Summary: Son occasionally uses moms property to spew hate. Mom publicly states she doesn't support his views but she hasn't kicked him out. Mom becomes hated.

white power salutes.

He advocates a "peaceful ethnic cleansing" and the motherfucker has an office in Whitefish Montana. It isn't just owned by his mama. She took taxpayer grant money to develop that building in a historic district and made sure her little Nazi got some of that gravy as a "contractor."

I hope she goes BROKE and moves the fuck out of my state.

As long as she keeps allowing him to use her property as his office, she has no one to blame but herself!!!

she is enabling this and in so doing harming the community. No way would I ever allow my son to run something like that from my property, although it's likely that her problem escalated tremendously over the Trump campaign and is not going to just go away. Thank goodness we never had to face her bitter and perhaps permanent choices.

By allowing him to use her business building as the address for his racist terrorist organization, she is, de facto, demonstrating her agreement with him and his abhorrent inhumane views. The hell with her and her goddamn business and may she continue to bleed money and be ostracized. Same with her goddamn son. Enough "tolerance" for these fuckers and their ilk.

but then she shouldn't allow him to use her residence as an office either. I understand loving one's son. But you wouldn't let your son deal drugs out of your house, would you? Why allow him to deal hate? I'd urge her to sever the business ties with her son and keep the relationship entirely familiar. Unless she supports his mission, then she should have the courage to say so.

If she is being shunned - GOOD. She took taxpayer grants to develop that building and made sure that HE collected some of that gravy as a "contractor" all while preparing and helping him feather that little hate nest.

Screw her and her soft-handed little Nazi.



All this reminds me - I'm going to look into joining and volunteering for "Love Lives Here" this week. They're a group in the valley fighting back against white nationalism and hate; and as one could expect, they've earned the attention of some of the most deplorable deplorables, like Storm Front.

For those of you who may have a few charity bucks and you're looking for real, grass-roots resistance to support - may I suggest you throw "Love Lives Here" a few dollars here?

She allows her son to use the address of her home as an office for NPI. If she is truly against what NPI stands for, she wouldn't allow his shenanigans.

"Sherry Spencer blames a local human rights organization for forcing her to consider selling her downtown property."

She blames the civil rights group but NOT her son???? Nah man. Guilty!

Isn't that the way the maketplace works?

Looks to me like she could change her decision and change her business problems, but I think she knows that.

There are lots of businesses that I refuse to go to based on their associations or business practices.

with him. He got in on the $$ by working as a "contractor" for mommy and then set up his Nazi office to promote "peaceful ethnic cleansing" from the Whitefish historic district.

Then she can speak to her son about this despicable Nazi Live Action Roleplay existence he's currently engaged in.
