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.

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.

Considering how passive the title is here I think maybe they're normalized now.

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 ...

To be fair they were severely understaffed for exactly the duration of the march for some mysterious reason.

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

[-] tatterdemalion@programming.dev 31 points 1 week ago

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

[-] ShepherdPie@midwest.social 52 points 1 week ago

Ah, maybe the police were stopping them to pick up their coworkers from out of the van so that they could start their shift.

"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.

I will never again wonder how a group like the KKK was able to form, thrive, and persist for so long, inside the USA.

So glad I don't live there. I'm worried about you all.

Good luck.

[-] projectsquared@lemmy.world 22 points 1 week ago

I live here and do not understand how it is allowed to happen.

[-] Sculptor9157@sh.itjust.works 33 points 1 week ago

Because the civil war losers were never held to account, allowing this shit to continue festering underneath the veneer of American society.

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

people who hate Jews voted for a guy who took all restrictions off of Israel

inhale

HAHAHAHAHAHA

[-] drake 25 points 1 week ago

Israel isn’t representative of Jewish people. It uses jewish people as a shield from criticism. Israel is a pro-US colonialist project before it’s jewish. This is like saying that people hate leftists but they voted for the national socialist german worker’s party

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.

Can we please have a mass shooting on one of these marches?

Nah, the people marching are the people who perform mass shootings.

It would be a shame if Nazis got massacred and noone saw what happened.

[-] hitstun@fedia.io 22 points 1 week ago

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

[-] A_Random_Idiot@lemmy.world 22 points 1 week ago

the only thing sadder than this is that they managed to survive to the end of their little walk and go home.

In a just society they would have been napalmed and/or turned to ground mince by a large truck.

[-] punkaccountant@lemm.ee 21 points 1 week ago

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.
