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.
Let me guess: there were good people on both sides in that masked group.
Can we please have a mass shooting on one of these marches?
people who hate Jews voted for a guy who took all restrictions off of Israel
inhale
HAHAHAHAHAHA
Yeah. They don’t really mind Israel killing non-white people and also concentrating Jewish people under a single state https://youtu.be/N3Taq2bekjQ
These ding-a-lings have been supporting Israel (cynically) for a long time. First of all, they hate Muslims even more as a general rule, and for their silly fantasy that involves Yeshua flying back on a cloud, they think the Jews need to occupy Israel. This is why we have xtian zionists.
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
You think these dumbass neo nazi chucklefucks have enough brain cells to rub together to make that distinction?
yes, they hate arabs most of all, so they probably consider israel’s genocide to be based. they probably love the concept that they’re funding a war that will kill lots of jews and lots of arabs
they could be zionist antisemites
I mean why wouldn’t they? Americans told them to be Nazi and proud this election after all.
I’m more shocked that they wear masks. They hate masks and they have no reason to hide their faces.
Exactly!
Devine and other R politicians have no shame pandering for their votes, dog-whistles and all.
I mean hell, not even dog whistles this time. Trump and his allies were loudly shouting Nazi slogans publicly and there was no pushback.
Hey they voted for hate and bigotry at the federal level
They’re just preparing for the inauguration.
Police are investigating…sure I bet a few officers were in the march. Yes because Trump going allow nazi the only right to free speech. When fhe protest begin Trump will send in the troops to put them down.
Back in Normandy and Carentan Americans used to call that target practice, make America great again please.
This will be normalized within the next 4 years.
Considering how passive the title is here I think maybe they’re normalized now.
The fact this is literally the 2nd story this week of Nazi shitheads openly waving their flags around is a good indicator it’s not going to take nearly that long.
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.
No. No it won’t. They want to sensationalize this. Don’t buy into it.
Can you elaborate on this?
I am not American (although I have lived there). I am just curious.
I am an American (and Jewish) and I have no fucking clue what they’re talking about. It has gotten worse and worse and worse.
“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.
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.
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
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.
They’re Nazis.
You will never get the answer. Not here on Lemmy or Reddit. These are keyboard badasses.
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.
Alright then Neville
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.
Easy.
Nazis aren’t people. They cashed out their people card the second they picked up that flag.
Always punch Nazis. It’s pretty simple.
Jury nullification.
Someone should make an educational video on jury nullification and find a way to make it go viral on tiktok.
Nazis bad :)
Nazis feel emboldened to march in multiple cities this year:

This is America.
Nazis have been marching in Columbus for two years. This was just the first time they attacked people
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.
Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine and Columbus officials condemned the display, emphasizing that hate and bigotry have no place in the state.
Oh, but they do, as is evidenced by hateful bigots marching through the streets of your state capital.
It’s like that time my old high school had a school shooting and some elected official was all like “no one could have predicted this” and I was like “my brother in Christ, I went to that high school. If no one predicted a mass shooter event then why the fuck weren’t we allowed long coats or backpacks? Why the metal detectors? Was it all for shits and giggles?”
Anyways, elected officials lie and it’s very upsetting to people that expect literal truth. Maybe it’s comforting to some?
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.
