Nazi Gathering Turns Violent; 6 Arrested

TOLEDO, Ohio - A crowd that gathered to protest a white supremacists' march Saturday turned violent, throwing baseball-sized rocks at police, vandalizing vehicles and stores, and setting fire to a neighborhood bar, authorities said.

The march was called off just before it was to begin at noon, and the mayor and a local minister tried to negotiate with the rioters. But their efforts produced little response, and police prepared to forcibly remove a crowd of several hundred mid-afternoon.

"This has a real potential for a lot of bloodshed," Police Chief Mike Navarre warned a large group of officers, part of the 150 deployed to provide security for the march.

Police in helicopters, cruisers, bicycles and on horses chased bands of youths throughout the afternoon. Officers wearing gas masks fired tear gas canisters and flash-bang devices designed to stun suspects, only to see the groups reappear nearby and resume throwing rocks and bottles. At least six people were arrested.

Navarre said officers had a report of a man shot in the area, but they had not found a victim. No other injuries had been reported, Navarre said.

At least two dozen members of the National Socialist Movement, which calls itself "America's Nazi Party," gathered at a city park just before noon and were to march under police protection. Organizers of the march said they were demonstrating against black gangs that they said were harassing white residents in the neighborhood.

Violence broke out about one-quarter of a mile away from the park along the planned one-mile route. By midafternoon, Navarre said he believed all the members of the Nazi group had left the city.

Thomas Frisch, 76, said a large group of men destroyed the exterior of a gas station next to his home of 30 years.

"A whole big gang started to come in here. Next thing you know, they're jumping on the car. Then they overturned it. Then they started on the building, breaking windows, ripping the bars off," he said.

Keith White, a black resident, criticized city officials for initially allowing the march.

"They let them come here and expect this not to happen?" said White, 29.

Yeah, show that you reject Nazism by burning things down. Brilliant.

The Allies have burned a half of the Europe by showing they reject the Nazism...

 

[Skirmisher]

Its not like they burned down the parliament.

"Police in helicopters, cruisers, bicycles and on horses chased bands of youths throughout the afternoon."

That is funny. Where were the rollerscater police?

 

[Volum]

The best way to show your against Nazism, flip over a car!

 

[DBear]

Keith White is a jackwit. Nobody made the protestors start rioting and looting. Stuff like that does nothing but help the Nazis.

 

[CruddyLeper]

I've always been uncomfortable with people who are "anti" anything. Even Nazis.

Nevermind what you are against... what are you FOR?

 

[AceChilla]

Anti Nazi'ist are often the biggest facist out there. My experience.

 

[IglooDame]

I'd say the Nazis' mission was successfully accomplished.

 

[CruddyLeper]

ON THE OTHER HAND... technically the Battle of Cable Street was not that dissimilar to this event.

An event of which the British (especially Cockneys) are justly proud.

 

[Skirmisher]

From another source prior to the event. The nazi leader was looking for a fight.

TOLEDO, Ohio -- Twenty educational, religious and community groups have organized a rally they hope will take the steam out of a neo-Nazi march through a north Toledo neighborhood.

...

The leader of the National Socialist Movement's chapter in Roanoke, Va., said the rally won't sway the movement's support base.

"We stated repeatedly ... that the local blacks and their political leaders are a bunch of loudmouthed cowards, and that we expect that, when confronted with their criminal behavior by strong and organized white people, would run, hide, and whine. And it appears that is exactly what is happening," Bill White said in a statement.

"Loudmouthed cowards" are fighting words, arent they?

Why must Nazis be the most civil element of society?

Bhuddists win that contest hands down.

Yeah the nazis are cunning. They have always used the tactics of making them look like the victims, while they actually do all they can to provoke people to take action against them. Sneaky peasants they are.

 

[Warman17]

So civil even when they're protesting by burning things, they'll only burn themselves

(NOTE: poor taste/sarcasm)

 

[The Yankee]

Bhuddists win that contest hands down.

So, New York should export some Buddhists to Ohio. I see where you're going with this. Just don't make me export my father!

I had no idea that NY had a surfeit of Buddists. I mean, the rep doesn't bear that out.

 

[The Yankee]

We've got plenty of everything. Even Republicans!

 

[amadeus]

After this behavior, one has to wonder whether if the Nazis have a point.

 

[Stylesjl]

The Nazi's have a right to free speech even if they are wrong
