Cops defend Nazis as hundreds protest

Chanting “No Nazis, no KKK, no police intimidation,” about 200 anti-fascist demonstrators made themselves heard here on Dec. 10 as the city rolled out the red carpet for the second “National Socialist Movement” (NSM) Nazi rally in Toledo this year. Toledo residents were joined by groups from other towns in Ohio, from Detroit and other points in Michigan, and from Chicago. The Nazis were far outnumbered when they finally peeked out from behind four massive rows of riot cops and began spewing their message of terrorism and genocide at the multinational and very unwelcoming audience below them at City Hall plaza.
