A good idea for a novel

CNN is reporting the death of a neo-Nazi:
Austrian politician Joerg Haider, a champion of the far-right who drew criticism for perceived pro-Nazi comments, died in a car accident Saturday, Austrian police said. He was 58. Haider was driving alone in his official state car on the road out of Klagenfurt, in southern Austria, when the car went off the road early Saturday. Police said Haider had just passed another car when he veered off the road, hit a concrete post, and rolled over several times before coming to a stop in the middle of the road.
The woman driving the car that Haider passed called for help and rescue teams were on the scene immediately, said Johann Melischneg of the Carinthia state police. Haider suffered head and chest injuries, police said. He was taken to the hospital but was dead on arrival, Melischneg said. Police said it is too early to say what caused the accident, but that Haider appeared to have been traveling at a high rate of speed.
Haider told CNN he favored restricting immigration simply because of Austria's small size, but that he wanted to keep an open border for refugees.
It was his family background, Haider said, that kept singling him out for criticism. Haider's parents were activists in the Nazi Party long before Austrian-born Hitler annexed Austria to Germany in 1938. Haider's father, Robert, volunteered for the S.A., the notorious brown shirts who terrorized Jews and others before the war. He then served in the German army.
Rico says he won't be missed...
