FBI Agents all have the same physical appearance? Is the conservative brain-trust confusing the FBI with the agents in The Matrix? Are these conservative geniuses now convinced that the whole “Patriot Front” including their leader are actually FBI and/or Antifa? Their speculations don’t make a lick of sense. The stupidity in evidence here is quite deep. ---

Loved watching the short video of the door on the moving van open to reveal it packed full of Nazis! Looks like the uniform has changed a bit to tacticool khakis and hats, blue t-shirt, and white mask. Seems like another racist group loved the white masks as well. ---

Whenever the cries of false flag and Antifa infiltrators arise, I imagine the perpetrators, such as these 31 guys, defending themselves to their fellow travelers in the same way as Ol’ Greenteeth from Uneasy Rider; loudly exclaiming, “I ain’t even got a garage; you can call home and ask my wife!” ---

If it stays at the misdemeanor charge that was made so far, apparently not in a way that hinders their future rights. The current firearms background check covers conviction for felonies, domestic violence misdemeanors, military justice offenses that cause a dishonorable discharge, “adjudicated mentally defective”, use of illegal drugs, being under child protection restraining orders, and _conviction_ of “a crime involving the use of force against a person”. ---

I think just spread the word far and wide to all friends and associates of these dunderheads that they are Antifa, and FBI plants and crisis actors. Let them see what it’s like to be on the receiving end of bullshit like this. ---

They looked like they were on their lunch break from the local Best Buy, masked so their supervisor wouldn’t know they were late to go back to work. ---

Surprising absolutely no one - > **[Police in Idaho are getting death threats after arresting Patriot Front members](https://www.npr.org/2022/06/13/1104648289/patriot-front-arrests-idaho-updates)** > > Police in Idaho arrested 31 members of the white nationalist group Patriot Front this weekend. > White said the department received more than 100 calls to their office; half were applauding officers for their work, and the other half called to bash police for arresting the Patriot Front members. One call came all the way from Norway. Tying into the thought upthread that they may well have expected more (tacit at least) local support, especially from law enforcement than they thought they’d get. At least it was 50/50 - although I’m not sure if that matters when part of the 50% of negative calls include death threats. ---

Let’s see how the death threat people feel when they’re the ones getting arrested. Threatening a LEO is a felony just about everywhere, I suspect. ---
