I once went to a small town at the Ohio/Michigan border. I didn't know it was mostly populated by Neo-Nazis. I was meeting with guys who were teaching me how to do mineral prospecting for a few hours on weekends.
They had a creek that the mineral association rented. So people can practice their hobby and learning as well.
Then a middle-aged white woman came up to me and talked to me a little bit. I was curious what she was getting at. She then asked if I know the history of the town. I've told her no, I am not gonna be here long. After I learned those machinery and other skills I could master, I would be outta here.
She told me make sure I bring friends with me, I bring a licensed gun if I have concealed carry permit, and I need to watch my back.
I asked her what she was alluding to. That is when she told me there are many Neo-Nazis in this town. She told me "don't look at those men now, but when you gotta chance, look at their faces". I swear I saw Zwastiska on the faces of one of them. They were prospecting gold at a nearby spot on the creek. I didn't wait. I took off and never went back.
The guys who were training me were charging me, but I told them I can't take the risk in that town.
Reality is, when you get out of the big cities in America, Neo-Nazis, KKKs, and other white nationalist and white separatist groups are found in rural towns. And they're armed, well-trained, and dangerous. Rural America really provides them a perfect hideout.
But if you compare all groups, the Neo-Nazi groups are the worst. A KKK guy may not bother you as long as you don't mess with his women and you keep your distance. But for a Neo-Nazi guy, he would take you out if he had an opportunity. That is how bad this group of people are.
