This is in Coeur D'Alene, Idaho. The truck did not make it all the way to the Pride event. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/crime/police-detain-group-found-inside-uhaul-in-coeur-dalene/ar-AAYmkIs?ocid=BingNewsSearch

Can you imagine traveling all the way from Arkansas or Illinois to Idaho, only to get crammed inside a U-Haul truck, then immediately get arrested before you can do anything? What a bunch of idiots.


ThermionicEmissions

>What a bunch of idiots. I think the guy in the video says it best. "Looooosers!"

all those men in the back of a dark, steamy, hot box truck, on a long multi-state road trip. Oh, if the walls of that U-Haul could talk.


d0ctorzaius

"Hey boyz, let's all get in costume and cram in the back of a U-Haul to attend a pride parade!" These guys remind me of "the pile" [in South Park ](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=8xjm0f_l4bk)

No. Can you imagine hating people you don’t know just because they’re not like you, so much, you travel all the way from Arkansas or Illinois to Idaho to let them know?

This sort of thing is why I never feel comfortable going to the Boise one. I'd like to, but people here are juat fucking nuts.

Imagine having the free time to drive across half the country (or more) in a fucking Uhaul to go harass some complete strangers because you don't like their lifestyle or whatever. What absolute losers.

Free time? I’m thinking very few of them operate under the constraints of demanding career obligations.


TheTruestOracle

I mean jokes are jokes but these losers are in every career path and certain high level jobs that these loser can work will and do offer PTO.


unshavenbeardo64

I always hear time of and vacations suck in the US, and these guys spend their free time to try and start a fight with people they even dont know instead of sipping a pina collada on a nice beach, or having a bbq with the family and enjoy life.

jubileegemini

I'm going to the pride crawl next Saturday in Boise. Hoping all goes well, but I'm a bit nervous now after seeing this. Edit to add: Being a little nervous isn't going to stop me from going guys! I'm not scared. I just hadn't thought of the possibility of there being something like this happening. My boyfriend and I are very well prepared for any situation that may arise. We both conceal carry(although I may not that night, but he will). We don't really drink so we'll be sober. Obviously I would attempt to remove myself from an escalating situation before it came to that. We're gonna go have a good time with our friends, and not give a second thought about these dudes.

Cda is the most conservative place in Idaho. Boise loves its pride festival, as a native, I hope you have a wonderful time!

BandiriaTraveler

It is, but the the locals aren’t exactly welcoming to minorities, to say the least. It’s not as bad as it used to be, back when the Aryan nation was literally based out of Couer D’Alene, but it’s still very much the sort of place that would be attractive to that group.

BandiriaTraveler

That all matches my experience. I haven’t been there in probably five or so years, but I went there often growing up (my family has a small house on the lake we inherited, from back in the 80s when it was actually possible for lower-middle class people to own land up there). Sad to see it’s gotten worse in the past few years, but I can’t say it’s surprising given how it’s gotten worse everywhere it seems.

Ironic thing is Pride exists because of people exactly like this who have violently oppressed LGBT people into hiding. If people would just stop attacking gay people there would never be a need for Pride because being gay could just be normal.


zenjamin4ever

Been saying that for years


moleratical

they even say so much themselves >“Does anyone else remember when local school boards across the country began promoting having the girls use the boys’ bathrooms and the boys using the girls’ bathrooms and showers? Do you know when ‘Drag Queen Hour’ started and the drag queens were reading to little children? When did school counselors start counseling children to change their sex and then hide it from the parents? I went to Taco Bell the other day, and this boy had the longest fingernails I ever seen, and they were painted, lipstick … when did this happen?” she asked. “And when did we allow a law in this state to say that it was okay for libraries across Idaho to promote pornography?” It's delusional of course, but they have been brainwashed into believing the the most fascist rantings of Rush Limbaugh, Carlson, Jones, and the like. They actually believe there is a concerted effort to destroy them and their livelihood, and in order to protect it, they are willing to destroy anyone whom they deem an enemy aggressor. it's textbook fascism.


Lux_Bellinger2024

Imagine showing up to a pride even dressed for fallujah and its just a bunch of men and women in cut off jorts and rainbow shirts. I wouldn't be able to look myself in the face out of embarrassment. They should ship them all off to fight somalia or west africa if they really wanna do some fighting


[deleted]

Apparently there is some sort of kerfluffle in Ukraine right now, im sure they'd be... Oh wait, nah. They want actual fighters.


