LINCOLN HEIGHTS, Ohio — Nearly every morning for the last month, Jay has been waking up before sunrise to drive around the streets of Lincoln Heights, patrolling neighborhood bus stops to make sure children are getting to school safely.

“We have a very tight community, so all of our kids, they know us,” he said. But for anyone outside the community, Jay’s presence might be a mystery. He wears a face covering along with tactical vests, and Jay is not his real name, which he asked not to use to prevent harassment from hate groups.

He’s a member of the Lincoln Heights Safety and Watch program, an initiative that started shortly after Feb. 7, when a neo-Nazi group waving swastika flags and shouting racial slurs demonstrated on a highway overpass just on the edge of this majority-Black community about 30 minutes north of Cincinnati.

Officers from Evendale, which borders Lincoln Heights, and the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office both responded that day. No arrests were made, and Evendale police officers did not take down any names or identifying information from members of the neo-Nazi group, according to the mayor’s office. The Hamilton County Prosecutor’s office is currently investigating the incident to see if criminal charges could be filed.

Watch how the 2nd Amendment gets revoked for them even with OH having "open carry".

1. " police officers did not take down any names or identifying information"

Smells like dereliction of duty IMO

2. Saw the video of a cop helping them get into a U-Haul truck

Without any seatbelts or harnesses, pretty sure that’s a violation of Ohio law.

3. I drive through this community 2-3x a week depending on X-way backups.

I’m obviously not local and see these guys often. Give em a wave and smile. Yeah, they’re armed but to me, it’s like seeing the cops in Europe in the airports…no big deal. I certainly understand why they’re concerned.

The sheriff’s patrol was pretty conciliatory toward the nazi visitors and did their utmost to make them feel comfortable. Stopped short of ordering in coffee and donuts for them.

So I’m good with neighborhood patrols (especially since Lincoln heights doesn’t have a village police force and depends on the county sheriff).

4. Sounds like the nazi huggers were "Patriot Front"

since they have been seen (with pics captured) using UHauls to transport their ilk.

6. Good to see so much faith in their police in this community.

8. Good

We need more people to say this. MY community MY neighbors.

And to the police?

Awful they have to use their time this way.
