WASHINGTON, D.C.—A group of white supremacists stormed through downtown Washington, D.C. on Saturday evening, bearing American flags and mildly menacing plastic shields while marching to the beat of a snare drum down the steps of the Lincoln Memorial. But after chanting aggressively about their plans to “reclaim America,” their intended show of force stalled spectacularly when they lost their ride.

While the group had marched through the city with threatening chants about their plan to “reclaim America,” by the end of the night it was not even clear how they intended to reclaim their U-Haul.

The rally by more than 100 members of the “Patriot Front” group, held just blocks from the White House, sparked fear among many bystanders and immediately attracted the attention of law enforcement, who shadowed the group to apparently prevent any clashes from erupting.

Members wore a uniform: white gators, sunglasses, blue jackets, khaki pants, and brown boots and hats. Some donned plastic shinguards, seeming to anticipate violence.

As Patriot Front’s leader Thomas Rousseau spoke beside the Capitol reflecting pool, bystanders booed. Asked about the reason for the march, Rousseau said, “Our demonstrations are an exhibition of our unified capability to organize, to show our strength—not as brawlers or public nuisances, but as men capable of illustrating a message and seeking an America that more closely resembles the interests of its true people.”

"It's true people". The Orange Pig's people, maybe, but not America's "true people". The vast majority of Americans despise asswipes like "Patriot Front".

Apparantly they forgot to organize a ride out of Washington with their fantastic "unified capability to organize". Jackasses.

1. are these the "real americans" I keep hearing about?

[SergeStorms]

2. So they say.

I guess that's what they think, but jeepers, you'd think these real AmeriKKKans wouldn't feel the need for scarves to cover their real AmeriKKKan faces.

[wnylib]

11. Scarves? Surprised it wasn't pointy hoods.

[Richard D]

13. Cosplay

with bad taste.

[Grins]

19. Maybe some pretty nifty armbands...?

We shouldn’t laugh. These guys are dangerous and will be back.

[wnylib]

23. They are definitely dangerous.

But I think they will be surprised if they push far enough to arouse the people who want no part of their BS.

[Skittles]

3. "its true people"

these fucking white supremacist idiots really believe they are the chosen ones

[IronLionZion]

4. The master race needs knee pads

[Progressive Jones]

9. That's for when they're working under Trump's desk. nt

[Ligyron]

30. I see what you did there.

Bwahaha!

[malaise]

38. You win the thread

[malaise]

39. You win the thread

[greenjar_01]

21. It's tactical gear for streetfighting

Also useful against rubber bullets, which the police bounce up into your shins. Never been in a protest that went sideways, I'd guess?

[IronLionZion]

35. ...

I suppose you also missed last summer when police decided against bouncing and just shot rubber bullets straight into unarmed protestors.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

43. How about not attacking DU members as a person, but address their ideas. "Joke"?

[IronLionZion]

45. OK

[58Sunliner]

5. I looked at that video and there were maybe a hundred of them.

True people, you dumb fucs, must mean native americans. I find it interesting that they do not publicize their marches in advance so they won't be out-numbered.

[SergeStorms]

7. Yeah, they'd get their "true American"....

asses heckled into the ground if they did.

They always need to be assured they have more dipshits like themselves present, anywhere they gather, to keep from getting their "true AmeriKKKan" asses stomped into a mudhole.

The nerve of these assholes.

[58Sunliner]

10. They sure would.

[wnylib]

12. I would love to see a group of

Native Americans show up at one of these rallies with signs reading, "Just what do you mean by true Americans?"

Not likely to happen, though. Native Americans have enough to deal with without making themselves targets of those losers.

[58Sunliner]

40. Thank you.

[LonePirate]

6. So they are capable of wearing mouth and nose coverings in public.

[Chellee]

34. Imagine if at the start

Trump had told them it was patriotic, or even that it was to fool facial recognition software. Honestly, we'd never get them out of masks. They'd wear them for the next 30 years.

Frankly, it still stuns me that he didn't want to sell masks with his name, so that they could be plastered across everyone's face. For someone who claims he never misses a marketing opportunity, this one just whizzed past him. He could have literally branded his supporters "to own the libs" and he didn't. This, more than anything, points to how truly inept he is as a business man. He's a good con, but he's a lousy business man.

[traitorsgalore]

8. That's the way the public should treat the KKK, let them march and then get lost

Freedom of speech allowed, ahole traitors booed and ignored, no violence.

[wnylib]

15. Yup. That's how to deal with them.

Minimal attention.

[SKKY]

14. Boebert calls Omar, AOC and the like "the Jihad squad".

I think we need to start calling groups like this "Y'all Queda".

[IronLionZion]

17. Vanilla ISIS

[PTWB]

16. I see they were wearing masks. I guess masks are not that oppressive after all.

Idiots.

[Mopar151]

18. These losers can't get around corners or through doors without help.

Massive evidence that Jan. 6 was a fixer? Look at them as solo acts.......

[greenjar_01]

20. They're learning...the uniform is essentially a Black Bloc tactic

They all have the same appearance in order to prevent identification. Compare the morons from January 6 who were all easily identified.

[IronLionZion]

36. Patriot Front does this every year

I live in DC, we're used to these idiots from Texas. They do it in winter so they can claim the gaiters are for warmth.

