> [@Tinkertoy](#): > > Don’t send them back to Idaho , it took way to long to get them out the first time. I think we should send them to the part of Utah with the polygamists. Then fence the whole damn section off to contain the contamination God no, the last thing they need is a breeding compound. ---

Personally, I’d want to stay Aryan-Nation-free AND United-Nations-free. Put the two in the same locale & let 'em wipe out each other! ---

Apparently, Aryan Nation was sued in Idaho and lost in court to an Indian woman and her family who were shot at by them. In addition to the million $$ plus award, the woman won the exclusive rights to the name “Aryan Nation”, which means she can sue them again for continuing to use it. Here’s hoping. Today’s paper quoted their glorious leader as saying that he is an “equal opportunity hater: I hate everyone”, which makes me think perhaps my brother-in-law has been leading a double life. If it’s any consolation to this fucktard, I’m sure everyone hates him right back. ---

Weird. What I don’t get is, that even if their conspiracy theory was true that the UN is somehow a evil global movement… why would it be stopped by something as trivial as a county law? I mean, if teh evil joows and furriners are going to setup a global hegemony, why would they respect the laws of a fly speck backwater? ---

Oregon is a good place for them. You can’t even pump your own gas in Oregon. This will slow them down from spreading. Seriously, have you ever tried to get across Oregon? 10 minutes to fill your car? I’d be 20 miles down the road by now, you fucking rube! Move your ass! ---

But what if they get superpowers from the gamma rays? I think a fusion reactor would be safer than a fission reactor for this. I say we throw them into the Sun. Yes, it would be expensive, but wouldn’t it be worth it? ---

I believe this “Pacific Northwest as White Nationalist homeland” idea goes back at least to the 1980s. Nothing has ever come of it.
