Is there some context for this?

Glad that I am not the only one confused.

COEUR D'ALENE, Idaho — Law enforcement arrested 31 members of a white nationalist organization known as the Patriot Front near a Pride event in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, on Saturday, on a charge of conspiracy to riot. The men were packed into a U-Haul truck and detained a short distance away from the gathering, which was being held at public park.

The men, who traveled from at least 10 outside states, are expected to be arraigned Monday on the misdemeanor count.

"It is clear to us based on the gear that the individuals had with them, the stuff they had in their possession and in the U-Haul with them, along with paperwork that was seized from them, that they came to riot downtown," said Coeur d'Alene Police Chief Lee White.

Your link is from an event in 2022. Not sure if there is a newer situation with similar circumstances.

Just looked it up. They staged a march in Kansas City yesterday. U-Hauls were used as transport.

There’s also the time in 2023 when a nazi drive a u haul into the White House security barrier. Is just kind of a thing now, Nazis and Uhauls, like peanut butter and jelly 🤷‍♀️

I saw these shit heads training on a trail and they gave me a dirty look. I thought they were trying to create a better society, but it seems like they're just a bunch of snearing Bitches.

They would have put up a fight, but their magical morale-boosting tiki torches were in the other u-haul truck.
