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.

      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 am an American (and Jewish) and I have no fucking clue what they’re talking about. It has gotten worse and worse and worse.
