Well, that escalated quickly.
It’s going down at 12:30pm at M Street Park. “No books, no friends. I offer you out. Old school Southie style. Meet me at the park” challenge issued by the Dropkick Murphys to a group of Nazis. The beef started when a neo-Nazi group, NS131 used the Dropkick Murphy’s song, “The Boys are Back” in a St. Patrick’s parade day video. The band called them out for using their song and referred to them as “fucking losers” and threatened to “smash” them via a tweet:
Then, as internet trolls do, they stir the pot on social media.
It’s unclear from the tweets if NS 131 will show up themselves or if it’s just the supporters of the neo-Nazis that plan to fight. From this back and forth on twitter, the following flyer began circulating on social media:
As insane as all of this sounds – literally right out of movie – take your pick, West Side Story, The Outsiders, Anchor Man – there is potential for trouble on Saturday afternoon at M Street Park so steer clear. BPD has been alerted so there will be police presence.
We’re hoping this will all end before it begins.

IMAGINE if it was the “OLD SOUTHIE”..and this happened…No need for DROPKICK MURPHYS…THE HOBOS, THE MULLINS, SAINTS, PEDROS, THE PARKWAYS, THE TICKIES just to name a few…
I remember during the first year of busing a busload of Nazis dressed to the hilt in their German uniforms made the mistake of walking past a big group of us playing street hockey. We beat them all the way back to the bus and they got out of Southie as fast as they could.
These Nazis were still swimming in their daddies’ shrivelled, drug destroyed sacs, when my crew was clearing boneheads out of Manhattan. They need to find a hole to hide in now that they’ve made themselves famous. The tough guy fantasy fades fast when you’re hated by virtually the entire world.
Does anyone know what happened??
As in, if this actually transpired, what happened, etc?
Dress up party indeed… The irony of it all
Reminds me of when the Ku Klux Klan came to southie to help with the bussing problems. We turned them.around and sent them home. Southie has always taken care of itself
