June 12, 2022 at 03:30 White power activists arrested near pride parade in the USA 31 members of a white power group were arrested on Saturday in Coeur d’Alene in the American state of Idaho. The men are accused of having planned riots in connection with a pride parade. The men were wearing Finnish hats and clothes with marks from Patriot Front. Police found signs that the group was planning riots in several places in the city center during the Pride parade. Shields and a smoke grenade were found in a large van. Police were alerted to the car by a witness who called and said it looked like a small army was squeezing into the car in the parking lot of a motel. TV pictures showed the men kneeling with their hands tied behind their backs with strips. “Take back America” was on the back of one of them. They were taken one by one to a police car after the police removed their masks, writes NTB. – It may seem that these people had not come here to participate in peaceful activities, said Sheriff Bob Norris. The police had increased preparedness around the pride parade. The Patriot Front is characterized by the Southern Poverty Law Center as a white, nationalist hate group that emerged after the right-wing radical demonstration in Charlottesville in 2017, in which a female counter-protester was killed.
