Patriot Front, which is based out of Texas, is described by the Anti-Defamation League as “a white supremacist group whose members maintain that their ancestors conquered America and bequeathed it solely to them.”

They are known to participate in localized flash mobs, the likes of which happened in Philadelphia Saturday night, according to the ADL. The Independent reported that members of the group also marched in Washington, D.C., Saturday.

1. Native Americans might have something to say about these dicks....

[Evolve Dammit]

3. In the Ken Burns Lewis and Clark film, there was a point that the tribe could have killed them and

seized their cache of rifles, which at the time, would have rendered them extremely powerful. Sacajawea (sp?) talked them out of it, but history could have been much different had they decided to do them in. I hope these assholes meet a real fate.

2. Why are they hiding behind face coverings...cuz they know their hate is WRONG. So disgusted. n/t

[leftieNanner]

5. This year's Klan mask fashion choice.

[iluvtennis]

7. Indeed. n/t

[Polybius]

23. Probably because they know they'll be outed and fired from their jobs

Mass firings took place after the Charlottesville "Unite the Right" march in 2017. Bosses wanted nothing to do with these nutcases.

[iluvtennis]

24. Exactly. n/t

[mdbl]

26. chicken shits!

[Permanut]

4. The face of evil hiding behind a white mask..

Convenient for the next step, when they make them into pointed hats with eye holes.

[Traildogbob]

6. Come on!

That is the new Covid mask. To protect fellow citizens.

[Permanut]

25. A humanitarian gesture..

I had these guys all wrong.

8. "The Khaki Pants" doesn't roll off the tongue as slickly as "The Brownshirts", does it?

[forgotmylogin]

10. Polo-Queda

[OldBaldy1701E]

20. I like that one! (n/t)

[stillcool]

9. I guess this was what the feds were worried about?

[marble falls]

11. They look like the KKK's Boy Scouts. Only goofier. They haven't earned their tiki torch badges yet?

[2Gingersnaps]

21. Back during the last "thousand year reich"

They actually did use a variation of boy scouts to build that sense of social connection and community for "right thinking," pretty much the way the internet is used now to encourage a variation of "Brownshirts." No mosquitos, no sweating, lotsa beer. ("Before The Deluge" by Otto Friedrich-the social political environment post WWI pre WWII, the fall of the Weimar Republic and the rise of Hitler concerning the "hiking and camping." One of the best books I have ever read.)

[Catch2.2]

12. Now all of a sudden...

They have no problems wearing masks.

[oldsoftie]

14. LOL!!!

[oldsoftie]

13. If no one showed up they wouldnt come back

They want attention. Let the cops be their only audience & they go away to their holes
They WANT confrontation

[CountAllVotes]

15. Let them be shamed

They can go home and stay there.

Mama's callin' ya !

[reACTIONary]

16. Since they were arrested....

... they might be publicly id'ed. So much for the masks.

[rockfordfile]

19. I agree

[Progressive Jones]

17. It seems to me that a great opportunity was missed here. nt

[Midnight Writer]

18. At what point in a life does someone decide to do something like this?

50 of them? Jesus Christ.

[TexasBushwhacker]

22. And they believe America was bequeathed solely to them

What do you want to bet they don't pay taxes either? After all, America BELONGS to them!

Is the DSM ever going going to have condition they describe as DSS - Delusional Supremacist Syndrome? It seems like it would cover a lot of groups; these guys, the Proud Boys, the KKK, the Sovereign Citizens ...

[FlyingPiggy]

27. I saw a video where they got walked back bc Philly ain't havin it.

Philly is not a place I would go and mess with. That video of them running away was beautiful.
