For those jus tuning in, it has been the home to the Ayrian Nation for decades.
That would be neighboring Hayden, ID. The Aryan Nations compound was burned down for fire fighter practice a couple decades ago. That pretty much killed the Aryan Nations as an organization. The members never moved though and they spawned kids they instilled their hateful values in.
City embarrassed on national news because its citizens are exhibiting local behavioral norms and are being openly racist during a high profile sportsball tournament.
Passes limited ordinance that adds a staggeringly powerful /s misdemeanor charge to crimes with hateful intent.
That oughtta take care of it! Mission accomplished!
As great as this is, I honestly only think this is an article because it’s a uniquely named city. Been there numerous times, it’s a shit hole town in the middle of nowhere packed full of racist bald headed junkies that has had me more concerned for my safety than anywhere else in the country. But the name is pretty! That will get us clicks!
It’s one of the larger municipalities in Idaho, a state which has a very recent history of white supremacist groups getting very little pushback.
Against whites?
