Concern is growing in Odessa over an under-21 club that has not yet opened.
KMBC's Dan Weinbaum reported that the person who is opening the club is believed to be the former leader of the Neo-Nazi group, the Aryan Nation.

And it was older white and probably conservative men
that showed up at the meeting to denounce the man.
Ironically, this group was left out of 0bama’s speech on “reaching out”.
Odessa where?? Texas?
Not a Kansas fan, I see.
Missouri. I write for the TX paper, so I was going to say...first I heard of this...lol.
Actually I like KU. Several cousins went there and I’ve had many a good time in Lawrence. I spent much of my youth on my Grand parents farm in Vernon County Missouri not more than five miles from the border with Kansas. ( folk down there call it a border rather than state line) and to call someone a Jayhawk or redleg along with a colorful curse word was to invite a punch in the nose. Families that lived through the hell of the borderwar haven’t forgotten the murder and thievery of those days. At least Missouri didn’t name their teams after bushwackers.
Party like it's 1939!

I am unaware of the incidents to which you speak. I just know they are called the Jayhawks. And they play basketball.
I'm sure ID's will be required. "Sorry sir, we can't let you in. You're too old...."
What would become the Civil War really started in Kansas and Missouri 1n 1855 with John Brown and others on both sides of the slavery issue. It was and to some extent as far as states rights still is an issue. I remember seeing signs that said ‘Welcome to Missouri. Never reconstructed’. They don’t teach history anymore but people don’t forget relatives being hung or shot and women raped by nightriders who first ask ‘who is the govenor of Missouri?’ Or if ‘your’e solid on the goose’. No matter what you answered you were in deep trouble. We had ten years and more of ‘Civil War’ here and it wasn’t really over until Jesse James was dead.
Sad much of the rest of the country has never heard of “Bleeding Kansas.”
It was all we heard about in Kansas history, but nobody else even knows about this significant pre-Civil War conflict.
” doodley-squat”
We always said ‘diddley squat’. but your right anyway.
Missouri: never reconstructed, never surrendered!
I can’t believe anyone in this thread hasn’t at least seen The Outlaw Josey Wales.
You write for the Odessa American? I was born and raised there.
Yes...
You mean it didn’t end until 1940something when jesse died? wow, that’s a long time.
