Summary

A group displaying swastika flags on an I-75 overpass in Evendale, Ohio, was confronted by local residents, leading to tensions and a heavy police presence.

Residents pushed past police, seized a flag, and forced the demonstrators to retreat into a U-Haul truck.

Officials, including Cincinnati’s mayor and Hamilton County’s sheriff, condemned the demonstration.

The Jewish Federation and NAACP also spoke out, questioning where the demonstrators came from. The NAACP suggested the current administration’s policies may have emboldened the group.

No arrests were made.

      Aren’t nazis like literally the enemy? They were eradicated after WWII, they never stopped being the enemy. As soon as they’re back, it should be open season. Cmon America, use that military budget of yours.

    “No arrests were made”

    Because half the people in the U-Haul were probably co-workers.

    It baffles me that in this day in 2025, with hundreds of data points being reported hourly, that we can’t look at the obvious preferential treatment fascists get from their cop buddies. Had that been a Free Palestine protest and some racist nutjob showed up to harrass them, the cops would have cleared the bridge and arrested a handful of the protestors, MAYBE one of the nutjobs IF they were REALLY pushing it. Then they’d find a reason why that bridge can’t be used for protesting, release the nutjob with a “stern” warning and rake all the protestors across the coals with any minor “disturbing the peace” type charges so they have a record for next time.

    Oh was Elon in town? They should be careful, he might shut down their local hospital and put a high schooler in charge.

    The swastika is like brandishing a sword and should be banned from all public use except museums.

    hmm I wonder if anything happened recently that these traitors felt encouraged that they can be out and about nazis.

    I know no one publicly made a sieg heil or anything. that’s what every major media outlet said.

    residents pushed past police

    as usual the pigs weren’t doing anything because they’re part of the group
