White supremacist Craig Cobb, the same man who wanted to create a “whites only” town in North Dakota but found out through DNA tests that he is partially black, is now being harassed by racist graffiti and taunts from other white supremacists.
Incredible. You almost want to laugh at the fact that karma has come back around and paid Cobb a most unpleasant visit.
According to the Los Angeles Times, Cobb has become the target of racially charged graffiti, and his fellow white supremacists are suspected to be the culprit.
“The individual in question was interviewed, and when his interview answers weren’t matching up, he essentially admitted it,” Grant County Assistant State’s Atty. Todd Schwarz told the Times. “The one that tipped it off — he painted on the house, ‘BACK IN BLACK,’ and he’s not an AC/DC fan.”
The media reports that Cobb had a “falling out” with his racist friends when the news of his DNA test showed that he has 14 percent Sub-Saharan African blood flowing through his veins.
But these are the least of Cobb’s troubles. Cobb, 62, and a former white supremacist colleague, Kynan Dutton, 29, were jailed and face felony weapons charges for going on unauthorized and illegal armed patrols of their small town with a population of 12. Cobb also faces felony charges for “terrorizing” his own neighborhood.
Just before being arrested, Cobb reportedly texted the local Bismark Tribune that he went on these patrols ”because of the many violences [sic] and harassments against we and the children.”
A photo posted online showed Cobb walking through the town’s streets with another man holding a rifle, with Cobb wearing a jacket and flip-flops while holding a long gun up in the air against his hip, the L.A. Times reports. A swastika can be seen spray painted on a door in the background.
Cobb and Dutton were arrested a short while later after one resident said the men had followed her to her house and a city council member reported that the pair had lingered at the edge of his property with the weapons, the Tribune reported.
Meanwhile, the assistant state attorney lobbied for the judge to keep Cobb in jail, rationalizing the decision by calling Cobb a flight risk. The judge agreed.
“I’ve got a small community that is absolutely justified in being in fear of this man and his escalation,” Schwarz told the paper. “‘Back in black’ — there’s got to be some irony in it.”
