COLUMBUS, Ohio -
Social media posts began circulating around 1 p.m., showing about a dozen people marching wearing all black with masks that featured a red skull. Columbus Police told WSYX that no arrests were made as of 8 p.m. that same day.Columbus City Attorney Zach Klein also released a statement on X, formerly known as Twitter, addressing the situation. "This is not who we are, and we will not tolerate or normalize this disgusting ideology in any form," he said.American Jewish Committee regional director Lee C. Shapiro issued this statement in response to an illegal march by neo-Nazis in Short North.
"The vile display of hate by a small band of masked neo-Nazis in the Short North area is another sad example of the bigotry that we have witnessed across the country. AJC is grateful to the Columbus police for acting to quell this unauthorized march and for city officials’ forceful response to this act of cowardice. We cannot allow agitators to stoke fear in a city where diversity and tolerance is one of its hallmarks. Hate has no place in Columbus. Not now, not ever.
