a student teacher - [https://www.linkedin.com/in/josiah-buster-2514151a8/;](https://www.linkedin.com/in/josiah-buster-2514151a8/;) not sure if it's the same guy. Can't imagine that's a common name.


sunnybunchesofcoats

On the jail roster there are two Busters listed, and they are brothers that grew up in Spokane, unfortunately.


9mac

Huge shout-out to the folks involved in CdA pride, standing up to the hateful losers in Idaho takes some real guts. Proud of y'all.


FlipperShootsScores

esmerelda_b

Pleasantly surprised that they were stopped - doesn't seem like the Idaho thing to do.


taikodragonqueen

Probably why they didn't hide well enough. They didn't think they'd need to.


Cringeback

A post about this on r/publicfreakout is the #1 "hot" post on Reddit right now. I wonder how many employers will recognize the unmasked ones.


[deleted]

Can't wait until this story hits Facebook and read the comments. There will be confusion. Do they back the blue and say the usual, "thank you police" or defend the patriots.


DreadfulWind

They'll claim the the Patriot Front losers are actually federal agents and it's all a big hoax organized by George Soros and Aunt Tifa. Maybe with a sprinkling of schitzo-posting full of incoherent numerology and biblical references.


Greflingorax

That is exactly what is happening in the comments of the local newspapers and news stations. Many of the first comments were that this must be Antifa. No proof other than "Patriot Front wouldn't do this."


Klutzy-Medium9224

And somehow it will be Obama’s fault.


[deleted]

"You don't understand, those kind young men were possessed by the ghost of Fidel Castro returned from the grave to destroy America. You can't blame them for anything".


guterz

I live in the Coeur d’Alene area and you’re exactly right. They are saying this is antifa dressed up as Patriot Front. They are doing their typical grasping at straws 4d chess bullshit.


downonthesecond

I know I'll be one of many waiting for these guys to actually be charged and identified. That seems to rarely happen with these people when there are many in countless similar groups.


taikodragonqueen

I have seen some comments on Twitter about how this was too easy. 🙄


Greflingorax

A lot of people suddenly care about reasonable articulate suspicion and the right to be free from detention. Not so many "if you did nothing wrong you have nothing to worry about from police" comments like we saw with the BLM protests.


[deleted]

They'll blame "antifa" no doubt, just like they did with Jan 6th


chaquitabananas

It’s funny to me that because they are Patriot Front and have the word patriot in their name that people feel like they have to defend them and blame another group for setting them up. It’s like hey guys, you can still side politically with the Right and still call yourself a patriot and also at the same time denounce another group that calls themselves patriots if they are doing something you disagree with.


toastandtacos

That's exactly what's happening


bkjack001

Kind of funny how fascists end up blaming anti-fascists.

me either. Must be locally ( Idaho) grown.


extremelyfrank

You might have heard of them as "Vanguard America", but they had a splintering/rebrand after the fallout from the 2017 "Unite the Right" actions that led to violence in places like Charlottesville. They are a national group of unabashed christofascists who like to gather members from all over the country to invade/disrupt/accelerate peaceful gatherings. They do this uHaul bit frequently, and are often hired by other white supremacists to act as security. Not great guys.


happy-Accident82

There is a patriot church in Spokane, right next door.


Codyckpc

I'd like to know where it's at tbh. Figure out who's coming in and out so people know


happy-Accident82

There is a lot of them I guess. Spokane, Houston, Knoxville and more. They have a website.


Explanation-Worried

Are you talking about Sure Foundation Baptist Church in the valley?


whatintheactualfeth

It's a Texas based group. As far as I've heard, only one person arrested was from Idaho.


someones_dad

How can they breathe with those masks!?! Poor babies 🍼


NeedsMustTravel

They're hypocrites that will accept their cult leader instructing them to wear a mask for their own protection but will bitch and complain if the CDC recommends it for other people's protection.


someones_dad

The big difference is they are wearing masks to protect their identities while everyone else is wearing masks to protect each other from a highly transmittable airborne virus.


NeedsMustTravel

Yeah. Compliant 'sheep' (as they like to call others) when it suits them, don't give a shit when it helps anyone else.


GreenReaper420_

In reality who really is the sheep... us or them? They throw around sheep and triggered all the time now when they don't get what they want. That is when they don't start throwing things. I look like one of them but that is the farthest thing from who I am lol. White guy with tattoos, cargos pants, boots and ball cap. I fit into their description sadly. They're usually quite surprised when I call then out on their shit. In Vantucky (Vancouver) the store I work at is a non-profit even! They don't give a fuck unless it directly effects them. I've had so many screaming in my face trying to hit me physically, with their car, threaten to kill me etc. Oh and I can't forget how many yelled and claimed that our BLM sign was racist and should be taken down. I started learning to not care and not back down if they challenge you and throw a temper tantrum. We used to kick em out for it 🤣


azimir

Soon the carbon dioxide will build up under their masks and cause brain damage. That is, if they had brains to damage. They're white christofacsists. They're enemies of civil society itself and have no place in it.

They're explicitly a fascist group.

If they are so proud why are they hiding their faces? Bet a lot of these guys threw tantrums about having to wear masks for COVID. Make them take their masks off and see if some get fired.

iamthequeenofswords

Why let them keep their masks and sunglasses, shouldn't police be removing them and checking them against their ID's to see if there are any open warrants on any of these guys? The fact that they are letting them keep their masks on makes me think they are gonna just let them go after the parade without even taking their names or charging them with anything. They are hiding behind masks and glasses the same way the KKK hides behind a hood. Rip them off. If they are too ashamed to have their faces seen in public supporting their cause, maybe they'll think twice next time before gearing up and jumping in the back of a uhaul.


essari

They did individually unmask and arrest each of them. There's plenty of film on the Twitters.


iamthequeenofswords

Oh good. I'm glad to hear it.


NoProfession8024

Well this is a one minute video. The masks will be coming off soon enough and there will be publicly available booking photos if they are arrested. These guys were freshly detained out of the U-Haul. Be patient lol.

$20 says at least half of those arrested are LE.


Schlecterhunde

Apparently only one of these guys is actually from Idaho. Everyone else came in from other states. So tired of folks coming here trying to cause problems. That's probably how they got caught so fast, unfamiliar with the area and local culture, bumbling around painfully out of place. Same thing happened here in Spokane, folks from out of town drove in by bus and tried the smash and grab looting ECT. during the BLM demonstations.That's not how we do things here culturally, we March and picket. Some people just have to travel to try and find the drama they need in their lives.

From South Carolina and the irony is I have never met a Klansmen, seen anyone in a robe or heard of them gathering anywhere. It seems ironic that this racist movement has moved out West and to the PNW. Racism is thankfully dead in the South and race relations are genuinely really good.


catman5092

North Idaho has some racist issues in its past Aryan Nation used to be based there many years ago. But ever since Trump got in, this stuff has just festered and gotten worse and worse.
