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.

Listening to Toledo PD right now....400+ crowd involved...will keep you all updated.
So far one officer casualty earlier....took a rock in the head. Many damaged police vehicles.
Tough luck for the cops, protecting the scum that you want to beat with a nightstick.
These rioters are NOT the neonazis by the way.
DAMN...I completely forgot about this today...
Not every day you get a chance to throw rocks at Nazi's...
Sad reality is...the nazi's got more police protection than the people in the neighborhood they came to march in...
Throwing rocks is so stupid.
Take that crowd and have everyone LAUGH. Hundreds of people laughing at the nazis. On TV. Point and laugh and mock. Holding signs of Hitler taking it from the rear by a giant black man (head pasted on of black American gold medalist from Olympics held in Germany). Hitler in a pink dress.
Laughter will kill their cause. They are all small people.
Nothing really started happening til after a while into and after the march....the nazis themselves have pretty much left as far as I can gather. There weren't many of them -- 25 or so.
Yes..but sticks and stones break Nazi bones...
I'm all for free speech, but the "National Socialist Movement/America's Nazi Party" does not merit a public platform.
Would Toledo have given a permit to the KKK?
Fine choice of weapons.......and ideas .......:o)
Mel Brooks, is that you?
Are they the ones who are marching against the Neo-Nazis? I only caught part and seem to be running across articles on a planned protest against them.
That's exactly how it should be done. ;) If you ever see an opportunity for this kind of protest, call on me.
How many were actually protesting the nazis and how many were looking to cause trouble...let em march and laugh at em...act like somebody..act like youre better
Shame about the hurt officer. The scum he fulfilled his duty protecting aren't worthy to lick his boots.
"Nazis. I hate Ohio Nazis."
Sounds like the left are eating their own, again.
Perhaps -- there was supposed to be a counterprotest but the situation has descended into riot more or less. Toledo PD is calling back some 911 callers in the area and are informing them they are on their own. Situation is not under control.
Actually it was a woman officer who was injured, but point taken!
And Louis Farrakhan does? I don't agree with the National Socialist Movement/America's Nazi Party message, but the last time I heard, they were Americans. Why does freedom of speech ONLY extend to people we agree with?
