The New Hampshire attorney general is again accusing a white nationalist group of civil rights violations, this time in response to a demonstration outside a Concord café hosting a drag story hour event.

Attorney General John Formella said Wednesday he has filed a civil complaint saying that the Nationalist Social Club-131 and one of its leaders violated the state’s anti-discrimination law.

The complaint says that Christopher Hood, of Newburyport, Massachusetts, led a group of NSC-131 members stood outside the Teatotaller Café for more than an hour on June 18 shouting homophobic slurs, chanting loudly and saluting in a fashion reminiscent of Nazi Germany.

Group members also are accused of banging on the café’s windows and making intimidating gestures and comments directed at the performer and others in the café. Such actions, the complaint alleges, amount to an attempt to coerce the business into refusing access to its venue based on their sexual orientation or gender identity.

      Not the government’s job to restrict the free speech of Nazis.

      That’s my job, and I will zealously guard my interests in that respect.

      I guarantee you, 100%, that will cause more problems than it solves.

        Like how worse it would have been if we actually punished and erased the ideologies of the South after their previous terrorist insurrection?

          Ha, nah. But I don’t think killing everyone in the South was the answer, either.

          Just seize their assets.

          There is no ‘beating them.’

          If you think Nazism and similar ideologies can be ‘beaten’, then you’re just not paying attention to history.

          It’s a constant struggle and always will be. The best we can do is try to save others from hurting themselves.

            There are definitely ideologies that do not exist anymore lol

            The reason Nazism isn’t a dead ideology is Operation Paperclip.

              I said similar ideologies because even if Nazism itself becomes irrelevant, it will just be replaced by something else. Probably worse.
