COEUR D'ALENE, Idaho -- Authorities arrested 31 members of the white supremacist group Patriot Front near an Idaho pride event Saturday after they were found packed into the back of a U-Haul truck with riot gear. “They came to riot downtown,” Coeur d’Alene Police Chief Lee White said at a news conference. They wore arm patches and logos on their hats that identified them as members of Patriot Front, he said. The truck was stopped near where the North Idaho Pride Alliance was holding the Coeur d’Alene Pride in the Park event. “It appears these people did not come here to engage in peaceful events,” Kootenai County Sheriff Bob Norris told a Coeur d’Alene Press reporter.
