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.
Let me guess: there were good people on both sides in that masked group.
the masked group is just one of the sides

hate and bigotry is literally the only thing republicans agree on
They’re just preparing for the inauguration.
Police are investigating…sure I bet a few officers were in the march. Yes because Trump going allow nazi the only right to free speech. When fhe protest begin Trump will send in the troops to put them down.
I mean why wouldn’t they? Americans told them to be Nazi and proud this election after all.
I’m more shocked that they wear masks. They hate masks and they have no reason to hide their faces.
“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.
Don’t worry, he’ll get pushback on that statement and then declare Ohio the fifth reich. He always takes the right stance first then manages to flip flop to worse than he was asked to
Considering this was happening before the election was declared as well, I’m willing to take the stance that Ohio is just a magnet for trash Nazis.
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
This is America.
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.
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?
Always punch Nazis. It’s pretty simple.

Jury nullification.
Someone should make an educational video on jury nullification and find a way to make it go viral on tiktok.
I see the propaganda has worked well. You’re more concerned about cosplay Nazis than the real Nazis committing genocide under your nose. You going to go punch a Zionist now?
They’re Nazis.
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
There’s no such thing as a peaceful Nazi.
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.
Get ready to see a lot more of this.
This is America now.
The majority voted for this. We wanted this.
Don’t lump me into the collective “we”.
We’re part of it. It’s our country and the majority decided to take America down this path.
We are “we” because we are part of this society.
I didn’t vote for it. I know, very clearly, what direction we’re headed in. Anyone that didn’t just float through their history classes with barely passing grades should know. But I still accept that I’m part of it. WE are a very stupid society.
Everyone shares some level of accountability, and I know nobody wants to hear it and will stomp and huff and gnash their teeth at the notion, but it’s true. Some carry a much larger chunk of that responsibility than others, from of course the people who didn’t care and didn’t vote, and the people who cared and still didn’t vote, to just the people who rolled their eyes every time someone posted a “political” picture in /r/funny and had to start a 300+ comment deep thread about how stupid politics is, down to the small pieces held by everyone who did everything right but never valued their community, didn’t make a stand against people saying and doing things we didn’t agree with, and lets not forget everyone who never involved themselves in their local elections even enough to vote for the people who represent them, they allowed many to go unchallenged and those people went on to prop up a government run by and representing a minority ideology.
Yup.
Democracies only work for average citizens if average citizens inform themselves responsibly and vote responsibly. Americans are AWFUL at that.
I’m honestly ashamed of our country. Never really felt that before. At least not to this degree.
3 of these guys marching down the street: a joke.
3,000 of these guys marching down the street: a nightmare.
It would be a shame if Nazis got massacred and noone saw what happened.
Back in Normandy and Carentan Americans used to call that target practice, make America great again please.
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.
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.
My sister and I are in Columbus for a concert and we were in a store right across the street from this happening. Shook us up pretty good. I have never seen something like that before.
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.
