The idea of suing a website might seem abhorrent to advocates of free speech on the internet, but maybe one case shows that it can be justified?

Whitefish Woman's Lawsuit Over 'Daily Stormer' Harassment Proceeding

The Missoulian is reporting [archive] that a Whitefish woman's lawsuit against a Nazi website is going forward.

Montana Public Radio reports that Andrew Anglin, publisher of The Daily Stormer, is being sued by an individual the website targeted because of the mother of Richard Spencer:

The Daily Stormer called for readers to harass her and her family over her dealings with the mother of white nationalist Richard Spencer.

Northwestern Montana, however, has had some experience in dealing with neo-Nazis in the neighborhood.

    There are maybe 10 Jews in the state of Montana,

    Try 1,450 [jewishvirtuallibrary.org]. All the Nazis, however, are out-of-staters, Californicators, most likely.

    So, 0.1% of the population of montana. I stand by "not numerous." I'd also opine the dramatic growth from 10 is mostly Californicators, too.

    The 2010 census lists 4K black people, and 65K native americans. So, yeah, jews are unicorns (or hippogriffs, if you prefer) relative to the incidence of other groups in the state.

      Out-of-stater, eh? You do know that the unofficial motto of Montana is "Gut shoot 'em at the border", and they are not talking about the Mexican border. But then, you have made it obvious you do not live in Big Sky Country.
