US based neo-nazi group “hate club” held a flag wave in Cincinnati today where they waved swastika flags and carried rifles. Police blocked off the entrances and exits to the overpass where the nazis were to protect them from anyone interfering.

As hate club attempted to pack up into their uhual and leave, a group of people broke through the police barricades and rushed at the group of Nazis. Police physically pushed people back as they helped the Nazis get away.

Here is a street camera view showing the police blocking off one of the entrances. They were there protecting the nazis before any opposition showed up.

Update: it appears the little nazi boys club ended up scurrying to get away in their uhual *because* of the group that rushed through police barricades.

It was a group of young kids and they got at least one of their swastika flags and burned it on a livestream lmao
“Hitler been dead y’all living in the ‘40s”

It was almost entirely Black folks responding to the nazis, Black youth to be more specific, and other youth of color. Not only were the cops protecting the nazis as usual, but other footage shows police getting violent and pushing Black people down to the ground in order to protect the nazis and get them away. Just layers and layers of racism.

The response today was honestly remarkable. This wasn’t a planned counter-action. It was a spontaneous response that was both community defense and direct action. They still persisted and showed no fear in directly confronting nazi scum. And they made the unbadged nazis leave.

Protect and support the kids. They are leading the way.
