Police in Idaho are getting death threats after arresting Patriot Front members

Police in Idaho arrested 31 members of the white nationalist group Patriot Front this weekend.
www.npr.org www.npr.org
The police chief and some of his staff who arrested the white supremacists who were going to interrupt the gay parade are now receiving death threats. These white supremacy groups are terrorist groups and need to be treated as such. They are no different and even worse than such groups outside of our country as they have all of the freedoms of an American and they use it to persecute those who do not agree with them. It is time that the Feds did something about them, but of course as long as they are the "friends" of Trump, the GOP will balk at doing anything.
 
Make threats against a police chief should not be tolerated and justified any more than threats against a judge. Let’s treat them all the same

Are you as worried about the death threats that Brett Kavanaugh, his wife and kids are receiving.
And the president does not give a whit about it. The people surrounding his home are violating federal law and the
witless AG won't do anything! Just damn shameful!!

Are they? The law says they can't protest judges to try and influence their decisions. They have zero chance of influencing Kavanaugh's decision. They're protesting where the protest will get the most press coverage.

I'm very worried. The worst thing that could happen to the pro-choice movement is for some nut job to harm a Justice, or the family member of a Justice.
 
I didn't even know that they went to all that trouble for a Gay parade. I assumed they were going to protest some constitutional right or something.
Not kidding. All that bravado for a simple parade? Geez....

What is your suggestion for what the Feds should do about them?
 
I saw a picture of all the suspects.

With all due respect, there is no doubt that at least some of them have personal issues when it comes to gay relations.

That is usually the case with gay bashers.

When did someone not take seriously the threat against a judge. In fact, the man who threatened Kavanaugh is in jail and will not see the light of day for many years.

In defense of protesting outside judges’ houses | Will Bunch Newsletter

U.S. leaders have walled themselves off from accountability. Their sidewalks are fair game.

Do you think hat this is the first time a judge has been protested, really? I suspect that as long as they are peaceful and do not attempt to impede the Justice or his family, they will be left alone as the laws prohibiting such peaceful protests are probably unconstitutional as they violate thee First Amendment.. I also suspect that if this were cons protesting a decision, you would not be as upset.

It's not uncommon that some terrorists have legitimate grievances, that some are persecuted - these people's grievance is that gay people exist and they can't kill them. So ya, they're worse than many terrorists.
