Young KKK Members Conduct Trial Event in Kansas City

On Saturday, over a hundred masked individuals associated with the white supremacist Patriot Front emerged from U-Haul trucks at Kansas City’s World War I Memorial. Concealing their faces behind white masks, they brandished reversed American flags and Confederate symbols, parading through downtown while chanting “Reclaim America.” Leading this alarming display was Thomas Rousseau, the group’s founder, notably the only member without a mask. Local filmmaker Bret Hamilton interviewed a veteran nearby, who called them “cowards” for their disguise. Although the demonstration might seem absurd, it underscores the group's sinister essence—an expanding neo-Nazi faction notorious for orchestrating violent incidents and disseminating hate. Missouri ranks high in Patriot Front activity, reflecting a troubling resurgence of extremist beliefs. This situation prompts serious community concern and response actions.
