It turns out Socialists and anti-racist groups initiated the violence and encouraged local black men to join in.


Ford said the police were prepared for the march and had appealed to the community to ignore the Nazis, saying the situation turned into "exactly what they wanted."

White's group promotes itself as America's Nazi Party and said that it was protesting black gangs, which it claimed were harassing white residents.

The group said it had received support from Toledo's white citizens and community activists.

White blamed the riot on Toledo police, saying they intentionally changed the group's march route to make it collide with a counter-demonstration.

About 20 members from both the International Socialists Organization and One People's Project showed up, and some handed eggs to African-American residents to throw at the Nazi marchers, White said.

Ruiz-Krause blamed the mayhem on a disorganized group of the community's youth.

Most of the violence happened when residents, who had pelted the Nazi marchers with bottles and rocks, took out their anger on police, said Brian Jagodzinski, chief news photographer for CNN affiliate WTVG.


I find it interesting that these motherfuckers came all the way from Virginia. George Lincoln Rockwell's American Nazi Party is just an hour or two away in southeastern Michigan town of Westland.
