Some residents of Lincoln Heights, Ohio, are arming themselves to stand watch over the town of about 3,000 in direct response to a Neo-Nazi march in February, reports NBC.

The Neo-Nazi march was staged along a roadway overpass that overlooks the majority Black community along the busy I-75 corridor, about 10 miles north of Cincinnati. Protesters waved swastika flags and shouted racial slurs.

Some Lincoln Heights residents who were appalled at the display have geared up in military-style clothing, openly carry firearms, and patrol public areas including near school bus stops.
