Looking at Yahoo this morning, and there's a headline about the riots in Toledo....which were angry minorities rioting AGAINST the white supremacists.

Here's the headline:

• White supremacists riot in Toledo, Ohio

Here's the first sentence of the story if you click on it:

TOLEDO, Ohio - Protesters at a white supremacists' march threw rocks at police, vandalized vehicles and stores and cursed the mayor for allowing the event.

Kinda got that backwards, didn't they?

I don't think much of white supremacists, but I despise this kind of reporting where the last thing that will ever be printed is the reality of the situation which is yet again a bunch of angry inner city black people burn their own shit down and blame it on white people....who in this case were peaceably marching. The rioting continued after the mean old Nazis had long since gone home. You know, if there's a way to validate white supremacists and make them look good, these inner city animals did it.

Ugh.

It's okay to hate and lie about Nazis, in the name of tolerance.

Lazy asshats. IMO it SHOULD read:

Protests against White supremacists lead to riot in Toledo, Ohio

AT least. but REALLY should read

Protests against White supremacists used as an excuse to riot in Toledo, Ohio

but that's probably too much to ask

Same thing in the Washington Post this morning:

65 Are Jailed In Violence At Neo-Nazi Rally in Ohio

Associated Press
Sunday, October 16, 2005; Page A07

TOLEDO, Oct. 15 -- A crowd protesting a white supremacists' march Saturday turned violent, throwing baseball-sized rocks at police, vandalizing vehicles and stores, and setting fire to a neighborhood bar, authorities said.

When Mayor Jack Ford and a local minister tried to calm the rioting, they were cursed for allowing the march, and Ford said a masked gang member threatened to shoot him.

At least 65 people were arrested, and several police officers were injured before calm was restored about four hours later.

Ford blamed the rioting on gangs taking advantage of a volatile situation. He declared a state of emergency, set an 8 p.m. curfew through the weekend, and asked the Highway Patrol for help.

"It's exactly what they wanted," Ford said of the group that planned the march, which was canceled because of the rioting.

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. There was a report of a shooting, but police had not found a victim, Police Chief Mike Navarre said.

About 150 police officers chased bands of young men through the area. Officers wearing gas masks fired tear gas canisters and flash-bang devices designed to stun suspects, but the groups continued throwing rocks and bottles. At one point, the crowd reached 600 people, officials said.

Finally, police marched down the street shouting to people to stay inside, and the crowd of several hundred broke up.

At least 65 people were arrested on charges including assault, vandalism, failure to obey police and failure to disperse, Navarre said. He said the white supremacists had left hours earlier.

"We frankly could have made a couple hundred arrests easily," Navarre said. "We just didn't have the resources on hand to arrest all of them."

The mayor had appealed to residents the night before to ignore the march. He said the city would not give the Nazi group a permit to march in the streets but could not stop its members from walking on the sidewalks.

When the rioting began, Ford tried to negotiate with those involved, but "they weren't interested in that."

The headline implies the neo-nutcases were the ones who rioted, and not ONE mention of the color of the idiots burning their own city down.

Yeah, that's objective reporting.....

The headline would have been more accurate if it had read.
