Residents of the historically Black Lincoln Heights were dismayed after Ohio police failed to arrest the Neo-nazis threatening the community.

Locals, including religious leaders, are referring to these armed individuals as the “Lincoln Heights Protectors.”

A protest and a three-hour town hall in Lincoln Heights revolved around questions about law enforcement response to a neo-Nazi group that demonstrated just outside the predominantly Black village Friday.

Despite police protection for the fascists, members of the historically black community of Lincoln Heights quickly mobilized and drove the Nazis out of town.

Cincinnati Mayor Aftab Pureval says the city is considering possible ordinances in response to last week’s neo-Nazi demonstration. It took place outside of Cincinnati, on an overpass between Evendale and the historically Black community of Lincoln Heights.

Tension remain high in Lincoln Heights after a neo-Nazi protest Friday. As armed men patrol the neighborhood's streets some say it's too disruptive, while others say they're just ensuring their own safety.
