[Viva_La_Revolution]

1. Very sad. nt

[Fleshdancer]

2. Do we know yet what that building is?

[spooked]

16. Faux is now saying it was a Tavern

n/t

[jasmeel]

3. Oh crap!

[wndycty]

4. Its good that this is getting coverage but you know FAUX will use this. .

. . .to criticize Black people.

[liberaliraqvet26]

that is exactly what they are doing

[The Doctor.]

14. Yep... I just heard her say,

'The neo-nazis were protesting black gang violence against whites.'
(paraphrased}

-Oh those poor, righteous neo-nazis! All they were doing was speaking out against the hateful black people... now look what those hateful black people are doing! :sarcasm:

Of course, they did, in fact, react badly.

[lateo]

5. A riot in Toledo?

Link?

[messiah]

6. Wow

right in my own city this is nuts.

[Neil Lisst]

7. Nazis had rally in Toledo, citizens got mad, riot, looting follow

Someone started a fire, so there's that, too.

I think Fox is overdoing it a bit, and why?

To counter the activities in DC right now.

8. Yes the Neo Nazis show up and the African Americans will get blamed!

:kick:

[The Doctor.]

24. They could not have planned it better.

They got everyone riled up then 'cancelled' the 'protest' and let everyone's anger turn them stupid.

I hate to say this, but people played right into their hands on this one.

The Neo-Nazis scored big on this one.

I would guess they've been coordinating with Faux... or at least tipped them off that there may be trouble.
They played the public like a fiddle.

And they are as much to blame as the vandals and looters.

[melody]

9. Nazis versus real Americans - if that's not a sign of the times n/t

[wndycty]

10. The Nazis will be free the real Americans will most likely be locked up!

:kick:

[melody]

12. Yup :(( n/t

11. Shades of Greensboro Nov. 3 1979

[AngryAmish]

13. What happened there?

[bbinacan]

21. If I remeber correctly

klamsmen shot and killed protesters.

[libnnc]

22. Neo Nazis gunned down members of the CWP

in a black neighborhood in broad daylight. The police did nothing.

"The Greensboro massacre occurred on November 3, 1979 in Greensboro, North Carolina. It was the culmination of attempts by the Maoist Communist Workers Party (CWP) to organise industrial workers, predominantly black, in the area. Five CWP marchers were killed. They were: Sandi Smith, a nurse and civil rights activist; Dr. James Waller, president of a local textile workers union who gave up his medical practice to defend workers; Bill Sampson, a Harvard University graduate in the school of divinity; Cesar Cause, an immigrant from Cuba who graduated magna cum laude from Duke University; and Dr. Michael Nathan, chief of pediatrics at Lincoln Community Health Center in Durham, NC, a clinic that helped children from low-income families"

And the whole nine minutes of the event were broadcast on the evening news. It was horrible, frightening film. I was a kid but I remember.

23. The Greensboro Massacre

"On November 3, 1979, a coalition of people gathered in a low-income neighborhood in Greensboro, North Carolina, to demonstrate for racial and economic justice. They were fired upon by others, and a number of demonstrators were killed and wounded in what became known as the Greensboro Massacre." (Hollyday, Joyce. 2004. The Altar of Truth. The Other Side. May & June. Pp. 20-23.)

" sponsored an anti-Klan rally on November 3, 1979, that was attacked by several carloads of Klansmen and Nazis who murdered and maimed demonstrators." (Waller, Signe. 2002. Love and Revolution: a political memoir. Rowman and Littlefield Publishers, Inc.: Lanhan, MD. pg. x)

I remember when this happened. The killers were KKK and American Nazis.

[AlCzervik]

15. Let me guess, Faux is firmly on the side of the Nazis.

[The Doctor.]

17. Yeah- pretty close...

According to Faux, the Nazis were protesting 'black gang violence against whites'.

-those poor, innocent nazis!

[The Doctor.]

18. Yeah- pretty close...

According to Faux, the Nazis were protesting 'black gang violence against whites'.

-those poor, innocent nazis!

[AlCzervik]

20. of course and i'm sure the Nazis wanted a peaceful protest, i'm soooo sure

they didn't come there to stir up any shit.
:sarcasm:

[The Doctor.]

27. Yep...

And the public played right into their hands.

I despise these nazi shitheads, but I'm deeply disappointed the people let themselves become manipulated.

Almost easily.

[Roy]

29. Yup, although on the phone the police chief

told the idiots that there were no gang problems or racial problems in this neighborhood.
and, that these residents held large neighborhood events every year which brings these people together inter-racially.

But, Fox keeps talking about the Nazi group was protesting the rampant gang violence in this neighborhood that threatens the white citizens there.

[spooked]

19. Yes, the nazis have every right to protest, this is America, etc.

They are also ASSUMING that this was arson...who knows how that fire started.

[Neil Lisst]

25. it's Fox's way of dumping on the Millions More March

Look, more of "them" looting!

You know they are thinking it.

Violence erupts in North Toledo after Nazi march is canceled; mayor declares curfew

BLADE STAFF AND WIRE REPORTS


Violence continued to erupt in a North Toledo neighborhood this afternoon where a Nazi march had been planned earlier in the day.

Protesters who had gathered for the rally, which was canceled because of disturbances, looted a gas station and liquor store and then set the liquor store on fire. Assaults also were being reported.

Mayor Jack Ford, Fire Chief Mike Bell, and community leaders all tried unsuccesfully to quell the uprising. Mayor Ford has declared a state of emergency and an 8 p.m. curfew.

About 60 percent of the Toledo police force was at the scene. Police officers, wearing gas masks, fired tear gas into the crowd.

"This has a real potential for a lot of bloodshed," Police Chief Mike Navarre warned a large group of officers, part of the 150 deployed to provide security for the march.

Police in helicopters, cruisers, bicycles and on horses chased bands of youths throughout the afternoon. Officers wearing gas masks fired tear gas canisters and flash-bang devices designed to stun suspects, only to see the groups reappear nearby and resume throwing rocks and bottles. At least six people were arrested.

Navarre said officers had a report of a man shot in the area, but they had not found a victim. No other injuries had been reported, Navarre said.

At least two dozen members of the National Socialist Movement, which calls itself "America's Nazi Party," gathered at a city park just before noon and were to march under police protection. Organizers of the march said they were demonstrating against black gangs that they said were harassing white residents in the neighborhood.

Violence broke out about one-quarter of a mile away from the park along the planned one-mile route. By midafternoon, Navarre said he believed all the members of the Nazi group had left the city.
