This was, in fact, the second action by NSC-131 targeting the governor's home. In mid-October, members of the neo-Nazi group
similarly marched at Healey's residence declaring: "New England is ours, the rest must go." At the time the governor released a statement blasting "these Neo-Nazis and white supremacists" for "trying to scare people from exercising their rights," adding: "We won't tolerate it in Massachusetts."
NSC-131 is an offshoot of another far-right hate group, Patriot Front, and is tactically similar in staging flash-mob actions like the march on Healey's home. But unlike Patriot Front, which coats its white nationalism in a veneer of patriotism, NSC-131 is
unabashedly Nazi in its ideology and iconography. "By using the Swastika and the symbols of dreaded Nazi Germany," the group has stated in its literature, "we place ourselves in the most stark opposition possible to everything that we would change in modern society."
