Riots In Toledo A Nazi Win

Good ol' free speech.

Let the Nazis rally in a black part of Toledo.

Let race-baiters like Al Sharpton spew their filthy hate at over-hyped rallies in DC.

And you get a blow-up of violence and a state of emergency.

That's all understandable enough. But why do blacks continue to destroy any credibility for their cause by throwing rocks at ambulances and looting when something like this occurs?

The blacks had won in this situation, forcing the Nazis to drop their plans to demonstrate. They could have stopped then and showed how neighborhood unity can stand up to hatred. Instead, they became just as hateful as the Nazis:

The Nazi marchers got in their cars and left, while the counter-protesters took over several city streets, growing more and more irate. Mayor Jack Ford says he went into the crowd with several city leaders to try to diffuse the situation. In a late-afternoon news conference, Ford said he was confronted in that crowd by gang members who had what he called "long-standing grievances."

Ford says negotiations were going on to settle the problem when the crowd broke into a building and set it on fire. That's when Police Chief Mike Navarre says he gave the order to clear the streets, and disperse the crowd.

The most unfortunate aspect of the Toledo blow-up is the Nazis got just what they wanted: Publicity for their cause, and blacks looking bad.
