Neighbors defend protest over neo-Nazi march - Race in America - MSNBC.com: "You can't allow people to come challenge a whole city and not think they weren't going to strike back, said Kenneth Allen, 47, who watched the violence begin near his home.
Authorities said there was little they could do to stop the group, because they did not apply for a parade permit and instead planned to walk along sidewalks.
They do have a right to walk on the Toledo sidewalks, said Mayor Jack Ford, who at one point confronted leaders of the mob and tried to settle them down.
A gang member in a mask threatened to shoot him, and others cursed him for allowing the march, the mayor said. He said he didn't know if the man who threatened him was actually armed, but he blamed gangs for much of the violence. The march had been called off because of the crowds, and the white supremacist had left."
I wonder what the press would have made out of it if an assembly of racist whites in D.C. during the Million Man March (less that 100k by the way) had rioted and burned a few buildings? The would have been charged with Civil Rights crimes and it would have been all over every rag in this country. But you let a bunch of unruly criminal black destroy a city block and it barely gets notice.
The only racism I have witnessed in this country in the last few years is the blatant anti-white blacks like Louis Farakahn, Jessee Jackson and Al Sharpton. It's OK to have your "black anger" and when you're down burn the neighborhood bar and steal a big screen TV. After all, 150 years ago someone offended your grandpa.
