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.
Why the fuck is the photo censored?

It should be legal to just round up a bunch of people and beat the absolute piss out of these guys. Just a savage beating to within an inch of their lives, as a warning to anybody who thinks this shit is okay or cool.
Hell, why not take a car and just plow through it? Those fuckers are flagbearing an ideology that developed mass murder on an industrial scale. Let them feel a tiny bit of that on themselves.
Is it legal to “citizens arrest” a Neo Nazi on sight?
I miss the days when it was acceptable to beat the shit out of Nazis. Can we bring that back?
If you see someone punch a nazi, no you didn’t. That nazi fell.
Under what laws was it acceptable to beat people until shit comes out of them? It sounds like you just want an excuse to become violent whenever you feel justified.
Always punch Nazis. It’s pretty simple.
They’re Nazis.
I’m a pacifist, but punching Nazis has been self defence for 80+ years.
No it hasn’t. It is propaganda from Zionists to get you to think and behave radically anytime someone gets called a Nazi. It is a way to get you to think irrationally and to become a violent thug whenever you feel it is convenient to attack someone.
No, I’m old enough to know the difference.
If you’re suggesting people literally carrying Nazi flags aren’t Nazis, you’re delusional.
Nazis bad :)
Alright then Neville
Appeasement is a terrible idea when we’re talking about Nazis, it has never worked and will never work. I don’t get why people are so ignorant about history. I guess you’re not part of a minority that would get brutalized or murdered under their rule? Otherwise you probably wouldn’t attempt to play nice with literal Nazis.
It’s really irritating to watch this shit unfold as a German. You guys are basically begging fascists to take over at this point.
Who is begging fascist to take over? It sounds like you’re begging anarchy to take over. I seriously question people’s intent like this that act like there should be no laws in the United States and that their radical feelings are way more important. I don’t see any of these cosplay Nazis murdering Jewish people anywhere on the scale of Zionists. Do you? Tell me, why are you such a strong advocate of punching cosplay Nazis but not an advocate of punching those committing the murder and genocide today?
Can… can we maybe just punch / kill both? The Isrealis are acting a LOT like Nazis these days. I’m cool with both.
You will never get the answer. Not here on Lemmy or Reddit. These are keyboard badasses.
Jury nullification.
You’re going to be really disappointed if anyone ever tells you it’s raining cats and dogs.
Over half the planet was in agreement about fucking up Nazis at one point
Easy.
Nazis aren’t people. They cashed out their people card the second they picked up that flag.
Carrying a flag does not mean that someone is not people. It can mean that they are people that do bad things. You have Zionists committing genocide under your nose that seem to carry a particular flag. Do you think Zionists, like Joe Biden (a proud Zionist) aren’t people? Are you willing to punch the President or worse because of your extremist beliefs?
Netanyahu’s atrocities don’t justify your support for nazi shit.
It’s a shame that lemmy’s centrists abandoned the high ground on this, but I didn’t. Nazis relinquished their humanity to become pinatas.
The laws of engagement in WW2? I remember they were apparently building concentration camps and rounding up and murdering the Jews, the gays, the gypsies, the anarchists, the communists, the Slavs, the mentally disabled, allied prisoners of war etc etc. I think right about then the law was ok with fucking-up Nazis… but I’m not an historian so best to double check this comment.
There’s no such thing as a peaceful Nazi.
Nazis feel emboldened to march in multiple cities this year:

Nazis have been marching in Columbus for two years. This was just the first time they attacked people
Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine and Columbus officials condemned the display, emphasizing that hate and bigotry have no place in the state.
Oh, but they do, as is evidenced by hateful bigots marching through the streets of your state capital.
It’s like that time my old high school had a school shooting and some elected official was all like “no one could have predicted this” and I was like “my brother in Christ, I went to that high school. If no one predicted a mass shooter event then why the fuck weren’t we allowed long coats or backpacks? Why the metal detectors? Was it all for shits and giggles?”
Anyways, elected officials lie and it’s very upsetting to people that expect literal truth. Maybe it’s comforting to some?
