Go to the website yourself if you'd like to see what kind of stuff they are up to.

It seems to be down at the moment. But any amount of insults are still just insults. Illegal activity is different, but they're not claiming that's the reason, and it it was, the police should handle it.
I can understand a more "private" service like Twitter blocking cyber bullying, but domain names are part of the infrastructure. People depend on them much more.

Google and GoDaddy are private businesses. They are allowed to not do business with sites they find repugnant if they like.
The current headline on the Stormer is "Badass Cop Expresses Full Support for Running Over Fatties Charlottesville-Style" by the way. If I was running the domain registrar I'd have little enthusiasm for Nazi enthusiasts encouraging murder either.
