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’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.
