Five members of a white supremacist hate group convicted of plotting to riot at a gay pride event will spend three days in jail, a court has ruled. The men and dozens other members of the Patriot Front group were arrested last June after a resident spotted them with masks and shields getting into a lorry. Police were called and found riot gear and a smoke grenade in the vehicle. The lorry was stopped near where the North Idaho Pride Alliance was holding an event in the city of Coeur d’Alene. Forrest Rankin, Devin Center, Derek Smith, James Michael Johnson and Robert Whitted were convicted on Thursday of misdemeanour charges of conspiracy to riot.
