An early morning fire heavily damaged Juba Coffee House, a popular Somali restaurant on South Washington Street.

3. Hey dOnald, is it time to bring out the arm bands yet?

I forget where I heard it, I think on fox-nonsense from the bow tie boy, mr. nobody, that there was no open discrimination toward Muslims in this great country.

Honestly, these idiots have their heads shoved so firmly in the ground or up each other's ass that they would deny daytime just because the sun comes up. We are dealing with lying sack of shit idiots. How can you debate such buffoons!

Tiny North Dakota Town Braces Against Neo-Nazi Plans for All-White Community...

The tiny town of Leith in North Dakota is bracing itself for a potentially turbulent weekend. Its 24-strong population is set to be overrun by opposing busloads of neo-Nazis attempting to create a white supremacist community there and their anti-racist detractors.

Jeff Schoep, commander of the American National Socialist Movement (NSM), is preparing to travel from Detroit to Leith to hold a town-hall meeting and press conference on Sunday afternoon.

For the residents of Leith, the prospect of a weekend filled with white supremacist grandstanding is highly unwelcome. The town mayor, Ryan Schock, told the Guardian "people are very concerned. They do not want people to come to this town who have hate in them."...

7. And the creeps lost!

This is just one article that covers it:

The Southern Poverty Law Center covered the story, too.

If good people work together, we can contain these people.

8. We need to catch these arsonists(domestic terrorists) and throw the book at them.

Out of all the businesses on that street some security camera must have caught pictures of at least their car.

9. Were the owners of the restaurant by any chance refugees sponsored by a church group?

Just a reminder that there can be a lot of good people out there.
