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.

Two rabid dogs fighting over the same bone.

What is the difference between a neo-Nazi banner and flag and a Aunt Teefer banner and flag? There isn’t a difference. They’re ALL FASCISTS.
Why are the Feddies so upset about a JSixer allegedly killing a D.C. Security Guard by a heart attack and couldn’t GAS about the Aunt Teefers murdering LEOs all over the nation with guns? Sounds like it might have something to do with skin color.
Whoops! I forgot to add the BLMmers in with the Aunt Teefers. They’ve got more cop kills and burned down more taxpayer owned cop cars than the dumbass Aunt Teefers have.
Yes, they SHOULD, but I seriously doubt anyone hanging a BLM banner would be charged with anything.
Great point.
Call me crazy, I am a little more concerned about the rampant white haters. Soon to be institutionalized rampant white hate.
