Alt-right Plans Armed March Through Montana Town To Scare Jews

Source: Vocativ

Neo-Nazis plan to march through Whitefish, Montana with high-powered rifles to intimidate Jewish businesses

By James King
Dec 23, 2016 at 2:18 PM ET

The latest tantrum by the “alt-right’s” neo-Nazi Internet trolls is playing out in a small town in Montana, where a leading voice in the movement now claims he will hold an armed march through the town to intimidate its “Jew racketeers.”

The situation in Whitefish, Montana has garnered national headlines over the last few weeks. The mother of Richard Spencer, the de facto leader of the “alt-right,” owns a property in town, but community members have been pressuring her to sell, because of her son’s activities. Now, trolls from the “alt-right” are going after the community, led by Andrew Anglin, the publisher of the Daily Stormer blog — the self-declared “number one alt-right” website in the world — who spearheaded and helped organize the harassment of the people he believes are threatening Spencer’s mother. Up until now, the intimidation tactics have lived largely in cyber-space, but on Thursday, Anglin called for the next phase of “Operation Whitefish,” and extended his call to “take action.”

“For the next phase of our plan…we are planning an armed protest in Whitefish,” Anglin wrote in a blog post published Thursday. “Montana has extremely liberal open carry laws, so my lawyer is telling me we can easily march through the center of the town carrying high-powered rifles.

“I myself am planning on being there to lead the protest,” he continued.

As long as the neo-Nazi white nationalists are peaceably assembling, they are exercising a right assured to them by the First Amendment.

What has no protection at all is beating people up.

Vocativ needs to get with the program and stop referring to the neo-Nazis by the polite term "alt-right." They're Nazis.

Do you think anyone in Trump's DOJ will give a damn if several Jews are intimidated or smacked around in this little Montana town?

These alt-righters are bullies and the only way to stop a bullies is to pre-emptively beat their asses first...

It's overly polite, rational, fair-minded, people like you that wound up in dissident camps and ovens across Europe during WWII...

Either that or they looked the other way for years and have spent the last 7 decades feeling guilty because didn't do more to put a stop to those people when they could...

He hasn't worn a uniform since he was in the Cub Scouts.

I've been invited to a family dinner on Christmas Day with him and our white supremacist aunt.

I hope I come down with dysentery first.

If you look it up, you will see that I have been reporting on Richard Spencer and his National Policy Institute at DU since last summer. I might have the earliest coverage here.

These Nazis (not "alt-right," which makes it sound like Pepsi vs. Coke) have been operating under the cover of darkness far too long. They could use a little sunlight.

Montana governor cancels visit to town bombarded by white supremacist threats

Brad Reed
23 Dec 2016 at 15:51 ET

Democratic Montana Gov. Steve Bullock has cancelled his plans to visit the town of Whitefish, which has been getting bombarded by threats from white supremacists.

The Whitefish Pilot reports that Bullock had been scheduled to give a press conference in Whitefish to address “the online harassment of Whitefish businesses and Jewish families have been receiving from neo-Nazi followers of part-time Whitefish resident and white nationalist leader Richard Spencer.”

White supremacist website The Daily Stormer this month told its readers to launch a harassment campaign against people in Whitefish to protest the alleged mistreatment of Spencer’s mother, who has said that her infamous son’s reputation has all but ruined her business.

Bullock’s staff wouldn’t say whether the governor cancelled his planned event due to security concerns and only gave the Whitefish Pilot a vague statement about the cancellation just being “the way things unfolded.”

I may be completely secular/non-religious, but I have the tainted Jew blood running in my veins, and I'm CERTAIN they would find it offensive.

Along the same line, I watched the short film, , about Trump. . . If anybody else saw it, you'll remember at the end when Mr. Pink-Faced White Man with the HUGE fat, bouncing belly and the poor English with the unfortunate accent said that
"Jews are filthy people". . . . Ya know? I really, really, really resent that. The only time I'm dirty is when I don't bathe, and I fucking bathe every day. I have no use for some backwoods, redneck, uneducated, swine telling me ANYTHING.

My grandfather's mother and sister were killed in WW2 by the Germans after they had their citizenship revoked and had their belongings stolen. As my great grandmother was an old lady, and my grand aunt was mentally handicapped, they had NO chance with those goddamned Nazis. I am not going to sit around on my ass and not say a goddamned word when these lousy, lazy, redneck fucking IDIOTS start spewing their SHIT.

They better think twice before trying anything on me or on mine, as I will make them pay dearly. I have NO use--NONE at ALL for ANY fucking RePIG.

This infuriates me!!
