Destruction at the Ohio Statehouse. Governor DeWine – We urge you to protect the People’s House.

For the second time in three weeks, the Ohio Statehouse fell victim to extensive vandalism, as protesting vandals (anarchists) yesterday afternoon in broad daylight defaced much of the Statehouse grounds, including the Ohio State Motto emblem, the war memorials, The Holocaust Memorial, and the steps and pillars at the Ohio Statehouse. OCA has learned through a 9-1-1 call recording that the Columbus Police Department was aware of the protest and the stopping of traffic on High Street, but as you will hear in the audio, the officer tells the man whose car has been stopped by protestors that there is nothing they can do, as Columbus Mayor Andrew Ginther had told the police to stand down.
