NEO-NAZI ORDERED TO PAY A JEWISH WOMAN $14 MILLION IN DAMAGES FOR A 'TROLL STORM'

https://www.newsweek.com/neo-nazi-ordered-pay-jewish-woman-14-million-damages-troll-storm-1453416
On Thursday, a federal judge ruled Andrew Anglin, founder and editor of the neo-Nazi website The Daily Stormer, must pay a Jewish woman $14 million in damages for a coordinated campaign of harassment he organized.

Tanya Gersh, a real estate agent in Whitefish, Montana, sued Anglin in 2017 about a year after Anglin posted her personal information on his website, urging people to harass her.

According to the lawsuit filed by the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), Gersh and Sherry Spencer live in the same town, where Spencer owns property. Spencer is the mother of white supremacist Richard Spencer.

Spencer received local criticism after a video of her son giving Nazi salutes at a white nationalist gathering went viral. In the video, Richard Spencer said, "Hail Trump! Hail our people! Hail victory!"

El Paso was a total mindfuck for me. The event was horrific. The response by the president does not help, not in the slightest.

He sure is well travelled. Funny how he's a serial undesirable foreign emigree, and keeps inflicting non-white nations with his presence. Where's his 'white pride'?

He has a lot of money, to be able to get around like an international jet setter, too.

I saw some backstory about him being a liberal vegan, who lurved bircher Jones and Hunter S. Thompson. He looks like a dirtbag.

Accidentally got his name on the website and filed the incorporating documents. Borrowed $60 k for a 'real-estate rehab' project he had going in Columbus. Told his son he was 'very disappointed'.

I see his weasel son was in Russia and Thailand, too.

They'll go after group and private property in settlement.

Here's another that's just been filed, but there are many similar. https://www.apnews.com/286179b536894dd1b7c8537344e61976

And it's not just violent RWers who are having their lives radically altered by being required to pay for their crimes. I was just talking with a couple of guys who are romanticizing "antifa-type" LW violence and passionately believe it's needed instead of part of the same problem. This isn't some bombed-out post-apocalyptic world where order has collapsed. Citizens and authorities take a really dim view of violence in the streets, period.

We donate to the SPLC, and a quick search on this showed they're all over it everywhere these days. With all that's happening, no doubt they need donations.

A Black Woman Was Awarded $725,000 In a Lawsuit Against A Neo-Nazi Who Led a Harassment Campaign Against Her

A federal judge ruled Andrew Anglin, founder of the neo-Nazi website The Daily Stormer, and one of his followers must pay over $725,000 to a victim of one of the site's "troll storms."

[ ... ]

Friday, the judge agreed and found Anglin, Ade and Moonbase Holdings owed Dumpson compensatory damages of $101,429.28, punitive damages of $500,000 and attorney's fees and costs of $124,022.10. The judge also granted a restraining order against the defendants and banned Anglin and The Daily Stormer from publishing anything more about Dumpson.

This is the second judgement against Anglin this week. Thursday, a federal judge in Montana ordered Anglin to pay $14 million to Tanya Gersh, the target of another Daily Stormer troll storm. Anglin neglected to contest that lawsuit as well.