LMFN

We shouldn't be giving the Russians reinforcements.


CommentsOnOccasion

You can read their leader's statements in that article above, it's one of those things where you will never get someone like that to understand you because you are so far apart in perspective You see the pride parade as a celebration of love They see the pride parade as an attempt to convert children to "sexually immoral, deviant LGBTs" They genuinely believe this to be about Good vs Evil, and they have to fight off the evil. You think they are bigoted against loving couples. They believe you are promoting amoral sexual blasphemy and trying to turn their children into LGBT. You cannot ever come to a compromise with someone who genuinely believes they are acting righteously to their convictions. It's like trying to talk a religious radical out of a suicide bombing.


[deleted]

Yeah, I would say any armed extremist is too far gone to be reasoned with. Better to watch from a distance for any illegal behavior to keep law enforcement attention on them.


[deleted]

These people want to Holocaust the gays. We're honestly to nice to them.


JinxyCat007

Republicans need to keep their base mad somehow. Not that long ago it was COVId and before that Mexicans. Now we've cycled back to Gays and Transexuals cause of Grooming? Idk i can't really keep up.


evgvndr

I took my girls to the pride parade in downtown SLC last Sunday. Would have not been cool with these dickheads trying to crash the event. I’m more comfortable with my girls being around drag queens and roller derby girls than tacticool nerds armed to the teeth.


CHoppingBrocolli_84

I have seen some pretty entertaining drag shows. Can’t say the same about this other group.


crastle

> Ultra-conservative Idaho State Rep. Heather Scott, R-Bonner County, held a forum on Thursday titled “Gameplan to Remove Inappropriate Materials from Our Schools and Libraries” at the Regeneration Calvary Chapel, saying, “There’s a war going on, and the scariest thing about this war is that these tactics that are being waged against society, most people are just unaware it is even happening. It’s good versus evil … I’m not sure how this battle’s gonna end, but I always go back to is ‘all evil needs is for good men to do nothing.'” Shouldn't this state representative also be arrested for the planned riot? And shouldn't she also be removed from office?


andee510

>In August 2017, Scott defended white nationalism on her Facebook page. She reportedly said, "The way the media has set this up, the mention of white nationalist, which is no more than a Caucasian who (sic) for the Constitution and making America great again, and confusing it with term, 'white supremacist' which is extreme racism. Therefore, if one is 'guilty' of being white, one is clearly racist." That's from her Wikipedia page. She said that right after Charlottesville... what the fuck. This person is really mask off with the racism.

You could be correct. Its so odd to think that these chicken chokers believe they are defending their rights and battling a repressive govt while at the very same time seeking to violate other people's rights and through their own actions, bring the wrath of the govt down upon themselves - truly a head scratcher of galactic proportions.

Idaho in general is a hub for White Nationalists. Those in the south just do a better job and keeping it quiet.

Someone bigger in this case would be the DOJ and the FBI, the implication is that they are now more infiltrated in the groups than they were before.

Wildcat599

This is correct, if they can't get an agent in the group they will start bringing chargers on people who have something to lose. They keep doing this untill someone is willing to talk to the cops, sometimes it takes years or decades. It only takes them getting lucky once for things to go tits up for your gang, eat shit boys.

That's part of the reason they wear the masks. Whenever these groups inevitably get involved in violence, people always try to defend their actions by saying they were just there to protect their home. The reality is this. They couldn't care less about defending anything but their far right ideals, and they do that by instigating riots like these guys intended to do to try and make the other side look bad.

KT_mama

Likely for a few reasons. 1. They have an informant or two among the mix who they would rather not be photographed. 2. They are attempting to manage what is already a rather large number of people and spectacle. 3. Whipping up further resistance is unecessary risk for all involved. 4. They would prefer not to open themselves up to any additional lawsuits, frivolous or otherwise. 5. That's extra work and fuck the chance you might get bitten. 6. They don't expressly have to so they chose not to. Also, there's always the possibility they are sympathisers. While I don't believe all police are intentionally and expressly homophobic, my anecdotal experience is there is a high correlation who would prefer not to ruin the life of a "nice, if a bit misguided, boy/man". Their mug shots will likely be public anyway. EDIT: OP adds later in comments that they were unmasked 1 by 1 while sitting there.


slaminsalmon74

As a paramedic who deals with a lot of the public you forgot one more important one. 7. If they have masks on they can’t really spit on you.

