Naw It Doesn’t Happen In New England.

Neo-Nazis Swarm Home of New England Governor

Dozens of Neo-Nazis demonstrated outside the home of Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey (D) on Saturday night, in an intimidating display of hate. Members of the group NSC-131 — which seeks to create a white-only ethnostate in New England — marched Saturday night through the Boston suburb of Arlington, uniformed in khakis, black jackets, face masks, and baseball caps.

The NSC-131 members moved under cover of darkness, co-opting the progressive activist chant, “Whose streets? Our streets!” The neo-Nazis then lined up on the sidewalk across the street from the Healey’s home, which was protected by state troopers. The group’s members lit red traffic flares, and held these aloft with stiff arm Hitler salutes. They unfurled a banner reading: “WE’RE NOT GOING ANYWHERE.”

The action by NSC-131 was an in-the-streets response to civil rights charges brought against the group by the state late last year. A 26-page complaint was lodged by Massachusetts Attorney General Andrea Joy Campbell (D) in December. Campbell denounced the group’s efforts to “target and terrorize people across Massachusetts and interfere with their rights,” and insisted the state of Massachusetts is dedicated to “holding this neo-Nazi group and its leaders accountable.”

That legal complaint hits NSC-131 for actions that “unlawfully target and disrupt LGBTQ+ events,” including drag queen story hours; “unlawfully target immigrants based on race and national origin,” including by trespassing at hotels where asylum seekers have been offered temporary housing; “unlawfully attack members of the public,” with frequent brawling at NSC-131 marches; and for numerous efforts to “disrupt public peace and safety.”

Naw, this doesn’t happen here in New England, they must have meant some Republican state.

Hate group demonstrated outside Governor Healey’s home on Saturday; no arrests made

Police in Arlington said in a statement Tuesday that officers were alerted to the protest at 6:40 p.m.

“The protest remained peaceful and ended at 6:54 p.m.,” police said. “No arrests were made.”

[...]

State Police said Tuesday that about 25 members of NSC-131 had assembled outside Healey’s home.

[…]

A supporter of the group wrote on X that its members came to Arlington to “raise awareness” about what he described as a “migrant invasion” of Massachusetts. The group describes itself as a “pro-white, street-oriented fraternity dedicated to raising AUTHENTIC resistance to the enemies of our people in the New England area.”

Unfortunately the group haven’t broken any laws and the First Amendment protects all speech, even the ones we don’t like.

The thing is these protests effect many, many people. It creates fear in law abiding citizens.

Arlington neighbors concerned after neo-Nazi group NSC-131 protests outside Gov. Healey's home

Neighbors said they were scared on Saturday when neo-Nazi group NSC-131 staged a protest outside Gov. Maura Healey's Arlington home.

Members of the group stood outside Healey's home and chanted "New England is ours, the rest must go," an apparent reference to the ongoing arrival of migrants in Massachusetts. Their presence drew a large police response and left the neighborhood unsettled.

"It was scary, especially this neighborhood, there's a lot of kids, a lot of families and it's a good community, so just seeing something like that and bring able to take place right in our front lawn, I mean, just very scary. Like, I don't understand what's really going on," said neighbor H.K.

Healey released a statement Monday about the protesters.

These Neo-Nazis and white supremacists are trying to scare people from exercising their rights and standing up to their hate. We won't tolerate it in Massachusetts. Local, state and federal law enforcement will hold accountable perpetrators of violence and those who threaten violence and will keep our communities and residents safe.

As the old proverb goes “It takes a village to raise a child.” it is also takes a village for force them back into the swamp.
