A scary “call to action” in white supremacist outlet The Daily Stormer has resulted in Jewish residents of Whitefish, Montana being targeted and harassed by followers of Alt-Right leader Richard Spencer. Stemming from an article in the Daily Mail in which Spencer’s mother said that the business she owns is being damaged by her son’s views, author Andrew Anglin falsely took her comments and provided his own context and perspective in order to blame Jews for the issues — even though Sherry Spencer never specified that she was being bothered by a certain group or religion.
Certain passages of the article are unfortunately pretty standard these days when it comes to anti-Semitic sentiments being made public. However, some pieces of the post are downright unsettling in the ways he calls out innocent residents of the town. He describes Jews as “vicious, evil race of hate-filled psychopaths” and not only notes which people Spencer’s supporters should target and troll but even includes photos of each person with an all-too-familiar yellow Star of David Photoshopped onto their clothing as if they were in Nazi-era Germany.
Despite Anglin’s insistence that there should be no violent action taken against the innocent people he identifies, he also includes their phone numbers, home addresses, and emails if available. This so-called plea for a “Troll Storm” has also been supported by KKK leader David Duke and is putting lives at risk all in the name of anti-Jew propaganda. Anglin purposely targets members from the anti-hate group “Love Lives Here” and even includes a child on his list. Despite insistence from the town’s mayor that the town does not stand for or support such discriminatory beliefs or practices, The Daily Stormer has continued to call for such practices towards Jewish populations.

I honestly (naively) thought anti-semitism was something we as a species had evolved beyond.
Maybe by the end of Trump term we’ll have brought back bloodlettings and witch burnings.
certain followers of his truly believe Hillary Clinton is a demon lizard clone etc and obama is too. If anyone is the antichrist it’s trump. He fits the description eerily.
Thank you.
We better bring back witch burnings! That shit is the only way to get rid of witches! And if you don’t get rid of the witches then the rape demons pop up everywhere. Do you want rape demons? BECAUSE THIS IS HOW YOU GET RAPE DEMONS
Minorities scatter, LGBTQ run and hide, Jews.. Trump needs Jews.
Jews get a pass.

There are Jews in Montana? That’s awful. I wouldn’t wish Montana on anyone.
Small enough in number that they can be rather easily individually identified and targeted for harassment and with the added benefit of being surrounding by a great deal of white supremacist extremists. I’m not a gun nut by any means, but if I were black/Hispanic/Jewish/Muslims/LGBTQ and living in a state like Montana or Wyoming or Idaho, I’d be looking to buy an AR-15 and a handgun and some high-capacity magazines. If history has shown one thing, it’s that it’s generally not a good idea for hated minority groups to entrust their safety to the good will of an emboldened group of militaristic extremist white men who despise them. That scenario, when played out time and time and time again, tends to lead to a whole bunch of dead minorities.
Mormons in Missouri. You don’t need to be a different color to upset the majority, just have enough votes.
