Tough Guy White Supremacists Given Lesson In Politeness By Good Citizens Of Philly





https://www.wonkette.com/fascist-white-supremacists-fail-to-wow-philly-with-khakis-turtlenecks-pulled-over-their-heads

On Sunday night, members of the rightwing white supremacist fascist group Patriot Front attempted to invade the City of Brotherly Love by pouring out of a clown car/truck in matching outfits and marching around with what appeared to be their turtlenecks pulled up over their heads while holding flags with fascist symbols and American flags, both right-side up and upside down.

While it's not totally clear what the hell they intended to accomplish with this, they ended up getting chased away by the citizenry of Philadelphia and trying to disguise their return to their Penske moving trucks with a smoke bomb.

Alas, the Criss Angel antics were unsuccessful, as it was pretty clear what they were doing.

Here is another good video of Philadelphia locals chasing off the fascists.

Via ABC6:

Police said no one in the group was from Philadelphia. The group is based in Texas and traveled into the city.

"They started engaging with citizens of Philadelphia, who were none too happy about what they were saying. These males felt threatened, and, at one point, somebody in their crowd threw a type of smoke bomb to cover their retreat, and they literally ran away from the people of Philadelphia," said Philadelphia Police Officer Michael Crum.

Police later questioned the entire radical group after pulling their trucks over for safety reasons along Delaware Avenue.

under the cover of 'darkness' and try and disrupt things, break windows, etc., in short, trying to shift blame to minority groups, etc. St. Louis City had this same thing happen but some of the thugs were caught in the act, some of the local citizens followed them after watching them break business windows and such, alerted police and/or other authorities to the thuggish efforts.
