Inside the influential hate group that's expanding in Tennessee (youtube.com)
Building compounds, military and fight training.
The journalists here are saying they are hate activists or hobbyists ‘wrapping themselves in a veil of patriotism’. ‘Hardened white supremicists who want ... a white ethnostate somewhere in the US.’
They try to say that the group, apprehended by police on the way to a Pride parade in the back of a Uhaul, were ‘prepared for battle’ because they have shields. ‘Those shields can be used offensively ... They're intended to push and to move people out of the way.’ You don't think the absense of offensive weapons contradicts this thesis? They also found other armor, radios, first aid kits, and one ‘even carried a smoke grenade.’ This ‘journalism’ did publish a lot of interview material from the prosecution but none, it seems, from the defense. The journalist himself weighs in to fill in prosecutory theories the prosecutor probably legally can't.
They comment on how the group(s) are ‘smart’ now, unlike, they reference, old-days KKK. I guess intelligence is a response to difficulty.
NewChannel5, I guess this is what they call ‘journalism’. Pretty long story.
