Here we find Ku Klux Klan regional Grand Dragon Larry Trapp, a wheelchair-using, nearly blind diabetic who can see just enough to identify the 36-by-48-inch Nazi flag and double-life-sized picture of Adolf Hitler on his wall. Trapp obsessively cleans an arsenal of guns on his desk. He wheels his chair maniacally from the telephone on which he sends hate messages ("You will be sorry . . . Jew boy"

to stacks of KKK literature ("The KKK is Watching You, Scum," "The children of today will be forced to exterminate swarms of wild niggers . . ."

Watterson shows us Trapp's devotion to youth training as he teaches tattoo-bedecked skinheads the "discipline" to become warriors for such KKK "missions" as "Operation Gook," a November 1990 action in which Trapp's minions broke into the Indochinese Refugee Assistance Center of Nebraska and "totally wrecked, then torched" the premises. We watch Trapp as he singles out black activist Donna Polk in a virulent campaign "to horrify and humiliate," as Watterson explains, sending letters calling her a "nigger whore" and threatening harm -- vaguely at first.
Trapp's hideous brilliance lies in understanding just how much "expression of opinion" the Constitution allows, Watterson shows.

'I'd like to see you blown apart' is just suggestive of threats . . . and is constitutionally protected. It's nothing I could be prosecuted for." Despite his addiction to violence, Trapp is also portrayed here as a master at mouthing KKK's peaceful intentions. " 'We don't advocate violence,' he insisted quietly. 'We advocate going through the courts, letter-writing, trying to do everything legally.' " Trapp hardly seems like a man reaching out for help, yet that's the way Michael Weisser, newly arrived cantor at B'nai Jeshurun, a failing Reform temple, sees him after Trapp calls Weisser with his first anti-Semitic message. As Trapp's visibility in the community increases (and, unbeknownst to the Weissers, his rage escalates to the point that he issues death threats to Polk and a disabled neighbor), Weisser and his family discuss ways of countering Trapp's
