Armed men in masks are reportedly patrolling the streets of Cincinnati’s Lincoln Heights neighborhood after a neo-Nazi group demonstrated in the area earlier this month.
The armed civilians are reportedly engaging in more than just a standard watch over their neighborhood, according to the Cincinnati Enquirer. The masked men have stopped cars, turned drivers away from the neighborhood, and have allegedly threatened to shoot a property owner. They’re reportedly protecting the area from neo-Nazi activists, but their tactics have rattled some residents.
The paper reviewed 911 calls since the February 7 neo-Nazi demonstration at the I-75 overpass near the neighborhood with civilian patrols and found that several callers had reported seeing the armed men, and some had confrontations with the individuals.
Jim Meister, a Lincoln Heights business owner, told the paper that one of the men pointed a rifle at him and threatened to shoot him.
