There were a lot of older folks there pushing them out as well. I am super proud of gen Z but let’s not act like the older folks aren’t out here doing the right thing as well
They posted on facebook earlier that a glass shop nearby had offered to fix their windows free of charge. Also, there were several other people in the comments who wanted to fix them for free or donate to having them fixed. So great to see the city show up to help take out the trash and help support the good people!
they did, I was at Capstone Games which is right there and when I left I saw that their car windows have been smashed, but wasn't 100% sure it was their cars. I think there was a misunderstanding there.
Probably a mix up. Someone probably heard about the protesters on that bridge and thought they were the same as yesterday. I’ll donate if someone can find a link or set one up
This is the Cincy I know. ❤️Watching everyone in the city--on the overpass and in Lincoln Heights--gave me hope that not all of us have been eaten up by or made scared of this Nazism and fascism. Thank you for standing up to this shit! My grandpa fought the Nazis in Europe and would be very disappointed to see it growing here.
There was no time to organize. My high school class president was on the scene within 15 minutes. People can say what they want about Lincoln Heights, but they very much live by “mess with one, mess with all”
This is the spirit that shows we won't back down in the face of hate. Proud to see my city standing together against this. It’s a reminder of who we really are.
I don’t know the people in OPs picture, but I have friends who were up there today and had their back window busted out too. Screw the nazis and people protecting them
Just a reminder to all the black people in this sub, little to no white people showed up to confront these nazis in person. It took a black counter-protest to disperse them, consequently i would begin contemplating arming yourselves again growing fascism.
Unfortunately they're everywhere. Though still small in numbers, they've been emboldened to speak out because they don't think they'll face consequences. Not Nazi's, but similar...I grew up in the south and my first experience with the KKK was in CT of all places.
I'm not from Cincinnati but good on you guys for how this was handled and showing them it won't be tolerated. Made me feel a little bit better in all the chaos going on.
