Summary

A group displaying swastika flags on an I-75 overpass in Evendale, Ohio, was confronted by local residents, leading to tensions and a heavy police presence.

Residents pushed past police, seized a flag, and forced the demonstrators to retreat into a U-Haul truck.

Officials, including Cincinnati’s mayor and Hamilton County’s sheriff, condemned the demonstration.

The Jewish Federation and NAACP also spoke out, questioning where the demonstrators came from. The NAACP suggested the current administration’s policies may have emboldened the group.

No arrests were made.

    Remember: these neo-Nazis are usually tourists from interestate. Look at Patriot Front for example, where arrests proved what antifascists already disclosed - the arrested were often from other states around the country. They do these rallies to provide an illusion of decent membership and locality, but it’s complete bullshit. Same strategy is used in other countries too.

    While I haven’t seen a source yet, I see a post already claiming the names of all 5, only one of them is even from Ohio. If true, it’s completely unsurprising.
