A lawsuit accusing the publisher of the neo-Nazi site Daily Stormer of coordinating a “terror campaign” of online harassment against a Jewish real estate agent cannot be dismissed on First Amendment grounds, a federal judge in Montana ruled this week.

In his ruling denying a motion to dismiss the lawsuit, Dana L. Christensen, the chief judge for United States District Court in Missoula, Mont., wrote that the real estate agent, Tanya Gersh, was a private citizen, not a public figure, and that the publisher, Andrew Anglin, incited his followers to harass her as part of a personal campaign.

The events that spurred the lawsuit began in the fall of 2016, when The Daily Stormer published a series of articles attacking Ms. Gersh, of Whitefish, Mont., for her interactions with Sherry Spencer, the mother of the white supremacist leader Richard Spencer.

Ms. Spencer owned a building in Whitefish and Ms. Gersh had talked to her about its potential sale after word circulated that residents were considering a protest there against white supremacy.

Based on the facts presented in the news article, the judge made the correct ruling.

However, should we continue ignoring The Larger Issue.

Who is primarily responsible for raising, nurturing and socializing perfectly HEALTHY American newborns maturing into apparent HATE, and in some instances VIOLENCE embracing teen and adult citizens?

​

Peace.

Nobody has a right to harass. Of course that is ignore by Antifa and BLM terrorists.

 

[Eric Arthur Blair]

So the creeps in Antifa have no right to harass and torment either then. Great!
Doxxing should be made a federal hate crime, while we are at it.

Why only neo-nazis? Everyone else can harass away. Cool.

A very weird concept. Right to harrasment?

The abusers of the First Amendment think its covered under free speech and the right to peaceably assemble.
