Linkity link~ (http://www.npr.org/blogs/codeswitch/2013/09/20/224152990/this-tiny-town-is-trying-to-stop-neo-nazis-from-taking-over)
So basically, there's a town in North Dakota called Leith. Craig Cobb, a white supremacist leader, is trying to convince other assholes like him to move there so that they can basically take over the town. Naturally, this is a problem for the small-town residents, who aren't as close-minded as you might expect.
(If I remember correctly, wasn't the Gaede family trying to do something similar in a small town in Montana?)

Yeah, saw this on yahoo news this morning (word of warning: if you're going to check out the yahoo article too, avoid the comments like the plague). Reading about it a second time doesn't make me feel any less disgusted with the whole situation. You'd think that in this day and age that nobody would see any need to be racist, but I suppose that's too much to hope for in this world.

Nailing the doors and windows shut and burning down his house with him in it would be a pretty damn good deterrent for those that wish to follow him.
The scary part is that they sound like they are so small and so far off the beaten path they could actually get away with it if the whole town just kept their mouths shut.

Seems reasonable.
I mean, burning people alive for unpopular views is totally not a Nazi thing to do.

Yeaaaaaaah, as much as I hate Neo-Nazis, and racist pricks in general, even I find that a little -too- extreme...even if its a joke. I'd suggest just throwin rocks at 'em until they leave.

Not sure what to think. We have Chinatowns, Little Tokyos, etc. around, so if they want one and the residents allow it, ok then. But of course, the residents have taken issue with this, so ...

The Chinatowns etc. largely came about due to racism, and to this day tend to be low-income high-crime* areas. It was once actually illegal for Asians to live outside of their designated areas. The phenomena of immigrants forming communities in their new country also continues to play a part in modern times.
This guy is trying to forcibly change the demographics of a small town to his liking. It's not really the same thing.
*It's interesting to note that Asian-Americans are the most likely not to report a crime, even as victims, and historically Chinatowns etc. were outright ignored by law enforcement.

First they came for the neo-nazis, and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a neo-nazi...

To be fair to the Chinatowns, they tend to police their own.
Ironbite-even when they're under the thumbs of the Triads.

To that point, Ibby... this is going to be weird to say, but I rather find that fascinating. You take care of 'your' community's problems. No need to get anybody else involved.

As do I. But unfortunetly when you do that, it becomes mob rule and that's just...ug.
Ironbite-mob rule is never justice.

Trebuchets?
I've always wanted to build a boulder chucking siege engine. ;D

Trebuchets are nice. Potato guns can be fun too. Personally, I'd like Mossad to arrange some "accidents" for them.