[left-of-center2012]

22. They arrived/left in a U-Haul moving van ?

It became clear that more than two dozen members of the white supremacist group could not leave, as they were apparently stranded.

Members of the group had waited to depart in one of the U-Hauls they had used to transport themselves for the rally. But the large rented moving van could not fit them all, so many of them were forced to wait in 45-degree darkness as the bulky orange vehicle made multiple trips over the course of nearly three hours.

[ShazzieB]

25. Too funny!

[not fooled]

24. Bet U-Haul is cursing its unlucky stars tonight

being associated, however inadvertently, with this group of asswipes.

Also, is it legal to transport people inside the cargo portion of a U-Haul? Not however the first time their trucks have been used to haul trash.

[ShazzieB]

28. Probably not legal, definitely not safe.

And U-Haul is probably pissed right now, for more reasons than one. They probably have rules about not transporting people that way that those a-holes blatantly broke!

Right now, I'm imaging all those people packed in there like sardines and thinking that they're incredibly lucky no one was hurt or (as far as we know) passed out from lack of oxygen.

[NBachers]

29. No, it's not legal to transport people inside the cargo portion of a U-Haul. From the U-Haul blog:

https://www.uhaul.com/blog/2013/05/17/5-things-not-to-do-while-driving-a-moving-truck/

1. Don’t allow passengers or pets to ride in the cargo area. A teenager might think it’s the greatest idea ever to ride in the back of the moving truck, but it is against the law and is also very dangerous. Passengers or pets riding in the cargo area risk injury due to shifting cargo, asphyxiation, and lack of collision protection. Please make sure that passengers ride in the cab with a safety belt, or ride in another car to your moving destination.

Now, let me see how I can contact U-Haul to point out these bozos breaking the law, and demand that they be held Damn Accountable!

[SeattleVet]

31. Absolutely illegal to transport people in the cargo area.

The police should have stopped the loading and impounded the trucks as evidence. Let the idiot that rented them pay for the towing, storage, and U-Haul fees for the extended rental and whatever extra charges they tack on for using their vehicles illegally.

[NBachers]

33. If only someone had thought of reporting a box truck packed with illegal human cargo.

Once the cops pulled them over and found they were Patriot Bund, they'd still be obligated to do like you said.

[Initech]

26. And their uniforms don't say "I'm a white supremacist".

Their uniforms say "Come take a look at this 2007 Kia Optima! Only 135K miles and low down payments!".

[LudwigPastorius]

27. Can those punks be re-humanized?

Billy's joined the National Front
He always was a little runt
He's got his hand in the air with the other c*#7s
You've got to humanize yourself

doubtful....

[NBachers]

32. Rat these rats off to U-Haul here:

[e-mail]

Here's the text of my complaint to U-Haul:

Dear U-Haul:   

On Saturday, December 4th, about 100 members of a group called Patriot Front staged a march in Washington DC.  They used a U-Haul box truck to transport themselves both to and from their location by packing themselves into the cargo area of the U-Haul box truck.  This is clearly illegal, and against U-Haul's rules.    You can see video of them loading themselves into the U-Haul box truck here:

  https://www.thedailybeast.com/patriot-front-white-nationalists-stage-bizarro-rally-in-downtown-dc-find-themselves-stranded?ref=home   

From the U-Haul blog:  1. Don’t allow passengers or pets to ride in the cargo area. A teenager might think it’s the greatest idea ever to ride in the back of the moving truck, but it is against the law and is also very dangerous. Passengers or pets riding in the cargo area risk injury due to shifting cargo, asphyxiation, and lack of collision protection. Please make sure that passengers ride in the cab with a safety belt, or ride in another car to your moving destination.

Please let me know how you're handling this dangerous, illegal, and against-policy violation.  You can reply to me via this email address.     

Thank you,  NBachers

47. the box trucks were from Penske

in the photos that I saw.

[msfiddlestix]

37. gotta laugh, just amildly concerned that this came as a surprise

to law enforcement officials.

seems they were surprised and caught off guard?

glad it wasn't better attended.. loved your comment "forgot to ride out of Washington with their fantastic capability to organize" ..

good chuckles to start the day.



(edited to delete question I since learned the answer)

[DashOneBravo]

41. Man did anyone else bust out laughing?

After reading this:

But after chanting aggressively about their plans to “reclaim America,” their intended show of force stalled spectacularly when they lost their ride.

[GopherGal]

46. You'd think they could at least "organize" themselves some DC Metro maps/schedules.

I mean, I don't intend to read enough about them to learn where the U-Haul was ferrying them to, and if the Metro would have been a convenient option.

But, as we saw from the senior Crumbleys' misguided attempts to flee prosecution, some circles see public transportation as beneath them...

[DashOneBravo]

48. They don't seem to be that smart.

I mean they showed up in the first place. Which is dumb.

Also I’m sure every area on the way up, is covered by cameras and I hope they can find them. Maybe when their faces were not covered.

[maxrandb]

42. Former Gov Bullock explains that "democrats don't talk enough " to these folks nt

[eShirl]

44. wouldn't America's true people be all the Native Americans, though?

think about it
these nazi cub scouts are something else

[Initech]

49. Khakis and blue jackets? Are they going to sell us used Kias?

[skypilot]

50. For THIS they will mask up.

Everyone of them.
