COLLEGE PARK, Md. (AP) — The first black woman to serve as American University's student government president is seeking more than $1.5 million in court-ordered damages against a neo-Nazi website operator who orchestrated an online harassment campaign against her.

In a court filing Monday, Taylor Dumpson's attorneys asked a federal judge in Washington for a default judgment against The Daily Stormer founder Andrew Anglin and a follower accused of racially harassing Dumpson on Twitter. Dumpson sued Anglin and the internet troll last April, but neither responded. ... Dumpson seeks a total of more than $1.8 million in damages, fees and costs, including $1.5 million in punitive damages against Anglin and his company, Moonbase Holdings LLC.

Anglin didn't immediately respond to an email seeking comment on Dumpson's request. ... Anglin's website takes its name from Der Stürmer, a newspaper that published Nazi propaganda in Nazi-era Germany, and includes sections called "Jewish Problem" and "Race War." For months, the site struggled to stay online after Anglin published a post mocking the woman killed by a man who plowed his car into a crowd of counterprotesters at a white nationalist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, in August 2017.

Anglin also faces possible default judgments in two separate lawsuits filed by other targets of his online trolling campaigns, a Muslim-American radio host and a Jewish real estate agent in Montana. ... In February, attorneys for SiriusXM Radio show host Dean Obeidallah asked a federal court in Ohio to award him more than $1 million in damages for his claims that Anglin falsely accused him of terrorism. ... Anglin hasn't responded to Obeidallah's suit, but he hired attorneys to defend him against a federal lawsuit that Tanya Gersh filed against him over a "troll storm" he unleashed against her family.

3. To be honest the guy will keep doing this and will not stop until he is tried and hopefully

sentenced in a criminal court.

4. Let's just follow our formula for dealing with these reich-wing scum

by investigating, indicting and convicting!

5. Wasn't he ordered to appear in court recently ?

I seem to remember reading that his lawyer informed the court that he no longer lives in the US (So where is he ?) and that traveling to the US would endanger his life.

Some organization should make it their goal to locate him and bring him to justice.

7. Anglin claims:

" ... he hasn't been to the US since 2012. He refuses to disclose his current whereabouts, claiming he gets death threats. But he has said he took up residence in the Philippines sometime before 2010, moved to Greece in 2013 and then moved to Cambodia four days before Tanya Gersh sued him in 2017."

I also read somewhere that it's speculated he never left the US and is in hiding.

6. How do yhou get away with "not responding" to a lawsuit?

Or maybe this is poorly written and means to say he has not responded to a judgement from the lawsuits?

[PupCamo]

8. you simply don't file an answer to the suit

after a certain amount of time has passed, the court can declare a default judgment in favor of the plaintiff

quite common

9. NO BULLSHIT. I'M ALMOST POSITIVE I SAW THIS FUCKER IN A COLUMBUS OHIO ARBYS A FEW WEEKS AGO!

Hilliard, Oh. border actually. He was sitting at a table across from me with two other guys looking around like they just robbed a bank. He looked familiar but didn't put two and two togeather till about a week later when I saw his pic on DU. He has a short beard
now but other then that he looks the same. On another note, does anyone think that the Kings hawaiian fish sandwich tastes differenrt then last year?
