about Violence that took place that day, in central city Toledo. (there was a Neo-Nazi group from Roanake, VA., in town how
had scheduled a march though a Toledo neighborhood. Well, I guess it turned ugly, and the police had to intervene. The next
morning after work, I got a call from my dad, said he had seen footage on CNN about the "Riots"! - I told him I had "slept
through it"! He and my mom laughed! It's the truth!!! I have lived here in Toledo for 45 years, and never had too much
of a problem with gang violence!! Actually I wish they would put my website and I on the news instead of this gang stuff!!
