A group of demonstrators wearing black clothing, some holding Nazi flags with swastikas, quickly left a Cincinnati-area overpass when confronted by residents. The incident, captured on video by NBC affiliate WLWT, showed the demonstrators getting into a U-Haul box truck and leaving after residents approached them with police officers present. The demonstration, which included a sign posted over the freeway and individuals pacing with Nazi flags, took place in the village of Evendale, about 12 miles north of downtown Cincinnati. While the protest was deemed offensive, it was not unlawful according to Evendale police, who stated that no arrests were made. Some residents, including those from nearby Lincoln Heights, criticized the lack of police action and believed the demonstrators should have been arrested for disrespecting their heritage. Cincinnati Mayor Aftab Pureval condemned the demonstration, stating that messages of hate have no place in the region. The Jewish Federation of Cincinnati also expressed deep disturbance over the incident, reaffirming their commitment to promoting a society free of antisemitism and hate. No specific group has claimed responsibility for the demonstration.
