Lincoln Heights

Prosecutor Connie Pillich called the Feb. 7 rally "reprehensible," but said none of the conduct by the hate group is prosecutable.

The report by 21 CP Solutions makes eight suggestions for changes in the wake of a February rally in which a dozen masked demonstrators waved swastika flags and brandished weapons on a highway overpass between Lincoln Heights and Evendale.
