Hate in north Idaho being expunged with the downfall of richard butler and his neo-nazi bullies bastards.
A recent law suit made poor richard destitute causing the collapse of the aryan nations near Hayden Lake. Today some of the compound was torn down to make way for nature to reclaim it and return it to a more peaceful place.I have to laugh, I have no sympathy for this type of behavior and hey it aint on the other side of the Atlantic, it's here...

From the local news;
Norm Gissel has waited more than 20 years for this moment.
The North Idaho attorney looked on as one-by-one the buildings that once housed one of the most notorious hate groups in the United States were torn down.
An excavator, its scoop held high in the air, took the first swipe at the Aryan Nations compound, its giant scoop plunging through a giant, white and black swastika atop a commissary building, demolishing the symbol of Neo-Nazi hate in a crushing blow.
A guard shack, watchtower and the commissary were all being demolished on the compound Wednesday.
"This is another important even in a series of events of the unraveling of the headquarters of the Nazis in America," Gissel said.
Gissel helped make it happen, serving as one of the attorneys that represented a North Idaho mother and son, Victoria and Jason Keenan, in a multi-million dollar lawsuit against Aryan Nations founder Ricahrd
Butler and several of his followers. In the end, the Aryan Nations and Butler lost the suit and the compound.
Civil rights activist and Internet millionaire Greg Carr bought the property from the Keenans and plans to turn the former haven of hate into a children's camp with a focus on diversity
