Less than 24-hours after his little neo-Nazi group NSC-131 protested a drag queen story hour and on Juneteenth, a violent Nazi becomes a good Nazi!

MANCHESTER, NH – Leo Cullinan, an ex-convict and New Hampshire leader of the white supremacist Nationalist Social Club (NSC-131), was reported to have passed away at home coincidentally on Juneteenth and less than 24 hours after his group staged one of their masked protests outside a Concord, New Hampshire coffee shop hosting a drag queen story hour. He was 35.

According to news reports, Manchester Police responded to a death reported at approximately 7:15 am Monday morning at his home at 14 Country Club Dr., and according to a spokesperson for Manchester police, his death is not considered suspicious.  Cullinan’s death was reported on an NSC-131 Telegram channel earlier that day followed by a fundraiser for his funeral costs.

NSC-131 is a neo-Nazi organization mostly based in New England that views themselves as soldiers fighting a race war against a Jewish-controlled system. They are led by Christopher Hood, 24 of Pepperell, Mass, who last week was ordered not guilty by a Boston judge after being arrested last summer for a fight outside of a drag queen event in the Boston neighborhood of Jamaica Plain. Both Hood and Cullinan were charged by the New Hampshire Attorney General’s Office for civil rights violations after they hung a banner off an overpass in Portsmouth, NH last year that read “Keep New England White,” but those charges were dismissed on June 5 when the judge presiding over the case ruled the demonstrations are protected by the First Amendment. The state is appealing that ruling, despite Cullinan’s death.

131 is alphanumeric code for ACA, Anti-Communist Action and Anti-Capitalist Action.

Cullinan, who served approximately five years in prison after his 2009 arrest for planning to sell oxycodone in Londonderry, NH, and for helping steal a gun used in a 2007 murder, also had a pending assault case in Manchester along with Hood stemming from a violent NSC-131 incident on May Day last year where they allegedly stalked and threatened a person they identified as being “a so-called ‘antifa leader’,”  according to a report on NSC-131 filed by the antifascist veteran-operated organization Task Force Butler Institute. The report notes that Cullinan punched the driver’s side window of the person’s vehicle, shattering it.

In March, Cullinan was indicted on charges that he assaulted an officer at the Hillsborough County, NH House of Corrections in February while he was serving time there on drug possession charges. He was released on April 24, but was still under criminal indictment for the assault at the time of his death. He is also currently listed as being on probation.

It is not known if Cullinan participated in the Concord, NH protest against the drag queen event the day before. His death comes a day before the arrest of fellow New Hampshire NSC-131 member Richard Zachary Ackerman who feds picked up for his role during the insurrection on Jan. 6, 2021, alleging among other things that he stole a Capitol Police riot helmet.
