Hey Fox,

IS this Richard Butler and his group?

If it is, then he just came from my back yard. Butler had a compound near Hayden Lake, Idaho, about 15 miles from my house. Some of his goons got into a bit of trouble about a year and a half ago. Apparantly a passing-by motorist's car backfired, and Butlers henchman chased after the car, and fired shots into it. Luckily, nobody was physically hurt. It went to court and the goons went to prison. Then they brought charges against Butler, and had the stupider of the two goons testify against Butler. In fact he did such a good job testifying to the greatness of their leader Butler, that a jury awarded the plaintiff a judgement that bankrupted Butler. In essence they got his land and everything on it. The local firemen used the buildings for practice, and the land will probably be sold to North Idaho College for a song.

So if it is Butler, sorry for kicking our problem child out, only to have him arrive on your doorstep.
