Summary

Body cam footage revealed that neo-Nazis who marched in Columbus’ Short North on Nov. 16 were not arrested after police determined they were not the aggressors in a fight.

The group, known as “Hate Club 1844,” claimed they were pepper-sprayed and attacked with cans and vegetables as they marched, waved swastika flags, and yelled slurs.

Witness testimony corroborated that a confrontation started when someone tried to grab their flag.

Police detained, but later released, the group, citing insufficient evidence for charges.

The march drew widespread condemnation and a peaceful counter-march the next day.

“We do this all over the U.S., and we’ve never been attacked like this, man,” the driver told police from his seat in the U-Haul.

It's because you guys get back in the U-Haul too quickly. Stay awhile. Find out.

I've been wondering, do they u-haul to these places to try and avoid detection? Like FBI tracking their movements? Or is it just because they're broke?

Not sure, but the closest idea I have is: quick, anonymous, and holds a lot of people

You have to give Uhaul a copy of your driver's license to rent a truck. If the plates are caught, a detective can run down when and where it was rented, and therefore by whom, should they choose to put the legwork in.

Though it's probably better than most personal vehicles in the last 10 years that are basically snitching smartphones on wheels.

Its mainly a defense against social media and open data gathering by antifacists. These shitheads used to roll up in their cars and get tracked back to their day jobs, where they were inevitably fired.

Renting a uhaul makes it very difficult for civilian action.
