Patriot Front white supremacists march in downtown Tallahassee, take photo at Old Capitol

About two dozen members of the hate group Patriot Front, a Texas-based white supremacist and neo-fascist hate group , were spotted in Florida’s capital city Saturday.

According to online reports, photos and video, the group was seen marching with masks over their faces along the Tallahassee Downtown Market, atop the Cascades Park bridge and later gathered outside the Old Florida Capitol.

They placed stickers that said “Nationalist Lifestyle” and “White N Radical” on light poles downtown, according to photos posted by the Leon County Democratic Party on Facebook.

“Racist hate has no place in Tallahassee,” a part representative wrote on Facebook.

Members of the group were wearing khakis, hats and white balaclavas, which cover the face except for the eyes and mouth.

“Down with white supremacy! PF out of Tally!” wrote the Tallahassee Community Action Committee in another Facebook post.

A Tallahassee Police Department watch commander and Capitol Police officer said they did not make contact with Patriot Front. Capitol Police just monitored them as they took a photo in front of the Old Capitol, the officer said.
