Why won't AP report what really happened?
The AP continues to refuse to report who actually rioted in Toledo, Ohio this past weekend. This passage from the latest AP report only mentions in passing who is responsible;
What they don't mention is the idiotic, moronic white-supremacist group had obtained a legal permit for the march which consisted of 12 people. The rioters totaled close to 500 people. So what would have been a non-event by a insignificant group was turned into a "race-riot" even though no white supremacists participated or were arrested. Basically these people used the white supremacists as an excuse to destroy their own town. Good job!
Someone needs to explain that in this country there is something called free speech. So even if a group that has a warped philosophy like the National Socialist Movement they do have a right to say what they believe, like it or not. It's up to others that know better to act responsibly and not bring themselves down to their rivals level.

An angry mob, some of them gang members, threw baseball-sized rocks at police, vandalized vehicles and stores and set fire to a bar. More than 100 people were arrested and one officer was seriously injured.

Using a megaphone to make themselves heard over the shouts from the crowd, Mr. Ford and Mr. Bell tried to explain that the Nazis had left hours ago.
“I’ve sat here, and for the last couple of hours, we have tore up our own neighborhood ... The Nazis are gone,” Mr. Bell shouted.
“Why were they allowed to be here? That’s what I want to know,” screamed back one man.
Many members of the crowd yelled that the Nazis should never have been able to march in the first place.
Mayor Ford said he heard one person in the crowd say to him: “I ought to shoot you.”
