Masked group with swastika flags marches on State House lawn in Concord

A group of masked people carrying swastika flags marched in front of the State House and tussled with passersby in Concord Saturday, according to several eyewitnesses.

Lieutenant Mark Schneible said Concord police are investigating possible criminal activity related to the marchers, but provided no other detail.

One eyewitness, Karen Mayo, said she was downtown midday when she saw about 20 people wearing black pants and red shirts, with their faces and hands covered, marching side by side in pairs onto the State House plaza. Mayo said one person had a camera and appeared to be filming the group, and another was speaking through a megaphone.



A photograph shared with NHPR shows the group carrying several flags bearing swastikas and a sign that read “Trump loves Epstein."

They continue using him, but he's more useful to them currently being used in this manner to advance their own ambitions. No one is under the delusion Trump will live forever and be in power forever. They are looking to their future.

I'd say that they are very creative ANTI Trumpers.
I think a lot of people will miss their message though.

It seems to me there is a lot of common cause lately with "the usual skinhead, racist, white nationalism, nazi shtick" and some (allegedly) on the left.

Namely, hating Jews as a group, to the point of not being able to connect suppressing Dem turnout (*cough* "genocide Joe" *cough*) in a Presidential election bringing the result of having that Epstein-lover Trump becoming President (and for the extreme anti-Israel faction, hurting the people they supposedly care about, even more).

To me, this picture shows that even the extreme wrong-wing can have a faction that combines "only white is right" with a sense of extreme sexual moral purity. Even though we hopefully ALL agree with them that child rape is bad, it is part of a bigger picture for that group of being prigs about ANYTHING they consider not "pure" enough (LGBTQ, women being anything but trad-wives, etc.).

But you will have to allow as how the 'major' message here (and certainly by far the most visible)
Was some kind of Trump hate .. ?

Or it could be a less than effective attempt at some kind of dark comedy.

I'm going with my first thought.

Those little boys might need a nice loud drill Sargent to whip them back into reality. I bet not one of them knows how to make a bed. 🤷‍♀️
