31 White supremacists were arrested wearing all kinds of 'riot gear' and ready to kick axx at Idaho Gay parade.

[fuzzybuddy]

A bunch of white supremacists were arrested. They were planning disrupt a gay parade. They were wearing what is called "riot gear". Apparently, they wanted to beat up fags, and N's. My God, they're out there. And quite frankly, there's a lot around me. (Northeast PA)

Good, throw away the keys please...!~!

 

[Aunt Bea]

This will be an interesting legal case to follow.

I'm glad that the alleged plan was foiled before anyone was injured.

Based solely on the information in the video, it sounds like the authorities may have a weak criminal case even though they saved the day.

 

[HoneyNut]

You'd think they could be charged with hate crime intentions or domestic terrorism plans or something.

White supremacists?... I'm not sure I understand the connection... was it a Black gay parade ?

 

[Pepper]

No, but there are black people who are gay, so they were part of the parade.

 

[SeniorBen]

Glad they were caught before they had a chance to kill anybody.

 

[hollydolly]

No, but there are black people who are gay, so they were part of the parade.

so they were just going to break up a parade because a few black people irritated them for being black.. ?.. jeez how old are these people?

 

[Pepper]

No, it's for being gay and some of the gays are black.

 

[Lewkat]

Do they arrest Antifa in riot gear who actually are caught in the act? No, of course not, but the police assume that these people were aiming to cause a riot and do damage. This will not fly in a court of law. For all those cops know, they were planning to march peacefully. My point here is; simply because they were in a truck dressed in what was termed as riot gear, they were arrested while others who really do the damage get away with God knows what. Something wrong here.

 

[hollydolly]

No, it's for being gay and some of the gays are black.

huh?..I'm even more confused.... white supremacists are also anti-gays?..sometimes I think I live in a parallel universe

 

[Pepper]

Think Hitler, think Nazi and those are the folks disliked by the white thugs. Everyone/Anyone who is not them.

The few White Supremacists I have met seem to hate everyone not like them...

Good thing we don't have many. Too many no doubt but they are very much the fringe...

Make no mistake, there are millions of people here in the U.S. that are of that mentality. Nothing to be proud of...

 

[Della]

That's how they seem to me. And I would define "not like them," as anybody who isn't white, straight, male, and stupid. Still, as Lewkat says, none of that's against the law.

Not so fast.

White nationalist violence is a form of terrorism that’s not only entrenched, but has ballooned to become the biggest domestic security threat in the nation.

The FBI director said that white supremacists comprise “the biggest chunk of our domestic terrorism portfolio overall” and “have been responsible for the most lethal attacks over the last decade."

[Gaer]

The news report was rather vague on their purpose or who they were presumed to be preparing to attack.
It seemed a quite incomplete news report.

No one can be charged based on assumed intentions. Verbal threats of harm to a particular person or people is a crime if it's done face-to-face. Appearing threatening isn't necessarily a chargeable offense.

It's not unusual.
White supremacists hate everybody - Blacks, Jews, Gays; anyone who is not what they are.
Hatred is the only way they know to assert their manhood.
In my view, they are actually larger versions of frightened children who are afraid of everyone.

Yeah, they're probably uncomfortable that the word homogeneous begins with h-o-m-o.

The 3rd Reich threw gay people into concentration camps. For them, diverse = perverse.

@fuzzybuddy I don't think you meant to be offensive... but...

"Fag is mainly used as an offensive term for homosexuals. Although it has other meanings, you should probably avoid it at all costs.

This is a very strong word that should be avoided in nearly all situations: fag (short for faggot) is a hateful slur against homosexuals. Because fag is such an offensive word, the other meanings are uncommon, but fagging has also meant working hard and getting tired, as in fagging out. A fag — especially in England — is also a cigarette, and in British boys’ schools, fags are servants for older boys."

And N's, really? How about Blacks or African Americans instead?

Hopefully, you're just using terms the white supremacists use.

In my opinion, it's more their belief that they're superior and inferiors shouldn't even breathe their air.

Just a heads up.

Bella, I'm absolutely certain Fuzzy was intentionally offensive out of disgust for the White Supremacists.
