7,000 Gun-Loving "Patriots" Living in an Walled Citadel Built Around an Arms Factory in Idaho -- What Could Possibly Go Wrong?By Bill Morlin at AlterNet

"SNIP.............................
They call it III Citadel, and they say theyve already lined up hundreds of extreme-right gun lovers to join them in the walled city theyre planning for a lonely tract in northern Idaho. The end game, they say, is an ideologically pure settlement of 7,000 Patriots built around a huge arms factory.
But theres no sign that the latest fantastic plans from antigovernment extremists will ever come to much. Dave Resser, the sheriff of sparsely populated Benewah County, calls the whole thing a scam.
They say theyre not racists and welcome any and all comers, so long as they promise to follow the rules and theyre devoted and well-armed defenders of the Constitution liberals, Marxists and blue voters need not apply.
But in practically the same breath, the man who with others recently purchased the land enthusiastically described how Latinos and Muslims will be purged and culled by fed-up Americans in the not-so distant future.

OP
That's my attitude too. Wait until they're all inside, then padlock it from the outside.

deal with them ala Koresh.

I used to live in Boise and also lived 8 miles from Moscow, Idaho and spent a lot of time in that panhandle, there are some real crazies up there. Remember Richard Butler and Mark Furman that's where they used to hang out.

Done and done.

They ask for like $1400 to submit an "application" and nothing has ever been built yet. Oh well, fools and their money and all of that.
Personally, they'd be doing us all a favor if all the nutjobs walled themselves in. I'll lock the door for them from the outside.

Thanks for saving my tax dollars, screwballs!
