The Black Gangs upset at the Nazi's Burn Bars and Gas Stations in Protest (and I'll bet their mothers all call them sonny because their so bright)
From FoxNews: Neo-Nazi March Causes Riots.
Protesters at a white supremacists' march threw rocks at police, vandalized vehicles and stores and cursed the mayor for allowing the event.
Mayor Jack Ford said when he and a local minister tried to calm the rioters Saturday, they were cursed and a masked gang member threatened to shoot him. ...
At least two dozen members of the National Socialist Movement, which calls itself "America's Nazi Party," had gathered at a city park to march under police protection. Organizers said they were demonstrating against black gangs they said were harassing white residents.
The violence broke out about one-quarter of a mile away along the planned march route shortly before it was to begin. One group of men pounded on a convenience store, and others overturned vehicles. ...
When the rioting began, Ford tried to negotiate with those involved, but "they weren't interested in that." He said people in the crowd swore at him and wanted to know why he was protecting the Nazis.
They were mostly "gang members who had real or imagined grievances and took it as an opportunity to speak in their own way," Ford said.
"I was chagrined that there were obvious mothers and children in the crowd with them," he said.
Thomas Frisch, 76, said a large group of men destroyed the exterior of a gas station next to his home of 30 years.
"A whole big gang started to come in here. Next thing you know, they're jumping on the car. Then they overturned it. Then they started on the building, breaking windows, ripping the bars off," he said.
Ratajski and his nephew left Jim & Lou's Bar as a crowd gathered in front, pelting police with rocks and breaking the windows. "I was shaking. I feared for my life," said Ratajski's nephew, Terry Rybczynski.
UPDATE I: FoxNews has updated the above link, adding and deleting information. This was added:
The neighborhood northwest of downtown, full of tree-lined streets and well-kept brick homes, once was a thriving Polish community. But within the last decade it's become home to poorer residents. ...
The neo-Nazi group became interested in the neighborhood because of a white resident's complaints to police about gang violence, Bill White, a group spokesman, said earlier this month. ...
Rioters set fire to 86-year-old Louis Ratajski's neighborhood pub, Jim & Lou's Bar, but he and his nephew, Terry Rybczynski, escaped the flames.
And in a Reuters article, Mayor Ford said of the violent reaction by gangs: "That's exactly what (the white supremacist group) wanted."
UPDATE II -- Oct. 17: More interesting links and commentary by Michele Malkin, Martin Lindeskog, and Committees of Correspondence.

I grew up near Toledo, and recall after the race riots in the 60's my mother took my brothers and I into town to shop. We had to lock the doors inside the car, which was an unusual request at the time.
ReplyDeleteSeems our pals Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton and Louis Farrahkan have done nothing but leave these folks in Toledo, New Orleans and countless other places poor, angry and ready to incite to violence.
Pretty sad legacy for the civil rights movememnt... But hey... they'll just blame it all on Bush.
It's Sad Martin Luther King is rolling over in his grave at what his movement has been turned into.
ReplyDeleteThe so called civil rights leaders of today don't want equality in a color blind society. They want their color to get them a free ride and a pass on personal responsibility
Thanks for dropping by my site troll, I try to catch new readers skim over their websites and if I think they are a fit add them to my blog roll.
ReplyDeleteYou I'd say fit right in ;-)
As for folks being angry and ready to incite to violence? Take another layer off the onion, as I pointed out in my post, landmark Black institutions are often targeted,
There are those protesting and then there are those who see civil unrest as a business opportunity,
anger does not spurr them on as much as avarice and the knowlege that if they do get caught looting some moonbat liberal lawyer will pro-bono them out of jail to support the Revolution?
Glad you stoped by Dan if you come back and read this leave your url in your post so others may view what you have.
