Neo-Nazis have descended on a small town chanting "Seig Heil", leaving local residents petrified.
Masked thugs from the extremist group NSC-131, gathered outside the town hall in Greenwich, Connecticut, wielding placards declaring "New England is ours the rest must go," and "Anti-whites FAFO", the latter acronym meaning "F**k around and find out."
They then paraded in military-style formation through downtown Greenwich, eventually stationing themselves on a street corner with their offensive banners, shouting "Seig Heil," giving the Nazi salute, and intimidating locals.
Greenwich resident and Jewish community member Jolie Goldring expressed her shock to New York Post, saying: "Nazis showing up in Greenwich and yelling 'Heil' with their arms raised? Not supposed to happen in 2024. As Jews, we are literally getting it from every which way, shape and form."

FAFO stands for 'f*** around and find out' (Telegram/NSC)The hate group, an offshoot of NSC-131 known as the Peoples Initiative for New England (PINE), aims to establish a "white homeland" in the northeast and break away from the United States.
According to the Anti-Defamation League: "NSC-131 is a neo-Nazi group based in the New England region. Members consider themselves soldiers at war with a hostile, Jewish-controlled system that is deliberately plotting the extinction of the white race."
These miscreants claimed their protest was in response to what they claim was a racially-charged attack on a white teenager in a Greenwich park, which was caught on camera. The brawl allegedly erupted after a white girl hurled the N-word at others.
The victim of the assault received treatment for minor wounds, while police detained at least two individuals involved in the incident. However, neo-Nazis have called for hate crime charges against the assailants, whom they labelled "minorities who ruthlessly attack our people."
The neo-Nazis outside the Greenwich town hall (Telegram/NSC)Despite the neo-Nazis' threatening rhetoric, Greenwich First Selectman Fred Camillo stated their presence was safeguarded by the First Amendment, and without any violent acts, there was no justification to expel them from the town.
"They did not break any laws, as abhorrent and disgusting as their message was," Camillo explained, describing the group as provocateurs that the residents of Greenwich should confront with the decency these extremists lack.
"Had they crossed the line there, were there would have been consequences," he continued, mentioning that local law enforcement was on high alert, knowing the Nazis planned to rally and kept a watchful eye on them throughout.
Yet, for the Jewish community, such reassurances do little to alleviate the distress caused by the events. "We feel we are in a vice. Hate from all sides," expressed Goldring.
Locals claimed they were terrified to hear 'seig heil' shouted in the streets (Telegram/NSC)"If it's happening here, it's going to happen somewhere else, and it's going to happen in other places, and soon stupid uneducated people might believe them," she lamented, fighting back tears.
"It's just really hard to see and hear someone saying 'Heil Hitler' down the street from where I live." With a child in college, Goldring has been worried sick over safety since the protests have taken hold on so many US campuses. And now, Nazis are marching in her own neighbourhood pushing her to speak out.

"This is full circle now for me. I've got to worry about that. And I have to worry about neo-Nazis hating me because I'm Jewish, in my town that is supposed to be a very progressive, well-educated, polished, cultured area."
"It's the layers and layers and layers of antisemitism that we're feeling from the left from the right. We don't know who to talk to. We don't know who to trust. Where's this president? " she said. "My heart is heavy, I don't know. It's hard to breathe with this much hate, and violence."
