Masked white men take to the streets demanding ‘appropriate punishment’ for black teenagers who beat up girl in viral video for using N-Word
A gaggle of white supremacists gathered in Connecticut to call for motion after an incident involving the assault of a teenage girl.
According to a Telegram post, on Sunday, April 28, members of NSC-131, a neo-Nazi group, were seen holding banners in front of Greenwich Town Hall provided by Patch. The photos show them carrying banners that read: “New England is ours, the rest must go” and “FAFO against white races.”
The demonstration was in response to an incident that occurred on April 9 a number of weeks earlier in Byram Park. Police he told the Greenwich Times that the teenagers were at the park having a barbecue when something went incorrect.
Videos circulating online show the girl, who appears to be white, jumping to the ground after she was accused of uttering a racist slur. “She said the N-word and got hit,” one caption read.
“Hit me again, n***a,” the girl reportedly said.
“What?” – replied the shocked witness.
When officers arrived at the scene, the crowd calmed down. The victim was taken to an area hospital, and two people were arrested a number of days later. The services also expected the arrest of three other people.
“As a first pick and a citizen of our city, I was appalled by the video shared on social media of the fight that occurred that night in Byram Park,” first pick Fred Camillo told the Los Angeles Times. “As always, violence of any kind will not be tolerated in the Town of Greenwich.”
Police are investigating the racial aspect of the situation and whether the video was an “accurate depiction of the event,” local police Capt. John Slusarz told the agency.
NSC-131, referred to as the New England-based Nationalist Social Club, is thought for its lightning-fast demonstrations and protests. Expanding to other wings in the U.S. and Europe, their goal, according to the Anti-Defamation League, is to construct an “underground network of white men” willing to oppose their “perceived enemies.”
The club can be related to other hate groups resembling the Proud Boys and Patriot Front, members of which have been charged specifically in reference to the rebellion at the Capitol on January 6, 2021. In his Telegram post, NSC-131 left a message for officials.
“We would like to remind Connecticut legislators and District Attorney Paul J. Ferencek that the best cure for NSC 131 is appropriate punishment for the minorities who relentlessly attack our nation,” the group he wrote. “I hate hate crime allegations, otherwise we will go back.”
Police told Patch that the group held an hour-long protest and left the area without incident.
