A FEDERAL MAGISTRATE JUDGE IS
ORDERING THE PUBLISHER OF A
MAJOR NEO-NAZI WEBSITE TO PAY A
WHITEFISH WOMAN MORE THAN
14-MILLION DOLLARS IN DAMAGES
FOLLOWING THREATS MADE ON THE
"DAILY STORMER" PAGE TWO YEARS
AGO
TAYNA GERSH FILED THE FEDERAL
LAWSUIT IN APRIL 2017, CLAIMING
ANDREW ANGLIN HAD USED HIS SITE
TO LAUNCH A "TROLL STORM"
AGAINST HER
THE ONLINE OFFENSIVE CAME AFTER
THE WHITEFISH COMMUNITY BECAME
EMBROILED IN A DEBATE OVER THE
WHITE SUPREMACIST MOVEMENT. SHE
SAID HER FAMILY HAD RECEIVED
MORE THAN 7-HUNDRED THREATS FROM
ANGLIN AND HIS FOLLOWERS,
THREATS WHICH HAVE CONTINUED
EVER SINCE.
LAST WEEK, GERSH’S ATTORNEYS
PRESSED FOR A DEFAULT JUDGEMENT
IN THE CASE, AFTER ANGLIN
REFUSED TO RESPOND TO THE
COURT’S ORDERS.
TODAY, FEDERAL MAGISTRATE JUDGE
JEREMIAH LYNCH RULED IN FAVOR OF
GERSH, SAYING ANGLIN MUST PAY
14-MILLION DOLLARS FOR GERSH’S
LOST WAGES, DAMAGES, PAIN AND
SUFFERING, WITH 2-MILLION OF THE
AWARD FOR "FUTURE PAIN AND
SUFFERING".
THE SOUTHERN POVERTY LAW CENTER
SAYS THE RULING SHOWS "THIS TYPE
OF CONDUCT IS INTOLERABLE IN A
CIVIL SOCIETY."
