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.

        No they won’t. It’s posturing. Be careful around them, but if they shoot you for throwing paint then there’s going to be a big crackdown on them. They don’t want that. The guns are part of the show (and potentially to defend against other armed attacks).

          I’m not saying they will shoot you, just simply pointing out what the point is that op asked about.
