Officials in Columbus, Ohio, blasted a parade of masked people who marched down the streets with swastika flags Saturday afternoon.

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.

    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 …
