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.

You only hide your face if you're proud of something that you're probably not supposed to be proud of...

    Exactly. Some of them may actually be cops. They always get some number of facists.

    "They always get some number of facists."

    My observation is that if they didn't start out that way, they sure end up that way.

    And yes, I resisted the temptation to make a joke about "facists"

    Why are you putting "fascist" in quotes when we're talking about a march literally displaying Nazi flags?

    Maybe I'm mistaken in thinking Nazis are fascists?

    Slow down, you read too fast.

    "facists" vs fascists.
