The authorities in Coeur d'Alene, a city in the US state of Idaho, announced they had prevented a "conspiracy to riot" on Saturday, following a tip from a concerned citizen who had informed them about a truck full of masked armed thugs looking "like a little army."

A suspicious U-Haul truck was pulled over not far from Coeur d'Alene City Park, where a Pride Month event was taking place, on Saturday afternoon. Inside the vehicle, police found a group of men wearing similar khakis, navy blue shirts, balaclavas, and hats – with arm patches and logos identifying them as members of the far-right Patriot Front organization.
