Two more Neo-Nazi demonstrators who are accused of hanging antisemitic banners over I-4 in Orlando were arrested, the Florida Department of Law Enforcement said Wednesday.

Ronald Murray, 41, and Amanda Rains, 36, were arrested along with two others after the group hung antisemitic hate banners along the Darryl Carter Parkway Bridge in Orlando, the FDLE said.

The arrests come after Governor Ron DeSantis signed House Bill 269 earlier this year prohibiting individuals from displaying or projecting images onto a building, structure, or property without permission.

    Why do Nazis feel safe and accepted in Ron DeSantis’s Florida?

      To be fair, I lived in Florida from 1980 to 2007, they loved Florida then too.

      That’s nothing. We had an actual Nazi in the Canadian Parliament and gave him a standing ovation!

    Honestly given everything I’ve heard about Florida and the character of the current governor I am surprised it’s illegal.

      It ws probably targeting liberal protesters, so this may be a Leopards Ate My Face situation.

      Oh yeah the hate speech is legal, it’s just the hanging of the sign on public property that isn’t.

      In America being a Nazi, or anti-semitic IS legal. However excercising your free speech in any way you want, wherever you want, isn’t legal unconditionally in any state, not just your ignorant Florida stereotype.

    I’d be curious about what made the banners anti-semitic, since that has become an umbrella term for criticizing banking, capitalism, israel, or even jewish-amercian US government officials.

    Looking at the blurred videos, they seem to be Nazi flags, but why not just call them Nazi flags? Why call them anti-Semitic, seems odd.

      Probably because they were anti-semitic Nazi flags. Anti-semitism does not mean what you’re saying. However, it is often that people hide behind criticizing other things to target them and act innocent. There’s a difference between saying “the elites” and “the globalists” for example. We know what people mean by both, and they aren’t saying the latter by accident.

      I do agree that Israel uses “anti-semitism” as a cudgel against anyone who dares criticize zionism. That’s a whole other issue though.
