Far-Right Troll Better Pay Up!

Montana woman won a hefty sum of money from a white extremist.

BLACK LIVES MATTER

PROTECT BLACK WOMEN! 

END SARS NOW!

HER NAME IS BREONNA TAYLOR!

WEAR A DAMN MASK! SAVE A LIFE!

BLOGGER IS TRASH!


SiriusXM Progress host and comedian Dean Obeidallah and a Montana real estate agent are owed a hefty sum of payments from a white nationalist who runs this crapshow website.


Obeidallah, a progressive agitator and civil rights activist who is Muslim successfully sued this white nationalist for $4.13 million in damages. The white nationalist claimed that Obeidallah was involved in the bombing at an Ariana Grande concert. The terrorist blew himself up during a Grande performance in Manchester, England killing 22 and himself. 


Taylor Dumpson, a former student at American University successfully sued the white nationalist for slander. She said that she was elected as the student president of the university. The white nationalist led an online campaign to attack her character and she was subjected to racial slurs, sexist remarks and threats of violence. She ended up getting nearly $1.3 million in damages.


Dean Obeidallah sued the white extremist after he slander him online.

I refuse to mention this troll and the website. The feds haven’t seized it yet. However, they will be in the process of doing it soon.


Tanya Gersh was a victim of a troll storm when this troll pushed a campaign of relentless harassment and death threats. She owned a property in Whitefish, Montana and it was renting it out when a white nationalist wanted to set up shop there. A protest led to the white nationalist to withdraw his bid to own it. So this troll decided to post on his website the name, address and personal information of this woman to create a campaign of anti-semitic and relentless smearing of her.


The federal courts said enough is enough. Free speech had a limit and this campaign caused harm. She will be rewarded $14 million in punitive damages.


The U.S. District Court in Missoula, Montana ruled that the troll and the website failed to contest the plaintiff’s concerns and failed to show up to deny it played a role in the “troll storm.”


In an opinion by U.S. District Judge Dana L. Christensen, the magistrate judge, Jeremiah C. Lynch,recommended a default judgement against the troll, who failed to appear for a deposition in April.


But Lynch went further than finding for Gersh on procedural grounds: He recommended that Christensen order the troll to pay $4,043,438 in compensatory damages and $10 million, the maximum under state law, in punitive damages for “the particularly egregious and reprehensible nature of [the defendant’s] conduct.”


The Southern Poverty Law Center based in Montgomery, Alabama has been very aggressive going after this troll and other entities. 


White extremist's whereabouts are unknown. The white extremist lived in Columbus, Ohio.

Gersh sued the troll under Montana’s Anti-Intimidation Act in April 2017, saying she and her family were subjected to hundreds of threatening and anti-Semitic hate messages.


The troll refused to appear in April. The troll claims he doesn’t live in the country. Private investigators and the U.S. Marshals are searching Columbus, Ohio for him. 


His attorneys withdrew. The website is frequently losing web hosts and he’s apparently broke.


The other entities have lost their webmasters and are being sued by civil rights groups. 


In the wake of the George Floyd killing, the pressure is on for inclusiveness. The websites that I will not mention have “-mania” in it. They are being sued by the Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Under Law in federal court. They are suing to have the websites shut down. 


The websites are a festering ground for white extremism and domestic terrorism. 


When I was still doing YouTube, I became a target of “-mania.” I was relentlessly harassed, online shamed, personally defamed and had pictures of me photoshopped on offensive caricatures. 


The feds could seize this website if the troll fails to pay his victims.

If they manage to sue the website and force its closure, it will not stop it. I will find some way to fester in the cesspool.


Tanya Gersh, Taylor Dumpson and Dean Obeidallah fought against the slander, the hate and vitriol of the internet. 


They won.


Hopefully they will take this website and its troll founder down.
