\"DKM\"Seriously, they really think they are going to beat down THIS band?<\/h3>\n

<\/p>\n

One People\u2019s Project<\/h2>\n

A week after a video from a Dropkick Murphys show during St. Patrick\u2019s Day weekend showing the bass player confronting a person doing a Nazi salute while on their stage and declaring that they will not tolerate Nazis at their show, the band posted a message on their Twitter account from a person reportedly from Australia warning that they may be attacked by neo-Nazis when they play a series of shows there.<\/p>\n

\"DKM\"\u201cFuck Drop Kick Murphy\u2019s (sic),\u201d the email from a person calling himself \u201cJoe Smith\u201d read. \u201cYou fucking interracial communist faggots. Be careful in Australia because there is (sic) plenty of neo nazis in Australia who would love to kick your ass, watch out Zionists.\u201d<\/p>\n

The email was dated March 21, just over a week since they played a show at Terminal 5 in New York City to a packed crowd. Known for inviting fans on stage as they play, when one of those persons began giving the Nazi salute to the crowd, bassist Ken Casey noticed him from the corner of his eye, confronted the person and an altercation ensued. Seconds later, Casey returned to his microphone and declared, \u201cNazis are not fucking welcome at a Dropkick Murphys show!\u201d The video of the altercation has since gone viral.<\/p>\n

Dropkick Murphys, who in recent years have been seeing mainstream success, have long been a staple in the underground music scene, and have a huge following among traditional skinheads, who, like the band, do not hold the neo-Nazi beliefs that many in the mainstream have been falsely led to believe is a part of skinhead culture. One of the band\u2019s more popular songs is “Skinhead on the M.B.T.A.”, which is about the working-class punks of Boston.<\/p>\n

Despite this, neo-Nazis have been fans of the Boston-based band due to their promotion of their Irish culture and heritage, but a recent thread on Stormfront might suggest this recent incident changes everything. \u201cAll these homos did was place a big target on their backs,\u201d a poster from Texas calling himself 14th District wrote. \u201cThe result will be some of their fans will get beat down, shows stopped and loss revenue.\u201d Still, another poster did admonish the reputed neo-Nazi, saying, \u201cAs much as I don’t like it, it was the guy’s own fault for not being situationally aware.\u201d Indeed, another poster recalls the band doing this to another neo-Nazi ten years ago.<\/p>\n

Dropkick Murphys is expected to be in Australia this week.<\/p>\n
