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.

    Yup.

    Democracies only work for average citizens if average citizens inform themselves responsibly and vote responsibly. Americans are AWFUL at that.

    I’m honestly ashamed of our country. Never really felt that before. At least not to this degree.
