Neo-Nazi
Website's "Troll Storm" Leads to $14M Award in Damages |
|
A barrage
of hate-fueled messages from extremist fans of a popular neo-Nazi website
aimed at a Jewish real estate agent in Montana ended in a lawsuit against
Andrew Anglin, publisher of The Daily Stormer. Tanya Gersh and her family were
the victims of "vile phone calls, text messages, emails, and social media
posts, many of which contained death threats and anti-Semitic slurs" after
Anglin turned his internet community on them. This week, a federal judge
ordered Anglin to pay Gersh more than $14 million in damages because of the
targeted harassment campaign. Gersh hopes the judge's ruling has "sent a clear
message to Anglin and other extremists."

released federal data shows how drugmakers and distributors increased
shipments of opioid painkillers across the U.S. as the nationâ??s addiction

companies distributed 8.4 billion hydrocodone and oxycodone pills to
commercial pharmacies in 2006 and 12.6 billion in 2012. Thatâ??s an increase of
