City embarrassed on national news because its citizens are exhibiting local behavioral norms and are being openly racist during a high profile sportsball tournament.
Passes limited ordinance that adds a staggeringly powerful /s misdemeanor charge to crimes with hateful intent.
That oughtta take care of it! Mission accomplished!

For those jus tuning in, it has been the home to the Ayrian Nation for decades.

That would be neighboring Hayden, ID. The Aryan Nations compound was burned down for fire fighter practice a couple decades ago. That pretty much killed the Aryan Nations as an organization. The members never moved though and they spawned kids they instilled their hateful values in.

It's one of the larger municipalities in Idaho, a state which has a very recent history of white supremacist groups getting very little pushback.
