Summary
Body cam footage revealed that neo-Nazis who marched in Columbus’ Short North on Nov. 16 were not arrested after police determined they were not the aggressors in a fight.
The group, known as “Hate Club 1844,” claimed they were pepper-sprayed and attacked with cans and vegetables as they marched, waved swastika flags, and yelled slurs.
Witness testimony corroborated that a confrontation started when someone tried to grab their flag.
Police detained, but later released, the group, citing insufficient evidence for charges.
The march drew widespread condemnation and a peaceful counter-march the next day.
The fact that they were able to lodge those complaints tells me they weren’t hit hard enough.

I’m pretty sure Nazis are still the enemy of the United States. At least until the end of January.
“We do this all over the U.S., and we’ve never been attacked like this, man,” the driver told police from his seat in the U-Haul.
It’s because you guys get back in the U-Haul too quickly. Stay awhile. Find out.
If I were a cop I’d pull the uhaul over for seat belt law violations.

I’ve been wondering, do they u-haul to these places to try and avoid detection? Like FBI tracking their movements? Or is it just because they’re broke?
Not sure, but the closest idea I have is: quick, anonymous, and holds a lot of people
anonymous
You have to give Uhaul a copy of your driver’s license to rent a truck. If the plates are caught, a detective can run down when and where it was rented, and therefore by whom, should they choose to put the legwork in.
Though it’s probably better than most personal vehicles in the last 10 years that are basically snitching smartphones on wheels.
Its mainly a defense against social media and open data gathering by antifacists. These shitheads used to roll up in their cars and get tracked back to their day jobs, where they were inevitably fired.
Renting a uhaul makes it very difficult for civilian action.
If they drove their personal vehicles with their license plates, they might be identifiable by the public. I know I’d try to figure out who the vehicles belonged to.
“The neo-Nazis in the back of the U-Haul said they had no identification and refused to provide their names or say where they were from.”
It can’t be proven they even exist, let alone were the victims of some sort of violence.
Wow that’s funny because I’ve seen countless videos of police brutally beating and arresting people walking down the street minding their own business for the ‘crime’ of not handing over their ID when asked.
Remember kids; punch your local nazi today
Problem with that is you give them a chance to shoot back.
American “freedom” protecting Nazis never made sense. It’s like the divide by zero error of freedom.
Little baby bitches.
How many were off duty cops or on first name basis with the cops tho
what kind of vegetables?
What kind of cans?! Little shits need to stay away from my fuckin beans
Just soup, soup for my family
I will save some fetid rotten tomatoes from the compost as a gift if these asshats ever come to my neck of town.
Normally, I don’t buy Israeli products wherever I can avoid it, but pelting these guys with the jumbo cans of Goya beans would be pretty funny.
Maybe some nice, dense ones, like a rutabaga or a turnip. Or a small anvil. Wait, that’s not a vegetable, but I’ll allow it.
Anvils can be vegetables, you just need a couple of tons of beet (~8mg of iron per 1kg)
