Turns out I was right after all, there were only a dozen neo-nazis....


Much of the anger erupted because residents were upset that city leaders allowed about a dozen white supremacists to walk through the neighborhood and shout insults.

Not a very impressive army to strike fear into the hearts of hundreds of men, and fear into some posters here that they are poised to take over the U.S. and carry out the extermination of other races.

We live in a society that is governed by evil. Why do I say this. Violence has been manufactured to create fear in the hearts of almost everyone. We live in a country that fear is manufactured by past and present events.
Through use of the media, the fear is spread throughout the country letting everyone know that we are to be afraid of each other, judge each other by the color of their skin, religion, and national origin. We are a country that is sooo scared, that we lock our doors, cars, and other means of living.
A few evil leaders have left footprints that a group of people want to follow. The group or groups make their point by marching into a decent neighborhood, due to the response of one resident who (which is an isolated incident) was constantly being harrassed by gangs of another race. What causes the majority of riots is that something is not right in that area in Toledo, Ohio. For example, looking back in history, let's start with the riots of Los Angeles. In 1992, a black man was speeding and driving being chased by the police. The police finally caught him and beat he almost to death. Next thing you know, there is rioting in LA. Now there was tension between the blacks in south central LA and the police. Police brutality was an ongoing problem. The police beating of Rodney King was just the icing on the cake that cause the blacks of LA to start up rioting. It was a release.
In my opinion, it is our freedom of speach that should allow the Nazis to march, however, the blacks should not have rioted against them like they have. Let them march in peace, so that they can understand that they did not make their evil point.

I hate to be confrontational, but that's an incrdibly dangerous attitude to have. This legitimizes these hate groups ....

"See, we were exercising our Constitutional right of free speech and assembly and these (insert outraged group here) attacked us. Doesn't this prove they are animals? We defend the Constitution, its them who are the enemies of Democracy."

This is a tactic very common among unpopular hate groups; instigate an attack and claim a moral victory. As sick as it may sound, the Nazis are quitel likely to do well as a result of this whole mess.

If you dislike a group, the best weapon you have is to expose them. Photograph them, take pictures of their license plates - post it on the web. This is legal in public areas. Write editorials, organize counter-protests, coordinate citizen or church based rallies - the list of LEGAL means of countering these vile groups is endless, actually.
We had a problem with the KKK in my neck of the woods some years ago. A number of people - myself included, I'm proud to say - organized many of these activities. Klansmen really DO NOT like having their picture taken unhooded. They really don't like having their cars and plate #'s posted on the web.

Fight evil, fight injustice, but for Heaven's sake, do it within the law and with moral outrage, not fists. That never solves anything in affairs like this.

Thanks for your indulgence, folks.

The difference is, words aren't against the law, violence is. Even if your words preach violence, it's not against the law until those words are acted upon.


Wrong! You can't make subversive speeches that incite unlawful behavior, see
Brandenburg v. Ohio. You also can't threaten to kill, harm, slander or libel someone without repercussions.

All those who have doubts, I suggest you all go prove me wrong and write a subversive and threatening letter here: president@whitehouse.gov

How exactly would shouting "white power!" over and over again be inciting unlawful behavior? Is it unlawful to believe your race is superior to another? Stupid maybe, but not unlawful. Exactly what direct threats were the neo-nazi morons making? Neo-nazis, just like the New Black Panthers, advocate seperation, not genocide. I can also write as many letters stating that I feel Bush is inferior to other presidents, and that I don't want him to be president of my country anymore. I'm sure plenty already have. Regardless whether we agree with the neo-nazi idiots, they weren't threatening anybody, instead the gangbangers not only threatened, but engaged in violent behavior, how can that escape you?

An EXCELLANT point - I am regretful that I didn't think of it. Sorry for the double-post earlier.

Did the Nazis make imflammatory remarks?
