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.

Get ready to see a lot more of this.

This is America now.

The majority voted for this. We wanted this.

[–] WhyFlip@lemmy.world 9 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Don't lump me into the collective "we".

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 11 points 2 days ago

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.

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

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.

You only hide your face if you're proud of something that you're probably not supposed to be proud of...

[–] enbyecho@lemmy.world 12 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Or you fear being harassed by the cops.... oh wait nvm.

[–] DelightfullyDivisive@lemmy.world 15 points 3 days ago (5 children)

Exactly. Some of them may actually be cops. They always get some number of facists.

WE CALL THEM NAZIS ABC

[–] A_Random_Idiot@lemmy.world 22 points 3 days ago

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.

It would be a shame if Nazis got massacred and noone saw what happened.

Police are investigating, and no arrests have been reported.

This will be normalized within the next 4 years.

When the masks come off, that’s when it’s really bad.

The only correct response to this is delivered at muzzle velocity.

Let me guess: there were good people on both sides in that masked group.

I wonder what the amount of Trump gear vs Nazi flags was. It's also very ironic how when Nazi's march in the streets without a permit the cops just block off the street with their cars and perform crowd control to "help protect the city" (the Nazis). And when people of color march without a permit because cops killed another person over something stupid they get met with riot gear, tear gas, and rubber bullets.

It's going to get so much worse before it gets better ...

~~Masked group~~ Nazis marches through Ohio neighborhood with swastika flags

FTFY ABC News.

[–] MystikIncarnate@lemmy.ca 51 points 4 days ago (9 children)

I will never again wonder how a group like the KKK was able to form, thrive, and persist for so long, inside the USA.

So glad I don't live there. I'm worried about you all.

Good luck.

Punch Nazis in the Face Again.

[–] 800XL@lemmy.world 19 points 3 days ago

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.

[–] Unlocalhost@lemmy.world 10 points 3 days ago

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.

[–] StarlightDust@lemmy.blahaj.zone 126 points 4 days ago (25 children)

They appear to have been arrested, traveling in a U-haul.

Don't worry, it won't be long and they will not need to mask anymore.

[–] jagged_circle@feddit.nl 21 points 3 days ago (27 children)

Throw paint on them. Follow them to their car. Take a picture of their license plate. Its easier to follow them after you dump a pail of paint on them
