'Neo-Nazi group' harassed drag queens and hotels sheltering migrants, Mass. AG alleges

The Massachusetts attorney general is suing a white nationalist group active in New England after she said they repeatedly attempted to disrupt and harass drag queen story events and hotels that shelter migrants, in violation of state civil rights laws.

Massachusetts Attorney General Andrea Campbell (D) said in a complaint that members of the Nationalist Social Club, also known as NSC-131, have engaged in “violent” and “coercive” actions not protected by the First Amendment. Those include attempts to disrupt and shut down events, trespassing onto private property, and carrying out “patrols” that led to the group’s vandalizing public and private areas with graffiti and stickers, the complaint stated.

Filed on Thursday at the Suffolk County Superior Court in Boston, the lawsuit identifies two of the group’s leaders, Christopher Hood and Liam McNeil, as being responsible for controlling NSC-131’s activities in Massachusetts. The Washington Post could not reach Hood or McNeil for comment, and it is unclear whether they are being represented by an attorney.

“NSC-131 has engaged in a concerted campaign to target and terrorize people across Massachusetts and interfere with their rights,” Campbell said in a statement. “Our complaint is the first step in holding this neo-Nazi group and its leaders accountable for their unlawful actions against members of our community.”

It takes effort to travel, locate, scheme. They have too much time on their hands so they meddle in other people's lives.

But you know, the money. These activities are supported in some fashion, by someone.

They live in mommy and daddy's basement and work service jobs. They blame everyone but themselves for their lack of ability to better themselves. As such, they are very easily led by cult leaders. The have plenty of time on their hands.
