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.
Agreed (mostly).
Just because something isn’t illegal, that doesn’t make it morally right. The inverse also applies.
Even though the First Amendment prohibits government suppression of speech, it doesn’t mean that the expression is immune to consequences from society including non-governmental suppression.
I think the “no arrests were made” observation was meant in relation to your last point, not the first at all.
Never said it was morally right but what is lawful isn’t necessarily moral and the cops are there to prevent things that are against the law.
I don’t think we want a moral police to become a thing…
