Summary
A group displaying swastika flags on an I-75 overpass in Evendale, Ohio, was confronted by local residents, leading to tensions and a heavy police presence.
Residents pushed past police, seized a flag, and forced the demonstrators to retreat into a U-Haul truck.
Officials, including Cincinnati’s mayor and Hamilton County’s sheriff, condemned the demonstration.
The Jewish Federation and NAACP also spoke out, questioning where the demonstrators came from. The NAACP suggested the current administration’s policies may have emboldened the group.
No arrests were made.
Fun tip. All u-hauls have a padlock hasp on the back door. The rental truck trick is a known method of white supremacist groups for these cute little pop-up hate experiences.
It is perfectly fine to carry a small padlock around at all times, too.
It’s also perfectly legal to carry a length of cloth and a lighter. You know, just in case.
I hate that it’s a thing, but I love the nomenclature.
And after you’ve expended your anti-nazi padlock, if said uhaul just magically burst into flames…

Ya I carry around a couple Molotov cocktails to help speed up the spontaneous combustion of fascist and their property.
