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.
Nazis feel emboldened to march in multiple cities this year:

This is America.
Nazis have been marching in Columbus for two years. This was just the first time they attacked people
The next time they’ll get the right police on shift first so they won’t be arrested for attacking people. Then no one speaks up the third time because no one is there to protect us and we’ve arrived at totally fucked.
I don’t know about you but I armed myself. I will help me.
