I think it's "Buford". The name did seem... to fit? Apologies to any Bufords out there.

Most of these guys aren't a real threat, but the ones that are sure are deadly. When I was a kid in Arlington, VA, George Lincoln Rockwell had his American Nazi Party compound at the end of the street on which one of my good friends lived. You could see those characters "patrolling" the perimeter in their little uniforms with their guns at hand. It was sport for the local kids to try to get them to chase us away from the fence. I dunno who they thought they were protecting their "headquarters" from, maybe it was us. Sometimes a New Recruit would flag us down and ask if we knew were to find the place. A pretty sad looking bunch.

Rockwell named the place "Hatemonger Hill". Truth in advertising? After I moved out to California Rockwell and one of his lieutenants got into a power struggle, and Rockwell was shot to death in front of a business owned by the parents of one of my schoolmates.
