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.

It would be a shame if Nazis got massacred and noone saw what happened.
Charge them with hate speech.
Oh hell no. Place 2x4s in a place they’ll accidentally walk into them. Like your hands at their eye level with a runneng start.
Tbh why are these neo-nazis soo cringe tho.
Trump will pardon them, so there’s gonna be a fuckton more of this shit over the next four years. Likely progressively worse as we go.
Pardon them for what? Unless their possessing firearms wasn’t in line with the law, or that “physical altercation” mentioned that questioning apparently went nowhere reemerges as a thing then I don’t know what they’d need pardoned for based on the article.
The marching with Nazi shit and spewing whatever hateful bullshit is protected speech, because speech protections in the US are extremely broad.
And that’s before getting into whether or not the hypothetical crime is federal (which he could hypothetically pardon) or state (which he can’t).
Unless they violated a federal crime and are convicted of it, Trump can’t do shit.
I think it’s incorrect to link all the January 6th protestors with actual Neo-Nazis and that sort of hyperbole was part of the reason Democrats were out of touch with how regular people felt. Neo-Nazis are partly increasing because of the memification of racism, giving racism a more viral quality, combined with how fast society is changing and people incorrectly making sense of it through racism.
No one mentioned Jan 6 until you did.
Can of Surströmming, pull tab, throw.
Nooooooooo, not the Surströmming attack. Against the geneva convention
Lol, you made my day brighter with your remark
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
they are probably armed
Police said the individuals were “armed with firearms.”
Yup.
What’s your point?
have you done this sort of thing before?
They will shoot you.
No they won’t. It’s posturing. Be careful around them, but if they shoot you for throwing paint then there’s going to be a big crackdown on them. They don’t want that. The guns are part of the show (and potentially to defend against other armed attacks).
but if they shoot you for throwing paint then there’s going to be a big crackdown on them
They’re armed because they’re looking to provoke a situation where they can commit murder and call it self defense.
It’s called the Shittenhouse Defense
That is not true of everyone walking around carrying, but it is definitely true of these fuckwits.
In a normal legal system that would be provocation of self-defense state, which would cause the act of defending to be limited to actual defense but would require extensive acts of mitigating the threat in non-violent ways.
Yes, but these are nazis, so it’s not like the sympathetic legal system is going to do anything. Also, these are nazis, so they’re not very bright.
They’re marching in the hopes that someone will attack them in a fashion they cannot reasonably flee from? Or does Ohio have stand your ground and we could knock the part about fleeing off?
Ohio doesn’t require fleeing. All they have to say is that they thought someone was in danger to use lethal force. They could still be charged and it’d be up to ba jury. I don’t think they’d do very well with a jury though. But somebody is still dead.
They’re marching in the hopes that someone will attack them in a fashion they cannot reasonably flee from?
They are marching in the hopes that someone will do anything even slightly untoward that they can interpret as a threat and open fire. They’re confident that they will get a piece of shit judge like Rittenhouse got.
Or does Ohio have stand your ground and we could knock the part about fleeing off?
Do you suppose that they are legal scholars?
I’m not saying they will shoot you, just simply pointing out what the point is that op asked about.
Sure, because there was no warning of this crap display of cowardice (masks), & everyone just happens to carry cans of paint around to do such a thing. 🙄
These things are going to keep happening. Go buy paint now and pour it into some wide mouth plastic bottles. If you want to stop facsim, you have to plan to do antifa work, just like any work
It’s horrible and racist but at least there is free speech. It’s too bad we can’t have free speech without this sort of thing. Perhaps one day people will become kinder and less racist. It scares me but the alternative of no free speech scares me more.
Oh, just put your mask on and get back out there, numbnuts
… that said I think there’s a huge difference between suggesting that this kind of thing be made illegal, and criticizing people with power and influence (including politicians) for actively encouraging it and benefiting from it
Paradox of tolerance
I mean this is less of a free speech issue and more of a lack of information and education issue coupled with foreign disinformation campaigns. And specifically for America, also a societal isolation issue. Americans outside downtown rarely get any human contact and it shows, as trust between neighbors deteriorates. This sort of stuff is far less prevalent in countries that put more value in education and building communities.
Why the fuck is the photo censored?

Masked groupNazis marches through Ohio neighborhood with swastika flagsFTFY ABC News.
Fucking assholes
hate and bigotry is literally the only thing republicans agree on
I’ve seen more hate, violence, and bigotry from the left over the last year…
Hallucinogenics are a hell of a drug…or did you just notsee what the entire GOP has become?
{Citations Needed}
People calling you a nazi when you’re acting like a nazi doesn’t count.
Oh pretty please indulge us with your tall tales of all the violence you’ve seen from the left since Nov of 2023.
sure you have, sweetie
The hate and bigotry: people being upset at being intentionally misgendered.
Prove it.
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.
I’m worried about us too. What the ever-loving fuck, man.
I live here and do not understand how it is allowed to happen.
Any system is allowed to self-destruct, I guess
Exploitation of the religious liberties clause of the first amendment.
Because the civil war losers were never held to account, allowing this shit to continue festering underneath the veneer of American society.
Sherman should have finished the job.
His weakness was sympathising with southerners.
Traitors should’ve been hanged. Their lands should’ve been confiscated and given to newly freed peoples, 40 acres and a mule and all that. Reconstruction failed in large part because the traitorous, racist losers were allowed to go home and start implementing Jim Crow laws instead of being held accountable.
That they and their descendants were allowed to live out their days peacefully pretending their cause was somehow noble and honorable and not just chattel slavery is a crime that persists to this day in the systemic racism throughout our government.
Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck
