Neo-Nazi march postponed

A neo-Nazi march planned Monday in Whitefish has been postponed and may be rescheduled in February, a white supremacist website announced Wednesday.

The Daily Stormer had proposed an armed march on Second Street in Whitefish on Martin Luther King Jr. Day, but its application for a special event permit was deemed incomplete by the city of Whitefish earlier this week.

According to a letter sent by Whitefish City Manager Chuck Stearns to the Daily Stormer, which was posted on the website, the application for the special event failed to include a map of the parade route and did not have a certificate of insurance for the event that named the city as an additional insured. A money order for $65 sent with the application was not enough to cover the $125 application fee for large parades, Stearns said. His letter also asserted the applicant was required to complete a check list, “including, but not limited to a petition or notification of businesses and residences along the parade route that are affected by the street closure.”

Daily Stormer Publisher Andrew Anglin noted in an online post Wednesday that he will reschedule the Whitefish march, claiming it “will be bigger and have more guns and special guests than we originally planned.”

The neo-Nazi website recently led an online “troll storm” encouraging its followers to target Whitefish businesses and Jewish family members over an alleged incident involving family members of white supremacist Richard Spencer. Spencer, the self-proclaimed leader of the alt-right movement, is a part-time Whitefish resident.
