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.
Under what laws was it acceptable to beat people until shit comes out of them? It sounds like you just want an excuse to become violent whenever you feel justified.
I’m a pacifist, but punching Nazis has been self defence for 80+ years.
No it hasn’t. It is propaganda from Zionists to get you to think and behave radically anytime someone gets called a Nazi. It is a way to get you to think irrationally and to become a violent thug whenever you feel it is convenient to attack someone.
No, I’m old enough to know the difference.
If you’re suggesting people literally carrying Nazi flags aren’t Nazis, you’re delusional.

Okay, your comments are clearly in bad faith and I’m done wasting time on you.

Appeasement is a terrible idea when we’re talking about Nazis, it has never worked and will never work. I don’t get why people are so ignorant about history. I guess you’re not part of a minority that would get brutalized or murdered under their rule? Otherwise you probably wouldn’t attempt to play nice with literal Nazis.
It’s really irritating to watch this shit unfold as a German. You guys are basically begging fascists to take over at this point.
Who is begging fascist to take over? It sounds like you’re begging anarchy to take over. I seriously question people’s intent like this that act like there should be no laws in the United States and that their radical feelings are way more important. I don’t see any of these cosplay Nazis murdering Jewish people anywhere on the scale of Zionists. Do you? Tell me, why are you such a strong advocate of punching cosplay Nazis but not an advocate of punching those committing the murder and genocide today?
Can… can we maybe just punch / kill both? The Isrealis are acting a LOT like Nazis these days. I’m cool with both.
Easy.
Nazis aren’t people. They cashed out their people card the second they picked up that flag.
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.
Always punch Nazis. It’s pretty simple.

They’re Nazis.
Jury nullification.
Someone should make an educational video on jury nullification and find a way to make it go viral on tiktok.
I see the propaganda has worked well. You’re more concerned about cosplay Nazis than the real Nazis committing genocide under your nose. You going to go punch a Zionist now?
Nazis bad :)
You’re going to be really disappointed if anyone ever tells you it’s raining cats and dogs.
Alright then Neville
Hey. Peace in our time.
The laws of engagement in WW2? I remember they were apparently building concentration camps and rounding up and murdering the Jews, the gays, the gypsies, the anarchists, the communists, the Slavs, the mentally disabled, allied prisoners of war etc etc. I think right about then the law was ok with fucking-up Nazis… but I’m not an historian so best to double check this comment.
Over half the planet was in agreement about fucking up Nazis at one point
There’s no such thing as a peaceful Nazi.
You will never get the answer. Not here on Lemmy or Reddit. These are keyboard badasses.