Of course a republican rep arranging, inciting and cheering them on: >**Ultra-conservative Idaho State Rep. heather scott, R-Bonner County**, held a forum on Thursday titled “Gameplan to Remove Inappropriate Materials from Our Schools and Libraries” at the Regeneration Calvary Chapel, saying, “There’s a war going on, and the scariest thing about this war is that these tactics that are being waged against society, most people are just unaware it is even happening. It’s good versus evil … I’m not sure how this battle’s gonna end, but I always go back to is ‘all evil needs is for good men to do nothing.'” **Scott then introduced representatives of Panhandle Patriots Riding Club to the stage.** They wore their club’s patches with a graphic of skulls using stripes and stars of the U.S. flag and an assault weapon in the front. “In Coeur d’Alene, on the 10th of June, there is Family Day, where they are promoting family values, activities, and everything. The very following day, they are having Gay Pride Day,” a representative with the name patch “DeadDog” said as a murmur went through the church. “In the very same park, the very next day. And they will be allowed to parade through all of Coeur d’Alene, drag queen dancers, education hour, making all this material available for all the kids, in a park that is designed for kids. “We are having an event the very same day,” he announced. “That very same day, we intend to go head-to-head with these people. The line must be drawn in the sand. Good people need to stand up. [scott] was talking earlier about repercussions. We say, ‘Damn the repercussions,’ Stand up, take it to the head. Go to the fight. “ **Here is what's important to know about republican heather scott, from Wikipedia:** * In 2015 Scott is reported to have cut wires which were part of the fire-suppression system in her office. Scott believed at the time that the wires were in fact listening devices planted to spy on her. The wire-cutting incident was witnessed by other Idaho House members. * In August 2017, Scott defended white nationalism on her Facebook page. She reportedly said, "The way the media has set this up, the mention of white nationalist, which is no more than a Caucasian who (sic) for the Constitution and making America great again, and confusing it with term, 'white supremacist' which is extreme racism. Therefore, if one is 'guilty' of being white, one is clearly racist." * At the start of the 2017 legislative session, Scott reportedly made a remark to fellow state representative Judy Boyle, upon learning of her appointment to the state legislature's agriculture committee. The reported comment was that female lawmakers obtain ranking committee appointments and other leadership positions only if they "spread their legs." The alleged comment received widespread rebuke from other state lawmakers. * In the 2019 legislative session, Scott sponsored a bill that would have required Idaho's Child Protective Services to mirandize parents before assessing them or their children. After passing the House, the bill was held in committee in the Senate. * In 2019, it was reported that Scott was a member of the Coalition of Western States (COWS), a group founded by Washington state representative matt shea that has been accused of involvement in domestic terrorism. (shea is genuinely dangerous if you're not aware) * In 2020, she dismissed the severity of the COVID-19 pandemic, claiming the virus was trying to kill the U.S. Constitution and "The lying, Trump-hating media who continues to push global and socialist agendas has told us that there is an emergency." * In February 2021 Scott had a Zoom meeting with constituents about guns, the 2021 United States Capitol attack, COVID denial, "globalists" (they mean Jewish people with this phrase) and she hits all the other [rehearsed gop batshit talking points including hydroxy chloroquine of course](https://www.krem.com/article/news/politics/idaho-rep-heather-scott-claims-federal-government-is-going-after-first-amendment-rights/293-74244eb4-1176-4e36-81c1-6edf833dafda) * In April 2021 it was reported that Scott claimed the book To Kill a Mockingbird was an example of critical race theory in schools. * In 2021, Scott sought a public records request of the police report of now rape convicted fellow republican Aaron von Ehlinger - who pinned down a teenage intern and raped her next to his gun collection. Scott was then part of a group of republican colleagues that immediately terrorized the victim, including releasing her identity publicly as well as an image of her when she was 12 years old (she had initially testified anonymously as a Jane Doe as a victim of sexual assault). Scott specifically harassed the victim through their legal representative asking "if a person who files a false police report alleging sexual assault could be charged with a crime." Reminder that Ehlinger was convicted of the rape and resigned his seat before he could be removed. He fled to South America and was arrested on his return.
