The Toledo Riot: Different Views

Remember the Riot in Toledo recently when Nazis showed up to march around the neighborhood and blacks rioted?

I thought it would be interesting to look at different sides and viewpoints of that story.

This is the website for the "National Socialist Party" a.k.a American Nazis. These are the guys who showed up in Toledo. There's some interesting audio there that will give you insight on their view and what their objectives were when they went to march in Toledo. There are sane rationalities, as well as nutty viewpoints.

and This is a different view from the "Cincinnati Black Blog" which sees the city of Toledo and the police as allowing the Nazis to attack the blacks.

It's interesting to see how both sides talk about how the media is distorting what really happen.

But, this is not a sport where you cheer for the home team. The nazi group does not represent whites, and the black rioters do not represent blacks.


The Nazis went to Toledo because they heard there were blacks harassing white residents. The problem though, is well...they are Nazis. Perhaps something really did need to be done if in fact there was harassing going on. But even the Nazis should have known that all they would do by their presence is add fuel to the fire. The rioters on the other hand, were complete idiots. Throwing rocks at an a ambulance arriving on the scene is not "defending themselves" as some have claimed they were doing.
