A propaganda banner hung by members of white nationalist group Patriot Front burst into flames and fell into traffic lanes on Interstate 35 near Sanger, Texas, on May 21, 2021, according to an arrest report and 2022 leaks of Patriot Front chats, documents and media.

Sanger Police Department officers arrested Austin J. Amato, 23, then of Fort Worth, Texas, and Tristan M. Yeager, 22, then of Haslet, Texas, on deadly conduct charges in relation to the incident, according to an arrest report. The report alleges that officers saw the banner catch fire and fall onto the roadway. The Sanger Fire Department helped extinguish the blaze.

The failed banner drop is the latest in a string of incidents in which alleged Patriot Front activities have presented a danger to public safety. On June 11, police in Coeur D’Alene, Idaho, arrested 31 members of the group including leader and founder Thomas Rousseau when the group attempted to counterprotest a Pride event in the city.

Hatewatch previously reported on a February 2021 auto crash that killed one member of the hate group and hospitalized six others including Patriot Front leader and founder Thomas Rousseau, whose injuries required emergency surgery.

1. They attached flares to their sign.

So, it was designed to burn?

Or are they so stupid they thought the flares would illuminate their sign?

2. How does a banner catch on fire like that?

Thoughts and prayers though.
