"The protest, while very offensive, was not unlawful," a press release from the Evendale Police Department said.

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.

    It is such a thing that I can’t stand it.

    But everyone assumed I meant to lock them IN. Just consider if you were to lock them OUT and thus cut off their easy escape? With a crowd that got ugly and then they have to face the consequences of their disordered minds? So much personal growth would happen that day.
