The Toledo Riots
Over the weekend the city of Toledo Ohio was overcome by a race riot. It was supposed to be a positive gathering of people rightfully protesting a Neo Nazi rally, but instead it turned into a violent free for all. Michelle Malkin has the best info so far on this really sad situation north of here.
I especially agree with one quote on her site. "Pat yourselves on the back, Toledo rioters/looters/gangsters. You probably stoked more racism than the idiotic white supremacists could have ever dreamed of spreading--and you made their inconsequential demonstration of hatred a smashing success. Literally."
I'm 100% supportive of telling morons like the hate-filled Neo Nazis where they belong in our society (as well as where they can shove their eagle-headed flag poles), but the thugs up in Toledo squandered the opportunity, hurting the themselves and the good guys in the process.
On a side note, I've got to ask... where were the Blues Brothers when we needed them this weekend? I'm sure they hate Ohio Nazis as much as they hate Illinois Nazis.

I heard about this rally a few weeks ago. I'm sorry it turned out to be what some people expected...a neo nazi protest failure.
But we can always hope that they all just choose to sort each other out without killing innocent people.