Can of Surströmming, pull tab, throw.
Nooooooooo, not the Surströmming attack. Against the geneva convention
Lol, you made my day brighter with your remark
deploy the caltrops
hate and bigotry is literally the only thing republicans agree on
I’ve seen more hate, violence, and bigotry from the left over the last year…
{Citations Needed}
People calling you a nazi when you’re acting like a nazi doesn’t count.
Oh pretty please indulge us with your tall tales of all the violence you’ve seen from the left since Nov of 2023.
The hate and bigotry: people being upset at being intentionally misgendered.
sure you have, sweetie
Prove it.
Imagine having a brain so wasted and misused as to actually believe this.
It’s disrespectful to the forces of nature to treat your brain like this after so many millions of years of evolution.
Get yourself some help.
Hallucinogenics are a hell of a drug…or did you just notsee what the entire GOP has become?
Masked groupNazis marches through Ohio neighborhood with swastika flagsFTFY ABC News.
people who hate Jews voted for a guy who took all restrictions off of Israel
inhale
HAHAHAHAHAHA
Israel is not Jewish. This is antisemitic
Most Jews are not israeli and israel is not representative of Judaism, but israel does claim Judaism as a core part of its “national” identity, so there’s nothing antisemitic about pointing out the irony of Nazis supporting israel. The irony may be pretty superficial tho, some of the other replies here point out several reasons why Nazism and Zionism/israel are actually aligned.
Israel isn’t representative of Jewish people. It uses jewish people as a shield from criticism. Israel is a pro-US colonialist project before it’s jewish. This is like saying that people hate leftists but they voted for the national socialist german worker’s party
You think these dumbass neo nazi chucklefucks have enough brain cells to rub together to make that distinction?
They hate any color that isn’t white scaled to a slightly off-peach beige.
What you actually are has nothing to do with their perception. There’s stories of Mexicans and Indians after 9/11 getting killed because some idiot thought they looked like Arabs.
yes, they hate arabs most of all, so they probably consider israel’s genocide to be based. they probably love the concept that they’re funding a war that will kill lots of jews and lots of arabs
It isn’t colonialist. It is a place we can force-project our military from in a valuable and very anti-west part of the world. If our military didn’t need it, we wouldn’t even be near the place.
These ding-a-lings have been supporting Israel (cynically) for a long time. First of all, they hate Muslims even more as a general rule, and for their silly fantasy that involves Yeshua flying back on a cloud, they think the Jews need to occupy Israel. This is why we have xtian zionists.
Yeah. They don’t really mind Israel killing non-white people and also concentrating Jewish people under a single state https://youtu.be/N3Taq2bekjQ
It always makes me laugh. These people are pro Israel for its government, which is right wing, but they hate Jewish people lol. That’s why you have the MGTs of the world talking about Jewish space lasers and Jews run Hollywood and Jews run the media.
Trump loves the poorly educated.
they could be zionist antisemites
Can we please have a mass shooting on one of these marches?
Nah, the people marching are the people who perform mass shootings.
That would be great if they would shoot each other!
Now you’re thinking like the FBI. Join their discords and spread a bunch of disinformation gossip pinning them against each other. Drive the leaders mad with paranoia of each other.
NGL, as someone that is EXTREMELY maga-passing, I could do this…and I am angry, and bored…hmm…
Give it some time.
No, you’re thinking about the left. It’s the left that hates itself.
Hates, nah but, unlike the npc-factory of the right, the left is very diverse and because of that you see more internal divisions.
Ask an ML if they think Nazis or Liberals are the more dangerous enemy. They will say liberals every time.
They’re just preparing for the inauguration.
Tbh why are these neo-nazis soo cringe tho.
You mean it doesn’t make them look badass to be carrying intentionally edgelord versions of a swastika flag while wearing matching skull balaclavas in front of the shake shack?
No
What a bunch of losers, waiting until the generation is dead that would beat them to a pulp in the streets with their Hurry Canes and walkers.
