Oregon neo-Nazi takes credit for anti-Semitic freeway signs ahead of 2017 eclipse

Drivers on headed north on Interstate 5 Saturday to view the eclipse were greeted with a jarring sight: anti-Semitic banners on overpasses.

Jimmy Marr, a Springfield neo-Nazi known for his public displays of racism and anti-Semitism, seemed to take credit for the banners Sunday on social media. Marr, 64, tweeted pictures of the signs and news articles about them.

When Gov. Kate Brown repudiated the banners on social media, Marr, who online goes by the username @GenocideJimmy, wrote "Truth is hate to those who hate the truth."

He also posted photos Sunday evening of people holding up new signs, which read "Bolshevik Jews perpetrated the Holodomor" and "Resist Racial Eclipse," flanked by swastikas.

I am ashamed of Oregonians who perpetrate this kind of evil, and hate the fact that I share space with such slime inside our borders. I was prompted to google "holodomor", a word unfamiliar to me, and feel sick that such an atrocity took place, along with so many others. I trust the visitors who came to enjoy the solar eclipse were able to do so in spite of the likes of "@GenocideJimmy". He only brings shame to our beautiful state. And to our entire planet, come to think of it.

Peace and blessings.
