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.

    DeWine condemned it? I thought the republicans probably signed the permits…

      Only because they haven’t pushed back against him yet.

    I’m pissed because at the time I was maybe 15 minutes from where this happened, but didn’t hear about it until after it was over. I also didn’t have any bricks on hand.

    I hate Ohio nazis.
