Did you guys know that the American/ German Bund and other nazis were the target of Jewish brawlers organized and financed by gangsters like Meyer Lansky? They would interrupt meetings, throw stink bombs, and split scalps.

They kept it up until the American nazis suddenly lost all popular support at the end of 1941 for some reason.

Yep, I think your right. A nazi and the zodiac killer, makes ya wonder if he was Jack the Ripper as well.

A gathering of the types of people Americans' forefathers were rightly lauded by their government as heroes for killing.
