Thank you for being there.

JDC & Odin?! CCCC?

CCCC? Cosmic Coincidence Control Center (The infamous noise band from Japan)? The Canadian Council of Christian Charities? The Congregational Christian Churchs in Canada?

I'd go with the first as Performance Art is the only way I can see any Neo-Nazi, Neo-Viking Pagans being on the same block with the JDL without a fight breaking out.

When I was doing anti-Cult work we used to ask apostates who used to scare them the most when they were in whatever cult they were in: FBI? CIA? Their parents?

Just about everyone said 'The JDL'. I suppose being part of an ethnic group/religion that has mass extermination programs run against it every few centuries can make you cranky like that. Also the only statistically significant demographic indicator for getting sucked into a multiple perpetrator, serially abusive group is 'Jewish': with 'Mormon' coming in a distant second.
