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.
I miss the days when it was acceptable to beat the shit out of Nazis. Can we bring that back?
Under what laws was it acceptable to beat people until shit comes out of them? It sounds like you just want an excuse to become violent whenever you feel justified.
The laws of engagement in WW2? I remember they were apparently building concentration camps and rounding up and murdering the Jews, the gays, the gypsies, the anarchists, the communists, the Slavs, the mentally disabled, allied prisoners of war etc etc. I think right about then the law was ok with fucking-up Nazis… but I’m not an historian so best to double check this comment.
They’re Nazis.
Appeasement is a terrible idea when we’re talking about Nazis, it has never worked and will never work. I don’t get why people are so ignorant about history. I guess you’re not part of a minority that would get brutalized or murdered under their rule? Otherwise you probably wouldn’t attempt to play nice with literal Nazis.
It’s really irritating to watch this shit unfold as a German. You guys are basically begging fascists to take over at this point.
Who is begging fascist to take over? It sounds like you’re begging anarchy to take over. I seriously question people’s intent like this that act like there should be no laws in the United States and that their radical feelings are way more important. I don’t see any of these cosplay Nazis murdering Jewish people anywhere on the scale of Zionists. Do you? Tell me, why are you such a strong advocate of punching cosplay Nazis but not an advocate of punching those committing the murder and genocide today?
Alright then Neville
Hey. Peace in our time.
You’re going to be really disappointed if anyone ever tells you it’s raining cats and dogs.
I’m a pacifist, but punching Nazis has been self defence for 80+ years.
No it hasn’t. It is propaganda from Zionists to get you to think and behave radically anytime someone gets called a Nazi. It is a way to get you to think irrationally and to become a violent thug whenever you feel it is convenient to attack someone.
No, I’m old enough to know the difference.
If you’re suggesting people literally carrying Nazi flags aren’t Nazis, you’re delusional.
You do realize that Nazis from WWII would be around 90 years old today? Like I’m not sure if you think there is some time portal and you just got done playing some video game about zombie Nazis or what not, but yeah the people in the US are mostly troll cosplay Nazis who have never murdered anyone. But if you want to find people supporting modern day genocide that is taking place right now then you’re looking for people carrying a different flag.
Okay, your comments are clearly in bad faith and I’m done wasting time on you.
Easy.
Nazis aren’t people. They cashed out their people card the second they picked up that flag.
Carrying a flag does not mean that someone is not people. It can mean that they are people that do bad things. You have Zionists committing genocide under your nose that seem to carry a particular flag. Do you think Zionists, like Joe Biden (a proud Zionist) aren’t people? Are you willing to punch the President or worse because of your extremist beliefs?
You will never get the answer. Not here on Lemmy or Reddit. These are keyboard badasses.
Always punch Nazis. It’s pretty simple.
Okay there keyboard warrior. Do you lunch Zionist at the same level you punch cosplay Nazis? One is actively committing genocide.
Jury nullification.
Someone should make an educational video on jury nullification and find a way to make it go viral on tiktok.
Nazis bad :)
