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.

    “The neo-Nazis in the back of the U-Haul said they had no identification and refused to provide their names or say where they were from.”

    It can’t be proven they even exist, let alone were the victims of some sort of violence.

      Wow that’s funny because I’ve seen countless videos of police brutally beating and arresting people walking down the street minding their own business for the ‘crime’ of not handing over their ID when asked.
