Neo-Nazi group and its leaders charged with civil rights violations in NH
WGBH ^ | January 18, 2023 | Phillip Martin

Posted on 01/22/2023 8:27:46 AM PST by BenLurkin

Named in the complaint is Christopher Hood, whose last known address was Pepperell, Massachusetts, and Leo Anthony Cullinan of Manchester, New Hampshire. Hood founded NSC-131 New England and is regional organizer of the virulently racist "White Lives Matter" national movement. Cullinan is the regional leader for New Hampshire and recruiter for NSC-131 New England.

The civil rights complaints against them and the organization stem from an incident on July 30, 2022, where Hood and other members of NSC-131 are alleged to have hung a "Keep New England white" banner from an overpass overlooking U.S. Route 1 in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, without permission. Under state law, certain unlawful acts motivated by race are considered violations of the Civil Rights Act.

"So hanging that banner without permission was a trespass,” said Formella. “What was written on the banner makes it pretty clear that that trespass was motivated by race. And so that was a violation of our Civil Rights Act.”

NSC-131 regularly plasters racist, anti-Semitic and homophobic posters on public and private buildings and hangs banners from overpasses throughout New England, but New Hampshire is believed to be the first to take state-level legal action against the group.

The charges against Hood and fellow neo-Nazis raises questions about First Amendment protections. But Formella, a conservative Republican who is viewed as a free speech advocate, said NSC-131’s actions are not constitutionally protected.

“What the First Amendment doesn't protect is the ability to engage in unlawful acts,” he said.

Do they call themselves Neo-Nazis? The left calls everyone who disagrees with them Nazis.

And besides “Amish” and “People Who Annoy You” is more about behavior than race. Even Chris Rock did a routine about this.

This I do know. Once racists are given free reign to spew their bilge, it isn’t long before the jew haters turn up.

I'm old enough to remember when even liberals used to say, "Let's not ban our enemies. Let's defeat them in the free marketplace of ideas."

But today, even some conservatives want to ban "hate speech."

The Left is dominated by those turned over to depraved minds, blind guides.

The blind followers are being led to spiritual destruction.

For over a year the cops just stood around and watched BLM and Antifa burn cities, attack the innocent, assault and kill people and the media and government were good to go with all of it!

NH, VT and ME are all 90% or more Caucasian.
They are the most white states by percentage in the country.

Actually, not true, they love using "Fascist", and why? "Nazi" is short for "National Socialist", so it's an admission they are fellow socialists. There were a lot of differences between Nazism and the brand of Fascism of Mussolini. But that doesn't matter to the Left, they basically lumped all their enemies under one term.

Projection:

especially : the externalization of blame, guilt, or responsibility as a defense against anxiety

The feds settled many Somalis in Maine, bringing crime with them.

Fortunately, Portland, Maine has a Somali Muslim mayor, and we know that black mayors have an excellent track record in running cities.

“Neo nazis” is the term the RATS and the fake news media use to describe anyone on the right side conservative view point.

Absolute and total violation of basic free speech and First Amendment protections. This sort of fascist state action should result not only in the release of the accused but frankly, the state government should be arrested en masse and elections held immediately.

The grimly funny thing is - fascism IS a form of socialism. A fascist is a Nazi is a socialist is a Communist for all practical purposes - the intellectual distinctions between them are far less important than the fact that they are violent, anti capitalist anti freedom politics-terror movements.

Mussolini was a Communist, who just rejected the Internationalism.

The actual fascist emerges from the socialist too, for like the later Cultural Marxist they changed course in hopes of achieving some of socialism’s goals.

Calling them the far right, as if you might find classic American liberalism somewhere between fascism and socialism, is a fetid lie and abuse of facts employed by socialists. It is but an artifact of where people sat in certain legislatures.

The fascists and socialist hated each other because they were so much alike.

To the socialists the fascists were apostate to the movement.

To the fascist the socialist were fools for still believing in Marx’s fairy stories even though they shared goals and views about the place of government (and the inability of folks to get by without management by their betters in the movement) with the socialists.

But the fascists were fools and the socialists are still fools.
