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.
The only good Nazi is a dead Nazi.
Aren’t nazis like literally the enemy? They were eradicated after WWII, they never stopped being the enemy. As soon as they’re back, it should be open season. Cmon America, use that military budget of yours.
Swastikas on an overpass in 2025—the audacity of irrelevance. A group of historical reenactors clinging to symbols of failure, only to be chased off by locals with more backbone than the entire justice system. No arrests? Predictable. Hate groups operate with impunity while law enforcement plays referee.
”Hate will never prevail,” but it sure gets a free pass when wrapped in a flag and parked in a U-Haul. The NAACP is right—this isn’t random; it’s the byproduct of policies that embolden the worst among us.
Good on Evendale’s residents. If the authorities won’t act, the people will. Let them retreat into their truck of shame—the future doesn’t belong to cowards with banners of extinction.
I worked in Evendale about a year. It’s a very white area, not particularly progressive, I’m sure the Nazi shitlords thought they were going to be safer and more tolerated.
Good on Evendale.
I don’t think arrests should be made. Our first amendment guarantees the right to free speech and demonstration, and that includes things we don’t necessarily like. Counter protests, identifying the Nazis, and naming and shaming are all fair game however.
