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.
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?
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.
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?
The hate and bigotry: people being upset at being intentionally misgendered.
Prove it.
Haha, no you haven’t you fucking dork.

Oh pretty please indulge us with your tall tales of all the violence you’ve seen from the left since Nov of 2023.
People calling you a nazi when you’re acting like a nazi doesn’t count.
You mean the left also tried to overthrow the government through violence?
Imagine having a brain so wasted and misused as to actually believe this.
It’s disrespectful to the forces of nature to treat your brain like this after so many millions of years of evolution.
Get yourself some help.
sure you have, sweetie
It would be a shame if Nazis got massacred and noone saw what happened.
“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
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.
Do a march on the same route an hour after they finish and say “We are better than them and don’t hate you” do it un masked and see how many people join you.
Let me guess: there were good people on both sides in that masked group.
the masked group is just one of the sides

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.
Considering how passive the title is here I think maybe they’re normalized now.
No. No it won’t. They want to sensationalize this. Don’t buy into it.
You paid pretty much zero attention I’m school, huh?
“They” being the majority of Americans who looked at this as said “yeah, sure”.
Yeah nothing to report here, just some Nazis marching through US streets unmolested.
They were molested. The got in a few fights, pepper sprayed some people and then scuttled off to their U-Haul where the cops arrested them.
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.
I hope you are able to stay safe where you are. A lot of New England states prepared for an influx of people needing medical care when roe vs wade was overturned. Some blatantly said they will not cooperate with states like Texas and will not release people’s medical records.
I’m hoping if things escalate they’ll follow that trend and help people get out. There’s been some states like Vermont and Connecticut that have had a decrease in population over the past 10 years so there’s room for more people should it come to that.
I have dual citizenship with the UK, which is where we plan to escape to, but New England is Plan B if I can’t find a job.
That’s good to hear! The UK is probably a lot safer than staying stateside. But if you find job prospects better in New England we welcome you!
The roads are kinda crappy, and we still have some trump supporters, but it’s definitely muted compared to other parts of the country.
We have good friends in Baltimore (a queer married couple) so it’s a better plan B than nothing.
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.
Fucking assholes
Screw tolerance some things need to be eradicated. I wish death in the most heinous way on these scum.
They harassed a local business, got confronted by the patrons there, and pepper sprayed them. Then, they got arrested for it.
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.
Hey they voted for hate and bigotry at the federal level
Don’t worry, it won’t be long and they will not need to mask anymore.
