According to The New York Times, Andrew Anglin, whereabouts unknown, could be on the hook for a bit of cash.
The publisher of a neo-Nazi website should pay more than $14 million in damages for encouraging "an online anti-Semitic harassment and intimidation campaign" against a woman in 2016, a federal magistrate judge in Montana recommended on Monday.
In his opinion, the judge, Jeremiah Lynch, also recommended that the publisher, Andrew Anglin, be made to remove all blog posts from the website, The Daily Stormer, that encouraged readers to contact the woman, Tanya Gersh, and her family.
Within months of Mr. Anglin's call for a "troll storm" against them, Ms. Gersh and her family had received more than 700 vulgar and hateful messages, many referring to the Holocaust. They temporarily fled their home.
Mr. Anglin did not appear in court, and his location is unknown. He did not respond to an email on Monday requesting comment on the lawsuit. And it was not clear how much money if any could ever be collected from him.
Nice that Andrew has gone back to where he's from, allegedly Thailand.

One of them murdered 50 people going to church in my country, so I'd be worried if threats were made to me.

Clarification. You say "one of them". To whom are you referring when you say "them"? The so-called fascists? The so-called antifas? Or someone else?

A fascist of course. A self-declared fascist.

Self declared? As a New Zealander how could you possibly have first hand knowledge? Are you peeking at the forbidden documents? Have you opened the Ark of the Covenant? Beware of strange knocks at your door. It might be the thought police come to take you off to Room 101.

I assume you meant the Christchurch killings. How can you be sure it even happened? Word is that your government dropped the whole incident down the memory hole by force of law. We heard that they're locking up anyone who tries to discover anything about it or spreads knowledge of it. They say that the alleged shooter is now referred as He-Who-Must-Not-be-Named. Maybe it was Voldemort for all we know.
BTW, Muslims don't go to church, they go to mosque.

Not very well educated, are we?

What a fucking idiot. You know New Zealand is a small country right? As it happens a good friend of mine is an emergency nurse at Christchurch hospital, so how do you think I know it happened?
Idiot.

My post was very tongue in cheek but you are too worked up in your own self righteousness to recognize it. It was more of a slam at the idiocy of censorship overreach that NZ has pursued, but go ahead and pat yourself on the back for showing that bad ole Nazi a thing or two.
