We've discussed them in the past, but didn't have a separate thread. After Coeur D'Alene, I think they deserve one, sad to say. I took the liberty of turning V's post into a new thread.

Now that I have all these horrible people in one place, where's my licorice whips? :think:

Leader of Patriot Front crying about mistreatment after their arrest: “They didn’t even give us shoes! We were barefoot but still in uniform in cells .. It took them 12 hours before even beginning the booking process .. Camera, digital devices, money was seized with no recourse.”

That is very sad, treating them like criminals just because they were going to violently assault a group of unarmed and peaceful people. :violin: :crying:

They were still in "uniforms"? Take that stuff off and make footwear out of it. You know, the prepper expierience, after losing a war. :twisted:

The millions worth of electronic equipement, the boys will get back their toys after the trial, until then its called evidence. I hope the boys don't keep incriminating files like child porn. Cash will eventually be returned, though no interest paid.

I've never been arrested, but it is my understanding that all personal items, especially those of any value, are taken from prisoners, largely to prevent them from being lost, damaged or stolen while the person is in custody.

It is further my understanding that a complete inventory or personal effects that are confiscated is made and a copy given to the prisoner.

This protects both the prisoner's property and the guards from accusations that the prisoner had expensive items that were "stolen" by the police or guards.

So, while it is true that there is no recourse, the items, as has been pointed out, are not taken permanently. They will get them back, when they are released. No recourse is necessary.

If they are seized as evidence they may/may not get them back after adjudication. If they are inventoried during booking they will get them back when released. As a general rule, anything that doesn't fit in your pockets is usually logged as evidence.

Ugh. I saw these clowns were here in a video posted elsewhere. If I had known I would have driven downtown just for the joy of heckling them. Nothing but KKKlansmen in different clothings.

Missing people, buried bones at center of Oklahoma mystery
A high-stakes criminal investigation is a window into the often unseen threat of white-supremacist prison gangs

Behind the 10-foot metal walls of a compound with links to the Universal Aryan Brotherhood, a white-supremacist prison gang, officers found what they believe to be a body dumping ground where multiple people ended up dismembered and burned, according to four Oklahoma officials with knowledge of the investigation. They spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the extraordinary security precautions around the case.



At least they're not poor immigrants trying to escape to a better life. That would be really bad.

Veterans fight fascism with special report on Patriot Front showing prosecutors how to go after them


There frequently is a kind of fatalistic acceptance among local authorities faced with the ascendance of openly neofascist groups like Patriot Front and the Proud Boys—entities who are openly waging a kind of low-level insurgency against American democracy, while wrapping themselves in pseudo-patriotic bunting, proclaiming their love for their country and their hate for their countrymen all at once. All too often, local officials like police chiefs, sheriffs, and prosecutors forced to deal with them shrug off their ability to do anything about it, citing the extremists’ free-speech rights.

It turns out that this doesn’t sit right with a number of the very people who have proven their dedication to defending the nation: combat veterans. An organization of such veterans is now demanding that the nation’s prosecutors buckle down and get tough in their dealings with Patriot Front—and have even prepared a 239-page report detailing both its membership as well as the myriad criminal charges that could be filed against them.

Meet Task Force Butler, the brainchild of Kristofer Goldsmith, a veteran of the Iraq War and a longtime advocate for veterans’ rights. The group is named after 1920s-era Marine Gen. Smedley Butler, and cites his credo: “My interest is, my one hobby is, maintaining a democracy. If you get these 500,000 soldiers advocating anything smelling of Fascism, I am going to get 500,000 more and lick the hell out of you.” The group’s mission, according to its website, is “to engage veterans in the hobby of maintaining a democracy.”

Toward that end, they recently released a lengthy report, called “Project Blacklist,” detailing the history of criminal activities, along with the identities of Patriot Front members, and compiled with a team of 10 volunteers. Goldsmith and his organization sent it to a number of local and state law enforcement officials around the country, part of what it calls an effort to "hold Patriot Front legally accountable for their politically and racially-motivated harassment of vulnerable minority communities, their terrorizing of local residents in cities and towns throughout the United States, their acts of violence, and their use of American cities as backdrops to showcase for the media and the nation the ethno-nationalist agenda."

