"The man who runs the neo-Nazi website The Daily Stormer has announced an armed march by white supremacists in an effort to harass a Montana Jewish community....
"Whitefish is home to white supremacist leader Richard Spencer, president of the National Policy Institute, a white supremacist think tank....
"The Daily Stormer, a white supremacist publication, published a blog post earlier in the month calling for followers to 'take action' against Jews in Whitefish by writing and calling them with anti-Semitic messages. The post claimed that Jewish residents were 'threatening' Spencer's mother's business in the town.
"The post included the names, phone numbers and addresses of Jewish Whitefish residents — in addition to the Twitter handle and photo of a child. The post also included photos of Jewish residents of Whitefish emblazoned with yellow stars."
Response from the Anti-Defamation League:
"....ADL has been in regular contact with the victim families, as well as relevant law enforcement authorities and other public officials. We are helping community members in their efforts to have offensive photos removed and following up with our own law enforcement contacts at the FBI and the Department of Justice. We have also offered to provide guidance on online security. Our consistent message has been that the community’s security is paramount, but it is also vitally important to fight back against the hate."
