"Neo-Nazi Leader to Pay Thousands for Trying to Intimidate Patrons of a Drag Queen Story Hour
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.
A drag queen present at the cafe took a video of the incident at the time.
'We’ve got some verified Nazis today! Golly, I didn’t order those,' performer Juicy Garland posted at the time."