Skipped court dates suggest Patriot Front members aren’t taking Idaho rioting charges seriously

From nearly the day that 31 neofascist Patriot Front marchers were arrested at the scene of the annual Pride in the Park event in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, in June, there have been concerns about whether the consequences for their planned riot would be commensurate with the crime—primarily because the men were all charged with misdemeanors under state laws. A number of observers, including the veterans group Task Force Butler, took pains to point out that by crossing state lines, the men could easily be charged under federal anti-rioting laws—even though to date, the U.S. Attorney’s office in Idaho has not shown any public interest in the matter.

Those concerns have deepened in recent weeks. Even though a number of the marchers—including Patriot Front founder Thomas Rousseau—have had court appearances via Zoom, the Southern Poverty Law Center’s Jeff Tischauser reports that two of the men have not bothered to respond to their summons or make an appearance. The scenario suggests that, unsurprisingly, these extremists may not be taking the charges seriously.

The most recent scofflaw is 28-year-old Jared Michael Boyce of Utah, who became the subject of a bench warrant Monday after failing to appear for his court date last month. Another one of the arrested marchers, Derek J. Smith, 25, of Sioux Falls, South Dakota—also has a warrant out for his arrest after failing to show up in court for his first hearing in September.

The two were part of a large contingent of mostly masked and uniformed Patriot Front members who flew to Idaho from multiple locales around the nation—ranging from Alabama to Texas to Illinois to Oregon and Washington—with plans in hand to create a riot at the annual Pride event, which had been targeted by far-right extremists wielding “groomer” rhetoric.

Local law-enforcement authorities, however, were alerted to their presence when they loaded the phalanx of marchers into a U-Haul van. The van was pulled over near the park’s entrance, and the men were arrested in full public view while forced to wait on a grassy berm.

‘More extreme, more violent’: experts’ warning over khaki-clad Patriot Front
Their button-up shirts and chinos have prompted mockery but experts say the far-right group is becoming increasingly violent

Adam Gabbatt in New York
Fri 16 Jun 2023 11.00 BST

For years, there has been an element of the ridiculous to Patriot Front and their rallies, which can look like a sort of cosplay version of a white nationalist movement.

At a Patriot Front demonstration in Washington in May, more than a hundred Patriot Front members marched along the National Mall wearing matching outfits of beige or brown chinos and blue button-up shirts.

The ensemble was topped off with the sort of affected accessorizing that parents subject children to at weddings: each man was required to wear sand-colored suspenders, with matching hats and sewn-on arm patches.

In their hands, the Patriot Front members carried shields that were a derivative version of Captain America’s defense system, and they had tight white fabric wrapped around their faces. The goal of their activity – Patriot Front aims to create a white ethno-state, according to the Southern Poverty Law Center – is serious, but they found themselves ripe for ridicule.

“You wear Walmart khakis!” one bystander heckled. “You are sloppy! You are not even matching! You all have different types of pants on! Cargo pants are out! Reclaim your virginity!”

In the years following Patriot Front’s 2017 inception, however, they have slowly grown in influence and threat, experts say. In 2023, those who monitor hate groups say Patriot Front is increasingly moving towards public displays and violence.

“If you asked me about Patriot Front in 2017 or 2018, I’d say they’re looking for attention. They’re putting up some stickers, and doing some banner drops here and there, and it’s all about just getting in the news. But now it’s gone well beyond that,” said Stephen Piggott, a researcher at Western States Center who focuses on white nationalist, paramilitary and anti-democracy groups.

“I think the group is morphing from a solely propaganda-based outfit to a much more violent one, based on what we’ve seen over the past couple of years. They’re trending to much more violence, more in-person direct actions, versus putting up stickers under the cover of night.”

Patriot Front formed in 2017, having splintered from the white nationalist group Vanguard America in the wake of the deadly Unite the Right Rally in Charlottesville, Virginia. Led by Thomas Rousseau, Patriot Front initially focused on clandestine propaganda efforts: dropping racist literature in neighborhoods and posting stickers in public places.

According to the Southern Poverty Law Center, Patriot Front was responsible for the vast majority of “hateful propaganda” in the US in 2019, 2020 and 2021. In the past couple of years, the group has begun to venture more into the daylight, and held more rallies and demonstrations.

Anonymous should dox each and every member since they're too skeered to show their faces.

IIRC, this is the group that was arrested coming out of a U-Haul, and someone commented a lot of the mugshots looked like fetal alcohol syndrome. I couldn't tell.

Looks like Patriot Front got into a poot fight. I like how the patriots use the flag to attack their enemies, very 1/6ish. Benny Johnson is a tool, screw what he says.
