In September 2012, Craig Cobb moved to Leith, North Dakota, and started buying up property. Soon he owned 12 houses in the tiny town population 24 and announced his intention to create an Aryan community.
Plans for the white supremacist town it was to have been named Cobbsville fell apart after Cobb was convicted of terrorising residents. The all-white utopia was also dealt a blow when a DNA test revealed that Cobb himself was 14% African.
With his dream of a Caucasian conurbation in tatters, Cobb faded from public view. At least until last month, when he began buying property in another tiny town: Red Cloud, Nebraska.
The prospect of Cobb moving to Red Cloud has people in the town worried. He has begun posting pictures and details of residents who have dared to criticise him on Stormfront.org, a neo-Nazi web forum whose users have been linked to a number of hate crimes.
No one in Red Cloud could be accused of overreacting. In Leith, Cobb daubed his properties with swastikas and flew separatist flags. When locals voiced their disapproval, he began patrolling the streets with a rifle.

Aren't Iranians considered Aryans? Boy will his face be red.
