Christopher Hood Jr and his band of neo-Nazis stood outside a cafe yelling homophobic slurs and making Nazi salutes in 2023. A founder of a neo-Nazi group that staged an intimidation attack on a drag queen story hour in 2023 has admitted to violating New Hampshire’s civil rights law. He now has to pay $2,500 in civil penalties and an additional $7,500 if he fails to comply with all requirements of a court order, pursuant to an agreement with the state’s attorney general’s office announced last week. He also has to do 250 hours of community service. Christopher R. Hood Jr. of Massachusetts and his Nazi group, the Nationalist Social Club-131, also known as NSC-131, have been sanctioned by a court in New Hampshire after Hood and 19 others appeared outside Teatotaller Cafe during a drag queen story hour on June 18, 2023, when they hurled anti-LGBTQ+ slurs, performed Nazi salutes, and banged on the cafe’s windows during the event. (…) NSC-131 has faced other legal complaints in New Hampshire as well as in Massachusetts, the Boston Globe reports. The paper notes that Hood has been a member of the neo-Nazi groups the Patriot Front and the Proud Boys before he formed NSC-131 in 2019. The group’s members often hide their faces and wear khakis and black shirts. The New Hampshire Attorney General’s office said that because of the litigation against Hood and NSC-131 in the state, the group no longer operates there.
