Orlando Sheriff To Charge Neo-Nazis That Participated In Orlando Rally

ORLANDO (VINnews) — Florida residents were outraged after a neo-Nazi rally took place in Orlando over the weekend.

Video footage posted to social media showed a group of neo-Nazis standing on the side of a public road in Orlando, yelling obscenities and calling out “white power.”

One of the videos posted by twitter user Luke Denton, who says he is of jewish descent and has family that were killed in the Holocaust, shows the neo-Nazis single him out as Jewish, telling him “He’s a jew, look at him!”

Another man tells him “You know how we can tell you’re a jew, we can tell by how close your eyes are together.”

The first man then mockingly says, “Oy vey! I better go tell somebody about this, let me call my Rabbi! Oy Gevalt!”

Here’s the original video that I took that day is Eastern Orlando. I really can’t believe we’re seeing Nazis in 2022. FYI: I am of Jewish descent and a large portion of my family was killed in the holocaust. #HateSpeech #hatersgonnahate #orlando #Florida #Antisemitism pic.twitter.com/lmUPTjHw65

Other footage shows the neo-Nazi thugs attacking a passerby.

My son just witnessed nazis in Orlando. He said there were dozens hanging on the corner. The guy getting assaulted got out of his car and pushed one of them. @fox35orlando pic.twitter.com/HUvNgI3zwl

According to a report by local Orlando outlet WKMG, one of the participants of the rally, Burt Colucci, was recently arrested in Arizona for an April incident in which he threatened a group of black men with a gun.

Orange County Sheriff John Mina released a statement on Sunday condemning the demonstrators, calling it an anti-Semitic demonstration, and hate speech.

I am aware of the anti-Semitic demonstration in Orange County. I along with the Orange County Sheriff’s Office deplore any type of hate speech. This hatred has no place in our society. Any reports of criminal activity will be thoroughly investigated.

In a Tuesday press conference, Mina further said that charges will be forthcoming against three individuals that participated in the demonstrations.

“We went out there but obviously we have to balance everyone’s right to freedom of speech, which can be very difficult for us especially when it’s a situation of hate speech,” Mina said. “Our officers are upset with that but, as far as the incident that happened with the vehicle, there are charges forthcoming to three individuals.”
