BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — A North Dakota judge sentenced a white supremacist Tuesday to four years of probation but no additional jail time for terrorizing residents of the small community of Leith, where he tried unsuccessfully to establish an all-white enclave.

Craig Cobb, 62, has been jailed since mid-November when he was arrested on seven felony terrorizing counts for scaring residents while patrolling Leith with a gun.

He moved to Leith more than two years ago, bought a house and 12 other lots, and encouraged others with similar views to join him to create a voting majority in the community of about two dozen residents. In August, he publicized his plans to fill the town with other white supremacists and take over the town government.

Judge David Reich sentenced Cobb to four years supervised probation but no additional prison time beyond the time served since November.

there's a good chance he'll accidentally shoot himself?

3. This is the real life Clayton Bigsby aka the black white supremist.

Seriously, if you're going to dedicate your life to bigotry, you really should research your own back ground first.

5. Chappelle was too real for TV. We were lucky to have him while we did

Damn but I miss his commentary though.
Too smart, too real.

Thankfully his skits will live the test of time & show that art really DOES imitate life.

P.S.: I knew it was that Cobb dude before I even clicked on the article.

9. I don't understand your post....

You seem to be agreeing with the sentence the judge gave this domestic terrorist?

If he had been black, hispanic, appeared to be gay or was a Muslim, he would have been thrown into prison with no possibility of parole.

I agree we need to go after the militia surrounding racist Bundy but this was not a just sentence.

Here's hoping for a firearm accident.

10. why do these people

get to keep their guns?
I would think that being convicted of a crime that involved a gun would mean you lose your right to have a gun. Does that make too much sense?
