Taylor Dumpson Empties That White Extremist Troll's Bank Account!

American woman sues white extremists and won.
A warning to white extremists who use photos of individuals without permission. You could be sued if an image of person is depicted in libel. There are websites that use pictures of individuals without their permission. If you're not a public official or entertainer, you can legally sue the person who took your images without your permission.

It's a slippery slope to how to handle libel and slander lawsuits. You have to argue that the individual's actions made the victim lose their job, caused mental distress and forced hiding from public ridicule in order to succeed in a federal case against that set individual or website.

A woman of color is getting nearly $1 million in punitive damages after she successfully sued a white extremist who created a blog that slandered her. I will not mention that blog or the other websites associated with white extremism.

Taylor Dumpson was the first Black woman to serve as American University's student government president won her lawsuit against that white extremist and his website.

Dumpson who served as the university's student body president in 2017 was award $725,000 in the case, document show.

The founder of that white extremist website who has ties to Columbus, Ohio and his lawyers were not present and the federal case went into default. The white extremist and one of his devoted readers targeted Dumpson in a relentless internet harassment campaign.

Several bananas with racist messages were found hanging from nooses the day Dumpson took office.

Authorities investigated the incident and couldn't identify the white terrorist responsible for it.

The white extremist posted an article about the incident on his website. It linked Dumpson's social media page the American University's Twitter page. Soon the troll army came to dump on the young woman and the university.

Dumpson's attorneys asked a federal judge to default the defendant and his follower.
White extremist is broke. He won't be able to pay the federal damages. However he may be forced to shut down his website.
The white extremists never showed up to court.

"The ruling should send a strong message to other white supremacists that they can and will be held accountable for hateful activity that constitutes unlawful discrimination, no matter whether it occurs online or in the real world," said Kristen Clarke, the president and executive director of the Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights Under Law. That was the agency that represented Dumpson in this case.

So far, that white extremist had suffered setbacks. His website is struggling to find a permanent home. The white extremist was forced to pay progressive agitator and comedian Dean Obeidallah for $4.5 million in a federal decision similar to Dumpson.

The most notable controversial is Tanya Gersh. She successfully sued this white extremist after she was a victim of a relentless troll campaign. She allegedly denied Richard Spencer a place and that white extremist was upset. So he posted her phone number, social media and places she owns as a way to have his army of trolls bully her.

Gersh was rewarded $15 million in damages.

The troll has ties to Columbus, Ohio. There are spotters who are looking to find him. He claims he moved to Nigeria to live among the trees. Many see this white extremist as a 5'5" heavily built redish hair man who travels around Reynoldsburg and Kirkersville, two suburban Columbus communities.
