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.

"preaching that everyone who is not them should be killed off is counter to species and individual survival and should NOT be tolerated."

Good job! That has been the law for a long time. Those that deliberately provoke or antagonize someone to lose their temper, can complain to no avail when they get their face punched.
I see this more as a "incite to riot"
The gang members that threw rocks and damaged property should be found and brought to justice. I feel sorry for the property owners!
"Don't you see that what is considered "hateful" today may be fashionable tomorrow?"
Yeah, I do. I'm a freaken Episcopalian.
Stuck in a church (because I can't abandon my elderly congregation) that's exercising free speech : )
Ironic, isn't it?
I see they have special rights.
FANTASTIC !
NAALP!!!! (National Association of Looting People)
I love it!
The blacks were incredibly stupid and then became criminal. It's too bad that more on this thread don't realise the nazis DID accomplish their goal.
Toledo, don't give hate group an audience
By ROSE RUSSELL
YOUNG black people, let me be blunt: The march by hate groups in North Toledo today is aimed at you. Don't give them the time of day. Please.
Too bad they didn't listen.
Let me guess, the side that hates?
I am perfectly willing to denounce nazis and those who pin that label on themselves. I am not willing to let the opposition to the nazis mask their own political hate, especially when they lump this site in with the nazis.
And? I went to school when they taught what that meant. And the background behind it and not revisionist history.
Bring 'em over to the local Anglican church. Anglican churches are opening all over the state.

I don't think that silencing everyone is the only preventive method. There are manners, civility, a standard. And then, there's always love.
Now, if everyone were followers of the Prince of Peace, your solution would work. That is not the case in this world.
But when you start legislating what is ok speech and what is hate speech, soon ALL speech will be classed hate speech because of the premise you responded to... (infinite possibilities for offending...)
I completely disagree. Hate speech laws are horrible. Who decides what is "hate speech"? You? Me? Some liberal judge? In Canada, where they have more experience with these things they have found simply reading the Biblical passages that enjoin against sodomy is "hate speech". That's right! Read the Bible off the pulpit and GO TO JAIL!
Amazing! A conservative in favor of hate speech laws. Never thought I would see the day.
I wonder if these are the "Fantom" NOPD officers? Or mabie they are the rent-a-looters spotted in NOLA after Katrina?
See here, I'm confused. The Nazi's want to march to protest the black gang violence in a mostly white neighborhood. OK, I got that (even though I find Nazi's abhorrent) so the black gangs go on a rampage, destroying, looting....doing things they do best.......the Nazi's NEVER get their march started and are escorted away because of the black gangs' violence. Uh, I guess my question is, doesn't anyone think that seeing the very thing that the march was intended to reveal just about seals it? Am I wrong here?
No, politically correct haters are lauded. Malcolm X gets on a postage stamp. The PC left who would love to curtail freedom of speech would and do find excuses to protect and defend the speech of those who "hate whitey."
If we were to institute anti-hate speech laws here we might well see our libraries cleaned out of a good portion of their contents.
I've read posts where it was urged that Christians, Conservatives and Republicans be murdered. I still post. I'm careful of shirts with meanings if I'm alone and bumper stickers on the cars. Unfortunately, I think we need to be watchful.
I am no fan of that Nazi bunch, but, they had a permit to march, they were abiding by the law. If they did not abide by the law it is up to the police to rectify the situation.
The looters and vandals broke the law. They should have all been rounded up and thrown in jail, made to pay fines and make restitution. There is NO excuse for what those people did.
