The North Dakota town that thwarted a neo-Nazi takeover

Tom Metzger, a former Ku Klux Klan grand wizard who was given a property in Leith by Cobb, says the attempted takeover of the town has failed.

The 75-year-old, of Warsaw, Indiana, told the BBC: "Craig got carried away.

"I warned him not to bring in the Hollywood-style Nazis, or everyone would go crazy. And that's exactly what's happened."

I confess I don't get the point of going to an already-existing town in the US to take it over. Plenty of land in remote corners of the US where you can set up your fiefdom in peace- isn't that what these nutjobs usually do?

I guess the nutjob thought it was cheaper to buy up the town. A real stinker ain't

Sigma has it right. It's much easier to take over a town that's already established than start your own. I mean, what nazi wants to plan a sewer system and all that?

Rule of war mongering: It's easier to steal others works than develop your own.

It has a lot to do with the frame of reference. People like him almost never create. They destroy things. It;s easier for them to conceive of taking something from someone else to start their "brave new world".
