For the second time in 3 weeks, the owner of the Daily Stormer looses a lawsuit. In the one in June, he was ordered to pay 4.1 million , and now
14 million. I doubt any money will be gotten, but perhaps the website will be shut down

Daily Stormer Founder Should Pay ‘Troll Storm’ Victim $14 Million, Judge Says - The New York Times

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.

Damn. I hope this doesn't increase the lunatic-right on this site. They've been getting up on their hind legs too boldly lately.

Roger Stone, Julian Assange, Daily Stormer... The trifecta got hit today and well we got this seemingly made up Fox News-like smokescreen playing out on the national stage. Trump is very good at distractions, but I don't think this distraction is helping him in the slightest.
 
I think it is only right that any assets including SF be handed over to the victims if the owner of the site cannot pay.

It's much more serious that that.

This would appear to be a direct judicial attack on the 1st.

Further review may strike this ruling down.

Methinks you don't understand it.

How is a civil action by a citizen a violation of a document limiting the power of government?

"....$14 million in damages for encouraging 'an online anti-Semitic harassment and intimidation campaign' against a woman in 2016"

Free speech ends where the civil rights of another begin, some exceptions apply to public figures. I'll let you try to figure out why.

Do you mean leftists that condemn conspiracy theorists like Alex Jones, the monster that should be locked up in one of the cages that immigrants are being held in. He created a conspiracy theory that Sandy Hook was a fake and the children were actors. This caused the parents of one of the murdered children to be taunted and harassed by the fringe element on the right who believed Alex Jones. The parents of this dead little boy had to move out of state, (3 moves in all) in order to escape the threats against their lives. They finally sued his pathetic ass for defamation and won their lawsuit.

Yeah we 'leftists' don't care much for Alex Jones.

Wait a second guys.... Why did Stormfront harrass Ms Gersh? Did they pick her name out of a hat, and go from there? Genuinely curious.
 
It is interesting that Mother Spencer's response was to post all of these very cordial threats, and not lawyer up and threaten a lawsuit. I guess the SF trolls really did it this time. They jumped the gun, and now their leader is ****ting his pants somewhere running from the law. It could be so much easier if he were a decent human being.

Characterization does not necessarily = Reality

Nonsensical; indeed. One of us is in desperate need of better understanding. :)

A jew perceived to have a big mouth is a rich target for antisemitism. See George Soros.

3 main idiots:

Idiot 1 - A neo-Nazi

Idiot 2 - A blogger

Idiot 3 - A judge

Idiot 2 said mean things about Idiot 1 in her blog.

Idiot 1 asked his army of moronic minions to let Idiot 2 know she was an idiot.

Idiot 3 ruled that this was 14 million worth of idiocy.
