White Supremacist Group Takes Over Kansas City For Memorial Weekend March - Black Information Network via MSN

According to KCTV, Patriot Front, a white supremacist hate group, convened in downtown Kansas City wearing white face masks, hats, and sunglasses to obscure their faces along with matching khaki and navy outfits.

Patriot Front members carried altered or upside-down American flags as they took over the city ahead of Memorial Day. Videos online showed the group loading into several large U-Haul trucks before departing to another location.

“We condemn this attempt to promote white supremacy and urge all community leaders and elected officials to similarly reject racism and all other forms of bigotry,” CAIR-Kansas City Board Chair Moussa Elbayoumy said in a statement.

Kansas City Mayor Quinton Lucas also spoke out about the gathering, calling out the group's message of hate and cowardice.

"very fine people," no doubt.

2. They didn't take over. They came in UHaul

And stayed on the sidewalk and marched around for an hour then got back in the truck and left.

Bunch of wierdos from out of town.

6. Well, admittedly, I guess in a

"move along, nothing to see here" kind of way, masked, uniformed, and unidentified vigilantes carrying upside down and otherwise defaced American flags (along with the customary Confederate ones) HAS become de rigueur nowadays in the good ol us of a, and on a brighter note, they weren't actually wearing white hoods and on horseback....

8. They did get in trouble with UHAUL.

They didn't need a permit because they stayed on the sidewalk. They marched around like the idiots they are for an hour.
They were out at the WWI memorial.

They weren't any different than the protesters from Westboro Babtist Church.
I'm sure KCPD were watching. People here just ignore them. Mostly they just looked stupid. The big leader took his mask off so he could say a few words. You could tell he just wasn't right.

I don't know where they came from.

4. In this Administration, CAIR is the terrorist group and Patriot Front are the good guys. Officially.

7. To be fair, 100 idiots and their pencilneck leader

shouting, standing on some stairs, or tooling around in the back of a UHaul like so much ill-stacked luggage, isn't quite what I'd call a "takeover" of Kansas City.

It's their free speech too, and if they want to loudly vocalize how fucking stupid they are, then so be it.

11. There were probably police cars all over the

place. Their cars are always very visible.
They sit and watch. They didn't want it to escalate.
