White Nationalist Group Convicted of Planning Riot at Idaho Pride Event
TL;DR
Five members of the white nationalist hate group Patriot Front have been convicted of conspiracy to riot at a Pride event in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho. The group, which included the founder, was arrested in 2022 after police found riot gear and weapons in a U-Haul van near the event. Documents revealed their plan to form a confrontational column and engage in disruptive behavior. Rioting is a misdemeanor in Idaho, and the convicted individuals face up to one year in jail, a $5,000 fine, and two years of probation. Sentencing is scheduled for Friday.
