Masked group marches through Ohio neighborhood with swastika flags
Source: ABC News
The governor of Ohio and city officials in Columbus are speaking out after a group of masked individuals marched through the streets of the Ohio capital city Saturday dressed in black and holding flags with swastikas on them.
The unidentified people were spotted around 1 p.m. walking through the Short North neighborhood, according to Columbus ABC affiliate WSYX. Images and videos of the marchers went viral on social media sites.
The Columbus Police were dispatched, and the investigation is ongoing.
"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. "Neo-Nazis -- their faces hidden behind red masks -- roamed streets in Columbus today, carrying Nazi flags and spewing vile and racist speech against people of color and Jews. There were reports that they were also espousing white power sentiments."

Why were they unidentified? Because the cowards were masked. They don't have any courage to display. Just cosplay clothing.

(133 posts)once the new administration has assumed control. Hell, their ranks will be bolstered just by Trumps J6 pardons alone. Its the new reality in the USA: hate hasnt merely been normalized; no, over half of the voting public explicitly voted for it.
