Armed white vigilantes lined Idaho streets amid ?antifa? protest fears. The leftist incursion was an online myth. - The Washington Post

So when early reports about potential violence surfaced a day later — claiming “ANTIFA agitators” were storming the state this week — scores of residents took to the streets. Armed with ­military-style assault rifles, they stood guard in places such as Coeur d’Alene, a resort town of 50,000 on a lake in northwest Idaho.
