PROTEST TURNS INTO RIOT

No sensible person has any time for nazis, neo or otherwise. That said, street thugs in Ohio are at least as bad as the Nazis they were supposedly protesting against:

Rioters in Toledo, Ohio have attacked police and set fire to property and overturned cars, apparently in protest at a planned neo-Nazi march.

A small neo-Nazi group of around 20 had gathered in a park to hold a march escorted by police.

The group dispersed when the violence broke out, and the march was cancelled.

The mayor of Toledo, Jack Ford, said the violence was triggered by gang members angry that the neo-Nazi march had been allowed.

Mr Ford said people accused him of protecting the Nazis, and a masked man threatened to kill him when he tried to calm the protesters.

Several policemen and fire-fighters were injured in the brawl, which at one point is thought to have involved about 600 people.

Some people just aren't into the freedom of speech thing.

Update: What do you do when you find out neo-Nazis are going to march through your neighbourhood? Why you attempt to raze the neighbourhood, even though the march has been cancelled:

It wasn't enough to stop an angry mob that included gang members from looting and burning a neighborhood bar, smashing the windows of a gas station and hurling rocks and bottles at police on Saturday.

A scorched earth policy in Toledo.
