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

They call it III Citadel, and they say they’ve already lined up “hundreds” of extreme-right gun lovers to join them in the walled city they’re 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 there’s 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 they’re not racists and welcome any and all comers, so long as they promise to follow the rules and they’re 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.

1. The GOP base already lives there.

2. Great Idea. If they all are in one place it will be easier to

deal with them ala Koresh.

3. Where in Idaho is this?

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.

4. Great. Once they're in there, wall it up from the outside.

Done and done.

5. I think this is a scam

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.

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

Problem solved.

7. I say...

8. When will the RNC move their HQs there? Sounds like the perfect place for them

[Aerows]

9. I'll help them pack. n/t

10. Why build FEMA camps when they'll build their own?

Thanks for saving my tax dollars, screwballs!
