White nationalists target Jews in small Montanatown

A white-supremacist call to action to “troll” Jewish people in Whitefish, Montana — home of white nationalist Richard Spencer’s mother — is gaining support on social media and putting lives in danger.

On Friday, Andrew Anglin of the Daily Stormer published an inflammatory article about Jews “targeting Richard Spencer’s mother,” Sherry Spencer, claiming that her real estate business is failing because of public backlash against her son, a white supremacist and prominent member of the National Policy Institute (NPI) who coined the term “alt-right.”

Anglin falsely claimed that Jewish people in Montana are “harassing” Sherry, attempting to extort money from her, and forcing her to sell a building she owns — all because they disagree with her son. He cites a Daily Mail article in which Sherry complains that her sons’ views are damaging her business. The article does not mention any particular religion. But Anglin called on his readers to harass Jews, describing them as a “vicious, evil race of hate-filled psychopaths” and “a people without shame.”

It reads:

“Are y’all ready for an old fashioned Troll Storm?
Because AYO – it’s that time, fam.
And as always: NO VIOLENCE OR THREATS OF VIOLENCE OR ANYTHING EVEN CLOSE TO THAT.
Just make your opinions known. Tell them you are sickened by their Jew agenda to attack and harm the mother of someone whom they disagree with.

There are 1000 people that identify as Jewish in the entire state. Roughly .1% And that is who they target for misfortune.

Most will ignore it until something really big happens. Columbine. Orlando. Or the like will have to happen first before people actually understand the realness of the threat against Jews.

Maybe a group of RKBA DUers could put their money where their mouths are, and go there to peacefully open carry in support of the people being targeted for harrassment.

I might even begin shifting my position on gun control.

This is exactly the kind of scenario that anti-Trump people will need to focus their activism on over the next 4 years.
