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.

    Carrying a flag does not mean that someone is not people. It can mean that they are people that do bad things. You have Zionists committing genocide under your nose that seem to carry a particular flag. Do you think Zionists, like Joe Biden (a proud Zionist) aren’t people? Are you willing to punch the President or worse because of your extremist beliefs?

      Netanyahu’s atrocities don’t justify your support for nazi shit.

      It’s a shame that lemmy’s centrists abandoned the high ground on this, but I didn’t. Nazis relinquished their humanity to become pinatas.
