Mullet said he would like to attend the town hall meetings on Friday, but he can’t get day off work. The 39-year-old resident of Athol, Idaho, said he is in the construction business. Mullet said he was originally a Ku Klux Klan member, starting in 1995. He declared himself the national leader of the Aryan Nations last April, because, he said, he is in the forefront, making “the mission” come alive. The community’s determination to keep him out of John Day, he said, has strengthened his resolve. “They want to mess with me, they mess with the wrong bird,” he said. “I have way too much stuff to file lawsuits against John Day for discrimination on political beliefs, and I have an attorney looking into this now”/Lauren Dake, Bend Bulletin.
