Whoa, riot in Toledo. Check out FOX News, if you can, it's kinda scary. And very interesting that the police took their sweet damn time wading in.

It's bizarre to think that the Nazis were the well-behaved group in this situation. And I never suspected that Toledo was a haven for black gangs, either. It's a strange story on many levels.

I envision the following:

Cop #1: Woah. We have a riot going on.
Cop #2: A riot.
Cop#1: Yeah. Looks really intense, too.
Cop #2: A ri...you do remember where we are, right?
Cop #1: Yeah...
Cop #2: We're in Toledo. You know. The one in Ohio.
Cop #1: I know.
Cop #2: We don't have riots in Toledo. Riots are those things they have in Los Angeles when the mood stikes them and in Boston when a sports team wins a championship. We are not in California or Massachusetts. We are in Ohio.
Cop #1: Well...I know, but it really looks like those riots they had in those places. I saw them on the news. From the report, this sounds a lot like that.
Cop #2: Ugh...all right, I guess we'd better go look. Get ready. But we're stopping for donuts before we get there.

That's not that surprising to me, having lived in Ohio before. The cities there are fairly large and diverse. It's just when you leave the cities, then you're in cornfields.
