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.

    Wasn’t that a previous Nazi rally? Or did it happen again?

        Reddit is not a reliable source for verified facts in any way, at any time, at all.

        I can nearly swear I remember this photo from the last trump administration.

          Ah, I forgot to consult the internet’s most reliable source for verified facts: random dude who sears he remembers somethings.

          Given the details of the post with multiple photos, it’s plausible reddit’s the source of the image. I wasn’t able to find an older posting of it, but by all means share your link from 4+ years ago if you’ve got t.

            They’re not entirely wrong though. Remember how Reddit “caught” the Boston marathon bomber?

              I think they *are *entirely wrong though. This thread’s about Nazis in Columbus and whether they were caught. I don’t think “I remember this from years ago, trust me bro” is a convincing reason to dismiss the photos. Neither is their having been posted in reddit, even if they fucked up an unrelated thing over a decade ago.

              Again, I’m happy to be disproven. If the image above was actually circulating years ago, it should be relatively easy to find it posted somewhere else prior to yesterday. I couldn’t find it, hence why I commented about it in the first place

                I’m just addressing the fact that Reddit isn’t always correct and we should want more credible sources than random people submitting things online with no vetting. That’s where they aren’t entirely wrong. I’m not saying they’re right and their memory is a reason to believe this is incorrect, but they’re just some person online just like the Reddit user.
