TOLEDO, Ohio (AP) - Police used tear gas to break up a rock-throwing crowd that had gathered to protest a planned march Saturday by the National Socialist Movement.
At least two dozen members of a Roanoke, Va.-based group that calls itself "America's Nazi Party" had gathered at Wilson Park just before noon and were to march under police protection.

CNN covering it too. Holy Toledo.
The nazis are long gone..They never marched..This is a bunch of roving vandals..breaking into homes and throwing rocks at homes..and some looting has occured.
It's a great excuse to act up..IMO.It is definitely criminal.
I think that what this situation needs right now is for Toledo to begin their first annual running of the bulls, as soon as possible!!!
This has been an ongoing roving riot for several hours now, new incidents are still being reported, including live shots on Fox right now of gangs breaking down doors of private houses.
Toledo councilman (Democrat) making all sorts of excuses. "I see nothing. All quiet here. No gang activity here. Not sure how much of this is really racial."
Meanwhile camera pulls back from the looting and the police are standing around less than 2 blocks away. Who's the police chief? Lemme guess which party he belongs to...
I think I heard there were a dozen neo-Nazis there and they turned tail and ran when the protestors (hundreds) showed up. March
never happened, yup.
Cops 3 blocks away, milling about on horseback, apparently clueless. WHAT is going on here?
How ironic.
Headline should read: Neo-Nazi's outclass Neo-Commie/Marxists.
They are all snakes with different skins and each are all too willing to dictate and stamp out freedom. I hope it gets rescheduled as well, this is America after all.
This is pathetic...the good guys (the cops) are getting hurt for doing their jobs protecting people who hide and deplore our constitution. The best way to deal with this 24 person "mob" is ignore them.
Funny thing about this new age nazis, I can't help but think if these guys lived in the 30s-40s in Nazi Germany they'd probably be the first one's pitched in the showers for being "life unworthy of life". Their IQ's collectively must not be too much higher than a rock.
Just a damn shame that the owners of the house being looted weren't armed.
If you hit these people where it really hurts (their egos) you could put some real hurt on their 'cause'--without firing a shot, throwing a punch, or breaking much of anything...
Howling laughter, pointing at them, followed by more laughter...wow.
I bet that would shut down just about anybody's parade.
Forced entry by a crowd of 30 or so thugs with no cops in sight.
Smoke coming out of the house now. Will probably soon go up in flames, while the police stay away. Wouldn't want to hurt any of these 'good kids'.
Flames coming from the house now
And now the house is burning.
