Summary

Masked neo-Nazis marched through Columbus, Ohio’s Short North neighborhood on Saturday, displaying swastika flags and making racist and antisemitic statements.

Police are investigating, and no arrests have been reported.

Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine and Columbus officials condemned the display, emphasizing that hate and bigotry have no place in the state.

The incident follows a similar demonstration in Michigan last week, where masked protesters displayed Nazi flags outside a performance of The Diary of Anne Frank.

Hey they voted for hate and bigotry at the federal level

They're just preparing for the inauguration.

This will be normalized within the next 4 years.

When the masks come off, that’s when it’s really bad.

Oh, don’t worry. That was just the new Secretary of Defense and a few of his buddies out blowing off some steam and having a good time.

I wonder what the amount of Trump gear vs Nazi flags was. It's also very ironic how when Nazi's march in the streets without a permit the cops just block off the street with their cars and perform crowd control to "help protect the city" (the Nazis). And when people of color march without a permit because cops killed another person over something stupid they get met with riot gear, tear gas, and rubber bullets.

It's going to get so much worse before it gets better ...

Back in Normandy and Carentan Americans used to call that target practice, make America great again please.

They appear to have been arrested, traveling in a U-haul.

Wasn't that a previous Nazi rally? Or did it happen again?

It legitimately looks like the cop on the left is giving that guy tips for next time.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Interesting. The article ends by saying there were no arrests.

So the story gets a happy ending... and I'm guessing so will his cellmate.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

I won't believe this story has a happy ending until they're in prison. Because I have a feeling they're about to get a huge amount of help from the incoming administration.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

That will depend on whether they face state or federal charges. I’m curious if they will be charged at all if the only thing they did was “protest”.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 hours ago (4 children)

It will depend a lot more on whether or not the fascist dictatorship coming into office in January gives a shit about state charges being out of their legal jurisdiction.

I'm betting on not.

...probably just relocating them to the department so they can change back into their cop uniforms.

"We will not tolerate hate in Ohio," Ohio Republican Gov. Mike DeWine said in a statement on the social media platform X on Saturday evening.

Talking from both sides of your ballot box, are we, Mike? Fucking moron. You support the hate candidate and you get a hate populace.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 7 hours ago

Considering this was happening before the election was declared as well, I'm willing to take the stance that Ohio is just a magnet for trash Nazis.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 14 hours ago

Don’t worry, he’ll get pushback on that statement and then declare Ohio the fifth reich. He always takes the right stance first then manages to flip flop to worse than he was asked to

[–] [email protected] 36 points 15 hours ago (14 children)

I miss the days when it was acceptable to beat the shit out of Nazis. Can we bring that back?

Nazis have been marching in Columbus for two years. This was just the first time they attacked people

[–] [email protected] 9 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

The next time they'll get the right police on shift first so they won't be arrested for attacking people. Then no one speaks up the third time because no one is there to protect us and we've arrived at totally fucked.

I don’t know about you but I armed myself. I will help me.

My sister and I are in Columbus for a concert and we were in a store right across the street from this happening. Shook us up pretty good. I have never seen something like that before.

Oh, but they do, as is evidenced by hateful bigots marching through the streets of your state capital.

What a bunch of losers, waiting until the generation is dead that would beat them to a pulp in the streets with their Hurry Canes and walkers.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 16 hours ago

They harassed a local business, got confronted by the patrons there, and pepper sprayed them. Then, they got arrested for it.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 14 hours ago

Didn’t fucking arrest them. They pepper sprayed people.

Also the short north is a traditional gayborhood.

This is what I love about these guys .... they know full well that this is wrong, this is unacceptable and that the majority of people don't support them .... which is why they wear a mask to hide themselves. They are brazen enough to step out in public to display what they want but they are cowardly enough to not want to be identified.

Is it legal to "citizens arrest" a Neo Nazi on sight?
