Summary
Body cam footage revealed that neo-Nazis who marched in Columbus’ Short North on Nov. 16 were not arrested after police determined they were not the aggressors in a fight.
The group, known as “Hate Club 1844,” claimed they were pepper-sprayed and attacked with cans and vegetables as they marched, waved swastika flags, and yelled slurs.
Witness testimony corroborated that a confrontation started when someone tried to grab their flag.
Police detained, but later released, the group, citing insufficient evidence for charges.
The march drew widespread condemnation and a peaceful counter-march the next day.
American “freedom” protecting Nazis never made sense. It’s like the divide by zero error of freedom.
