COLUMBUS, Oh. — For the second weekend in a row, the city of Columbus has become the site of a demonstration.
The open display of swastikas and other incendiary symbols, along with provocative verbal messages, is leaving many communities disturbed and fueling national tensions over affairs that seem to arise from racist, antisemitic or misogynistic viewpoints.
Along with the recent events in Ohio and Michigan, the number of events created and appeared by white supremacists in the United States reached a new high last year at 282, according to the Anti-hate anti-defamation League.
Public gatherings of white nationalists or people with nazi flags have also spread out in recent years in cities across the United States.
