White supremacists revive dream of a homeland in America's Northwest
SPOKANE, Wash. — Three sanitation workers found it along the route of a Martin Luther King Jr. Day march: a nest of wires in a backpack.
The homemade bomb was equipped with an unusual remote-controlled trigger and stuffed with more than 100 heavy fishing weights coated in rat poison. The Spokane County bomb squad disarmed it hours before the route would have been flooded with marchers last year.
If the device had detonated and the weights had torn into the intended victims, the poison would have prevented their blood from coagulating, all but ensuring their deaths, lab analysts concluded.
The intense manhunt that ensued led authorities to a remote cabin in the pine-shrouded hills north of Spokane. In it lived Kevin W. Harpham, an Army veteran who had posted venomously for years on a white supremacist website, the Vanguard News Network.
“Those who say you can’t win a war by bombing have never tried,” he wrote. “I can’t wait till the day I snap.”
At the conclusion of a hurried, tense investigation, Harpham pleaded guilty to attempted use of a weapon of mass destruction and a hate crime and was sentenced in December to 32 years in prison.
A decade after the dissolution of the Aryan Nations compound in northern Idaho and the arrest of the Montana Freemen, white supremacists, far-right militias and radical patriots have revived their dream of a homeland in the Northwest.
In 2010, residents in several parts of Idaho woke to find Easter eggs tossed on their lawns — courtesy of the not-dead-yet Aryan Nations. The eggs contained jelly beans and solicitations to “take back our country and make it great, clean, decent and beautiful once again.”
In October, a federal jury convicted Spokane-area resident Wayde Kurt of firearms violations in a case prosecutors said stemmed from Kurt’s membership in the white supremacist group Vanguard Kindred.

Q&A: Rear ended and partly at fault. I've had 1 at fault accident ...
Sunday I was braking and something went wrong with my brakes and I lost temporary control of my car and swerved. I regained it and straightened my car. Before I could regain speed another car rear ended me. The cops cited me for improper lane travel for swerving but said the other driver was more at fault for not watching the road and that this was a shared fault accident.
I called my insurance who says the other driver is mostly at fault but agree with the police that it is probably a shared fault accident. The other driver’s insurance calls me to take a statement and says that their client is no fault for the accident and that my insurance company will have to take care of everything. Cars are totalled.
I had an at fault claim 1/2007 where I rear ended someone. This raised my rates although it was my first accident. I am assuming that this new claim means my policy will be cancelled and will be uninsurable. This is a nightmare. I will probably never drive again. Advice?

Deal with your own insurance if you have Collision coverage. Given the details of the loss as you describe them, your insurance company appears to have a decent subrogation claim against the other carrier. They will pay you for your damage and subrogate for what they paid out and your deductible. If they recover at least 50%, your rates may not go up. You need to discuss this with your agent.
