Seems that the blacks in question were very violent to begin with. I feel for their victims.

[Cicero]

I see they've changed the lying headline that blamed the rioting on White Supremacists. Or maybe that was a different source, since AP stories often get their headlines changed.

"We just didn't have the resources on hand to arrest all of them."

Fine. Next time just shoot them. You'll get no complaints from me.

[CROSSHIGHWAYMAN]

When Mayor Jack Ford and a local minister tried to calm the rioting, they were cursed for allowing the march, and Ford said a masked gang member threatened to shoot him.

Seems like the nazis are a more tolerant and much more peaceful gang in that town.

Is there a good source for STILL photos of this riot?

In Pittsburgh PA, we had riots in the Hill District after Martin Luther King's assassination. Many businesses burned. Guess what? Almost forty years later, that area has never been rebuilt back to what it was before.

Some people never learn.

IMO these days it getting harder to differentiate between the hate speech of this group and that of many on the Far Left. Why no rioting Conservatives when the Lefties trot out their polemics?

Keith White, a black resident, criticized city officials for allowing the march in the first place.

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


You mean protest with out being violent and trying to blow stuff up?

Hell Yea I expect them to come there and march as is their right and I expect you to protest like a man and not some punk...gee,asking too much

They were mostly "gang members who had real or imagined grievances and took it as an opportunity to speak in their own way," Ford said.

....can you hear us now?...we be speaking in our own way

Crash...*# Pow....#*...Bam *@#....Loot n Scoot

[pollyannaish]

What ever happened to the whole concept of "Two wrongs don't make a right?"

Somewhere along the way, our culture abandoned that. Too bad.

Not that I know of.

[skaterboy]

Its pretty funny the press is saying this was anti nazi riots when they were anything but and its even more funny that this hood gets tore up and then the people that live there will be whining about racism as they walk 20 miles to get a loaf of bread when its their own idiots that did it

[toddlintown]

2004??

[drt1]

Great minds DO think alike don't they. :-)

[Firefigher NC]

These idiots were just looking for an excuse to raise hell.

[marsh_of_mists]

"Organizers said they were demonstrating against black gangs they said were harassing white residents."

Well, the rioters sure proved them wrong, didn't they! Yes, neo-Nazis are dirtbags, but they have the right to protest just as much as they want. Also, these violent rioters probably drove quite a few disaffected working-class whites towards the Nazis with their actions, far more than the Nazis' dippy little protest could do.

Why no rioting Conservatives when the Lefties trot out their polemics?

Because conservatives are adults.

[GeronL]

who are the bigger idiots?? the stupid neo-nazi socialists or the people who think their very presence is a good excuse to riot??
