>City Of Harrisburg Condemns Neo-Nazi March

The city of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, has issued a strong condemnation of a neo-Nazi march that took place downtown on Saturday. The march involved a group of individuals carrying swastika flags and chanting hate-filled slogans. The incident is currently under investigation by the Harrisburg police.

The group, consisting of around a dozen people dressed in red shirts and black balaclavas, was seen marching down a street while chanting "white power" and flying black flags with white swastikas, according to PennLive. Some reports also suggest that the group was chanting "if they're Black, send them back."

In a post on the city's Facebook page, officials stated, "Our city is one of love and peace, and their message of hate is not welcome." Mayor Wanda Williams and Police Commissioner Thomas Carter are aware of the incident and are actively involved in the investigation, as reported by WGAL.

The Jewish Federation of Greater Harrisburg also released a statement, saying, "The federation is committed to ensuring that antisemitism and other forms of hate do not infiltrate any space- whether Jewish or not - in which we come together to work, worship, and gather," as per Fox43.

The investigation into the incident is ongoing.
