Alt-right Coloradans went to war with an alpaca farm- and farm won.

“Our guy James [a pseudonym] spotted them. He hit them with a spotlight, and told them, ‘Remove yourselves, or die.’ And they ran like jackrabbits. I credit him for potentially saving our lives that night,” Penny Logue tells me. “It was a literal wake-up call.”

Where it’s safe from haters. I hate that they have to arm themselves like they do but that’s the country we live in. Fight fire with fire, as it is to just live in peace.
