White supremacist group marches through Philadelphia before Fourth of July celebrations

The white supremacist group "literally ran away from the people of Philadelphia," police said.

The group, who go by the name "Patriot Front" are based in Texas and they traveled into the city.

Action News was the only crew on the scene as the group traveled down the Ben Franklin Parkway, across Market, Chestnut and Walnut Streets before marching to Penn's Landing.

Hundreds of masked protesters from Patriot Front chanted, while carrying American flags and shields.

At Penn's Landing, several onlookers began yelling at the protesters and banging on trucks as the group loaded into the vehicles and drove off.

Police say some of the angry onlookers scared off the white supremacists.


"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 threw a smoke bomb to cover their retreat, and they literally ran away from the people of Philadelphia," said Philadelphia Police Officer Michael Crum.

They're the same group who vandalized a Breonna Taylor and George Floyd mural in Louisville and a George Floyd statue in Brooklyn

Breonna Taylor, George Floyd mural in Louisville vandalized, suspects caught on camera

The “Say Their Names” mural on 11th Street, created in July 2020 to honor the lives of Breonna Taylor, George Floyd and others killed by police was vandalized early Monday morning.

George Floyd Statue in Brooklyn Is Defaced With Hate Group’s Symbol (Published 2021)

The vandalism came just days after the statue was unveiled, and only a day before the officer who killed Mr. Floyd was to be sentenced.

Of all places to try and act like a tough guy, why on earth would you choose Philly? The city radiates "Fuck around and find out" energy.

Lmao at that smoke bomb shit. If the people there really wanted to throw down a smoke bomb won't do shit to deter them.

Still don't know what they expected though. "Oh yeah let's go act stupid in philly we won't have any problems." Lol. Should've wore Dallas Cowboy merch while they were at it.

There are so many of these groups wtf.

Lol @ them literally throwing a smoke bomb and running like some anime gag. Someone there must've been itching to use that bomb for years.

Whites are a numerical minority in Philadelphia, so it's probably one of the worst places to fuck around with your white supremacy LARP bullshit.

You will all be very surprised to hear that the first comments on an NBC Facebook posts about this was "At least they didn't loot and burn down the place!!"

Wonder if Tim Pool will be asking the hard questions about who organized this, purchased all of the shields and rented the van? Seriously though...what did these dumbasses think would happen showing up in Philly. Can't believe this is how they spent their 4th of July weekend.

I especially like the part where they are all wearing masks here but when it comes to covid it's "but mah freedoms". Guess they are afraid of showing there face as they should be.
