Gab may be the Internet’s stopped-up toilet, but that doesn’t mean they want anyone bringing a plunger to them, so yeah, this happened. 

Patrick Little, a former Marine vet who devolved into a neo-Nazi propagandist and troll who is best known for a failed campaign for the U.S. Senate, has been banned by Gab, the social network outlet that has been seen as a neo-fascist site in the wake of the Pittsburgh synagogue shooting last month when it was shown that the alleged shooter corresponded regularly with other White supremacists there.

“Gab determined that Gabs posted to the @Patrick_Little account crossed the line by encouraging its followers to harass private citizens who were not the subject of any public controversy,” Gab said in a statement posted to the website. “This attempted harassment included but was not limited to offering to distribute the “dox,” or personal contact information, of the targets of the harassment.”

The statement notes that Little’s account ” contained a great deal of what could be described as outrageously offensive speech, or ‘hate speech.'” Gab, however will not ban anyone for hate speech in keeping with a position on free speech that says even hate speech is protected by the First Amendment. It was only after threats to persons and property that Gab felt the need to ban Little. “Where speech on the platform ceases to be protected by the First Amendment, as in e.g. a true threat or harassment scenario, and this is brought to our attention, Gab will not hesitate to take immediate action to enforce our Community Guidelines,” the statement read further.

Little, who has described himself as a native Maine, a Marine veteran and an IT engineer, is a neo-Nazi who gained notoriety with a run for the U.S. Senate seat currently held by Diane Feinstein after a poll showed him getting 18 percent of voters in that race, which made him the top Republican running for the seat.  Despite that, in May, Little was denied entry to the California Republican Party Convention with party officials citing his anti-Semitic views. He eventually lost that bid, but over the following months, Little participated in attention-getting stunts such as one-person marches through various towns across the country with anti-semitic placards, and producing robocalls with racist and anti-semitic themes to those who might be planning to vote in the upcoming election.

Last month, Gab came under fire after the shooting at the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh that took the lives of 11 people when it was revealed that Robert Bowers, the alleged shooter, may have announced his intentions to attack the place of worship on its platform. It was further learned that Bowers corresponded regularly with other neo-Nazis there as well, including Jeffrey Clark, Jr., who was recently arrested on weapons charges in Washington, DC after family members alerted authorities to his possible planning of a similar attack as part of a race war he and his brother Edward might have been conspiring to launch. Edward committed suicide hours after the synagogue attack.

Gab went offline briefly after several tech firms pulled their support, but was able to find another host within a week. Even before the October tragedy however, Microsoft had  threatened to pull its cloud-computing services from Gab over posts where Little said he would destroy Holocaust memorials and said Jews should be raised as “livestock.”
