The Nazi march didn't quite go as planned thanks to the vigilance of the poor black residents of Toledo at whom the march was aimed.

A crowd that gathered to protest a white supremacists' march Saturday turned violent, throwing baseball-sized rocks at police and vandalizing vehicles.

Six people were arrested and police, fire and media vehicles were damaged, Police Chief Mike Navarre said.

At least two dozen members of the Roanoke, Va.-based National Socialist Movement, which calls itself "America's Nazi Party," gathered at a city park to march under police protection. Organizers said they were demonstrating against black gangs that were harassing white residents.

The march was canceled, and the violence broke out about a quarter mile away from the park along the planned route.

Keith White, a black resident, criticized city officials for initially allowing the march.

"They let them come here and expect this not to happen?" said White, 29.

Two hours after authorities called off the march, 150 officers in helicopters and cruisers and on foot, bicycles and horses continued to chase bands of youths.

Toledo police canceled a planned Nazi rally through North Toledo today before it even started because of disturbances among protestors along the route. Police Chief Mike Navarre said about six arrests have been made, several vehicles — including a police car — have been damaged but no injuries have been reported.

Police used tear gas to control crowds where rocks were being thrown. Major disturbances among African-American protestors still were occurring in the area of Central Avenue and Mulberry Street as of the time.
