The leader of the National Socialist Movement, the largest Neo-Nazi group in the United States, was arrested in Chandler Monday. Burt Colucci is accused of threatening to kill African Americans and pointing his gun at them. Colucci was in the Valley for the NSM rally over the weekend, which was a brief, uneventful march. The Neo-Nazi group tried to provoke a confrontation with Black men by calling them racial slurs, but when it was clear they were not going to get their desired reaction, the group got in their cars and left. Two days after he paraded around a Phoenix park for roughly 30 minutes with 15 others, Colucci was booked into jail, charged with aggravated assault. (…) A victim then gave a statement referencing the first incident, saying “Colucci began throwing trash on their car, using racial slurs, and threatened to kill him and the group he was with.” The victim also said Colucci pointed the gun at him. According to the report, “an independent third party witness stated…she saw Colucci point the handgun at the victim.”
