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 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 ...

    "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.

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

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

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

    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.

    Throw paint on them. Follow them to their car. Take a picture of their license plate. Its easier to follow them after you dump a pail of paint on them

    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.
