It's also worthwhile pointing out that if you're a neo-nazi group,
looking for opportunities for a good fight with your opposite numbers
from another country[1], the mostly young, unaccompanied male

small geographical area provides a handy cover story.
How much of a travelling support do the Dallas Cowboys get, anyway?
