Sad to say it but maybe the best way to beat them is to "befriend" one or two and get into their books. Once someone was to get to the point of being able to air their dirty laundry, or destroy the information, I can bet they will have a much harder time doing what they do. Publishing some home addresses would be another way to make sure they watch what they say. If newspapers can publish info about carry permit holders they will probably jump at publishing addresses and phone numbers for this group.
Any volunteers to join the dark side for a bit?
The only way you are getting in is if you marry one of those butt ugly people and if you want the main players addresses those were publicly posted a few years ago, these wackjobs have a well protected infrastructure it's the only way slim like that survives.
