Patriot Front members buried over lawsuit complaint they lost their jobs after their identities...

The editors of the Idaho Statesman have very little sympathy for several members of the Patriot Front who are suing because someone infiltrated their ranks and then exposed their names, leading them to losing their jobs and being shunned by their families.

As the editors wrote, the five who are suing are experiencing the consequences of their actions that they know are so reprehensible that they choose to wear masks when they appear in public.

At the center of the lawsuit filed against Alan Capito, 37, also known as Vyacheslav Arkhangelskiy, is a claim that "Plaintiffs, by this complaint, seek redress for the particular and severe harms Defendant Capito has inflicted on them. At a deeper level, this complaint seeks to vindicate the rule of law and basic principles of free expression for persons who espouse unpopular opinions."

According to the editors, the complainants should have the courage of their convictions and not hide their identities.
