Masked group marches through Ohio neighborhood with swastika flags
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.

Throw paint on them. Follow them to their car. Take a picture of their license plate. Its easier to follow them after you dump a pail of paint on them
they are probably armed
Police said the individuals were "armed with firearms."
Yup.
What's your point?
They will shoot you.
No they won't. It's posturing. Be careful around them, but if they shoot you for throwing paint then there's going to be a big crackdown on them. They don't want that. The guns are part of the show (and potentially to defend against other armed attacks).
but if they shoot you for throwing paint then there’s going to be a big crackdown on them
They're armed because they're looking to provoke a situation where they can commit murder and call it self defense.
It's called the Shittenhouse Defense
That is not true of everyone walking around carrying, but it is definitely true of these fuckwits.
In a normal legal system that would be provocation of self-defense state, which would cause the act of defending to be limited to actual defense but would require extensive acts of mitigating the threat in non-violent ways.
Yes, but these are nazis, so it's not like the sympathetic legal system is going to do anything. Also, these are nazis, so they're not very bright.
They're marching in the hopes that someone will attack them in a fashion they cannot reasonably flee from? Or does Ohio have stand your ground and we could knock the part about fleeing off?
Ohio doesn't require fleeing. All they have to say is that they thought someone was in danger to use lethal force. They could still be charged and it'd be up to ba jury. I don't think they'd do very well with a jury though. But somebody is still dead.
They’re marching in the hopes that someone will attack them in a fashion they cannot reasonably flee from?
They are marching in the hopes that someone will do anything even slightly untoward that they can interpret as a threat and open fire. They're confident that they will get a piece of shit judge like Rittenhouse got.
Or does Ohio have stand your ground and we could knock the part about fleeing off?
Do you suppose that they are legal scholars?
They’ll get cracked down on, maybe, but you’ll still be fucking shot
man you have not been following events
I'm not saying they will shoot you, just simply pointing out what the point is that op asked about.
have you done this sort of thing before?
I did antifa work in Palestine. Israeli facists dont wear masks, generally. Tactics vary.
And then? These are the good old boys, probably christians too. That's what they voted for.
DOX them
Sure, because there was no warning of this crap display of cowardice (masks), & everyone just happens to carry cans of paint around to do such a thing. 🙄
These things are going to keep happening. Go buy paint now and pour it into some wide mouth plastic bottles. If you want to stop facsim, you have to plan to do antifa work, just like any work
If I didn't have a family depending upon me, maybe. Escalation such as you describe carries a much higher risk of retaliation, and really is what they are doing this kind of thing for so they can spin it to fit their "victim" complex. While I don't have a problem giving my life for a worthwhile cause, I DO have a problem doing so in what will only in effect be a symbolic effort that is extremely unlikely to accomplish anything significant. I'd rather find more effective (and probably subtle) ways to undermine them.
Said the Germans in 1930s
Always fighting fire with fire tends to leave nothing but destruction in its wake. Do you really think the only valid way to resist is head-on? I guarantee the Nazis would have won if that were the primary tactic used to fight them.
The reason the Nazis lost is literally with violence
Along with plenty of subterfuge.
