Majority-Black Town in Ohio Launches Armed Watch after Neo-#Nazi, #Klan Provocations

from #WorldOutlook
February 28, 2025

On February 7, about a dozen masked men, some of them carrying AR-15 semi-automatic rifles, drove a U-Haul truck to a freeway overpass at Lincoln Heights’ edge. The men, dressed in black, shouted racist slurs and waived black flags with red swastikas on them. Enraged Lincoln Heights residents soon approached to counter protest. Local police who converged on the scene from the nearby town of #Evandale, across the highway, appeared cordial toward some of the white supremacists. As the crowd of Lincoln Heights residents swelled, the ultra rightists got back on their truck and drove off. Counter protesters burned the Nazi flags left behind.

World-Outlook · Majority-Black Town in Ohio Launches Armed Watch after Neo-Nazi, Klan ProvocationsThis article reports on efforts by residents of Lincoln Heights, a suburb of Cincinnati, Ohio, to defend themselves against provocations by neo-Nazi thugs and Ku Klux Klansmen by organizing counter-mobilizations and an armed watch. Nearly 83% of the town’s approximately 3,000 residents are African American. Lincoln Heights was the first self-governing Black community to be founded north of the Mason-Dixon line, which divided the Union from the Confederate South during the U.S. civil war.

Ok... it's become apparent that I'm going to need extra hands for my little video series pilot for class... I have dire need of a drone operator with an aerial camera who's willing to help for kudos and a free lunch in the Cincinnati area.
I'll process the raw footage, but need footage of 4 locations. Please DM if interested.
Please share for broader reach

🚨 DOGE to terminate Erlanger, #Kentucky ( #Cincinnati, #Ohio ) EPA facility lease, which could impact emergency response times. The facility is one of only four in the U.S.

Inside is 20,000 square feet of emergency response equipment that can be sent out to #EPA regions or the personnel there can drive to a major incident such as a train derailment or pipeline break

Terminating the lease means the equipment will have to come either from New Jersey or Nevada which will increase the response time from just a few hours to 12 or more.
