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.

  As reported to the police, it's 84% false accusation. Most of these won't go to trial; the percentage at trial is lower but I don't know that number.

  Typical motives: to cover up an affair, to avoid being in trouble with parents, relationship failure
