    well they did have shields, I posted it was reported they had shields. That makes my post incomplete in response, not a complete fabrication.

    Unfortunately I get exposed to it more than I desire.

    You say these white nationalists are brainwashed and idiots. Where do you think they get their ideas from? You have members of your parties that attend white nationalist conferences and gathering. They defend their events. The curry their favor. And they use their language.

    Then you are shocked that these people do these things? The right creates them.

    You're overall tone.

    They coordinated an event where they wore matching uniforms, masks covering their identities, and had riot shields and a smoke grenade to disrupt a pride event. That's not just preparing to protest.

    The fact they coordinated an event to incite violence and were in the process of carrying out seems to be the most relevant information.

    A complete fabrication would suggest that none of the information was true, which is obviously not the case. Why are you using hyperbole? Seems like that's what the Daily Beast reporting did and you are doing too.....

    Both sides huh?

    Partially incorrect would be a more neutral way of looking at it as they accurately reported how they were arrested and what they were up to. They inaccurately reported "weapons" which were riot shields and a smoke grenade.

    Did daily beast report that or did a random on Twitter claim the daily beast reported that?

    My tone of getting the facts seems to trigger you guys but this thread now has some facts to form opinions with.

    They based it off the Daily Beast report. However, the link by the OP from the local news channel doesn't mention weapons. Why don't you focus on that report?

    No it's your tone and misuse of words like "complete fabrication" when trying to "get the facts". Why would you call it a "complete fabrication" when the initial reporting from some random twitter report was mostly correct?

    Seems like you are more worried about the Daily Beast and twitter, than the fact that right wing extremists got caught trying to incite violence.

    Let's see..... they were right about the U-Haul.... they were right about white supremacist... they were right about them being masked..... they were right about the intentions.... but they didn't have "weapons" but had riot shields and a smoke grenade.

    A "complete fabrication" indeed....

    Pedantic people - sheesh!

    I certainly hope that they have that level of effort on Trump speeches......and Fox news reporting.

    Complete fabrication is entirely correct for bobrek saying billy clubs. He completely pulled it out of his butt. That is what I was referring too, and that was very clear. Weapons is probably incorrect. My guess is daily beast didn't make either mistake.

    He said he got from "riot gear" which does include billy clubs but just not in this case:

    Doesn't sound like a complete fabrication but just incomplete information or the wrong leap of conclusions. Again "complete fabrication" suggest he intentionally made it up. The only thing incorrect was "weapons" and "billy clubs" but everything else turned out to be accurate. They coordinated in order to incite violence per the Police Chief.... Clearly the gear they had was meant to incite violence.

    It wasn't BS.... it was mostly right except for the "weapons" as I clearly laid out.

    Lastly.... nowhere have you condoned this coordinated plan by right wingers to incite violence.... you seem to be more concerned about playing "gotcha" in an event that recently happened and more information is coming in.

    What was your rhetoric about Jan 6? Similar?

    So then where did they get their brainwashing from? Mainstream media? Or right wing media?

    You know you are full of hate and bigotry when you would travel across the country to protest a Gay Pride event.
