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.

This will be normalized within the next 4 years.

When the masks come off, that’s when it’s really bad.

Considering how passive the title is here I think maybe they're normalized now.

[-] skyspydude1@lemmy.world 13 points 5 months ago

The fact this is literally the 2nd story this week of Nazi shitheads openly waving their flags around is a good indicator it's not going to take nearly that long.

Oh, don’t worry. That was just the new Secretary of Defense and a few of his buddies out blowing off some steam and having a good time.

I wonder what the amount of Trump gear vs Nazi flags was. It's also very ironic how when Nazi's march in the streets without a permit the cops just block off the street with their cars and perform crowd control to "help protect the city" (the Nazis). And when people of color march without a permit because cops killed another person over something stupid they get met with riot gear, tear gas, and rubber bullets.

It's going to get so much worse before it gets better ...

[-] Klear@sh.itjust.works 18 points 5 months ago

To be fair they were severely understaffed for exactly the duration of the march for some mysterious reason.

You only hide your face if you're proud of something that you're probably not supposed to be proud of...

[-] enbyecho@lemmy.world 11 points 5 months ago

Or you fear being harassed by the cops.... oh wait nvm.

[-] DelightfullyDivisive@lemmy.world 14 points 5 months ago

Exactly. Some of them may actually be cops. They always get some number of facists.

I will never again wonder how a group like the KKK was able to form, thrive, and persist for so long, inside the USA.

So glad I don't live there. I'm worried about you all.

Good luck.

[-] GuyDudeman@lemmy.world 16 points 5 months ago

I'm worried about us too. What the ever-loving fuck, man.

[-] projectsquared@lemmy.world 16 points 5 months ago

I live here and do not understand how it is allowed to happen.

[-] Sculptor9157@sh.itjust.works 26 points 5 months ago

Because the civil war losers were never held to account, allowing this shit to continue festering underneath the veneer of American society.

[-] mortemtyrannis@lemmy.ml 11 points 5 months ago

Sherman should have finished the job.

His weakness was sympathising with southerners.

[-] nomous@lemmy.world 13 points 5 months ago

Traitors should've been hanged. Their lands should've been confiscated and given to newly freed peoples, 40 acres and a mule and all that. Reconstruction failed in large part because the traitorous, racist losers were allowed to go home and start implementing Jim Crow laws instead of being held accountable.

That they and their descendants were allowed to live out their days peacefully pretending their cause was somehow noble and honorable and not just chattel slavery is a crime that persists to this day in the systemic racism throughout our government.

It would be a shame if Nazis got massacred and noone saw what happened.

[-] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 24 points 5 months ago

Get ready to see a lot more of this.

This is America now.

The majority voted for this. We wanted this.

the only thing sadder than this is that they managed to survive to the end of their little walk and go home.

In a just society they would have been napalmed and/or turned to ground mince by a large truck.

Throw paint on them. Follow them to their car. Take a picture of their license plate. Its easier to follow them after you dump a pail of paint on them

Police said the individuals were "armed with firearms."

Yup.

Oh hell no. Place 2x4s in a place they'll accidentally walk into them. Like your hands at their eye level with a runneng start.

Do a march on the same route an hour after they finish and say "We are better than them and don't hate you" do it un masked and see how many people join you.

[-] Orbituary@lemmy.world 9 points 5 months ago

"We will not tolerate hate in Ohio," Ohio Republican Gov. Mike DeWine said in a statement on the social media platform X on Saturday evening.

Talking from both sides of your ballot box, are we, Mike? Fucking moron. You support the hate candidate and you get a hate populace.
