Mob violence only widens racial divide
Tuesday, October 18, 2005
I question the decision by Toledo, Ohio, city officials to allow a neo-Nazi march Saturday in a primarily black neighborhood. But I still need an answer as to why a mob of 1,000 residents decided to use the protest as an opportunity to destroy buildings, loot stores and throw rocks and bricks at police. Neither the protest nor the riot made one lick of sense.
