Over 100 Arrested in Toledo, Ohio After Neo-Nazi March Prompts Counter-Protest & Riot
Over one hundred people were arrested this weekend in Toledo, Ohio after a riot broke out in the North section of the city where a Neo-Nazi group planned to march through a predominately African-American neighborhood.
On Saturday, a neo-Nazi rally was planned by a group known as the "National Socialist Movement." The spokesman for the group, Bill White, said they were invited to come to the area by a white resident who complained to them about "black criminal behavior."
The Nazis planned to march through a predominately African-American neighborhood but authorities called it off when a large counter-demonstration assembled in response. The two sides hurled racial insults at each other for more than hour and then, Police allege, counter-demonstrators started to hurl rocks at the Nazis. The Police then called off the Nazi march but the violence escalated. By Sunday night, 114 people were arrested on charges that included rioting, burglary, felonious assault and carrying a concealed weapon.
To talk more about this, we are joined from Toledo, Ohio, by Pastor Mansour Bey. He is a minister at Toledo's First Church of God.

We want to go back to the late 1970s when a small group of neo-Nazis announced their intention to hold a uniformed rally in a small Illinois suburb. This is an excerpt of an audio documentary produced by Adi Gevins and Kathy McAnally, producers for Pacifica Radio station KPFA in Berkeley, California. It's called "The Right to be Wrong: Free Speech for Extremist Groups"

The case made its way to the Supreme Court which ruled 5-4 to uphold the Nazi's right to march through downtown Skokie. That was an excerpt of the audio documentary "The Right to be Wrong: Free Speech for Extremist Groups."

There are many ways to help the downtrodden without hurting someone else or vandalizing their belongings.
One can, for example
a. become a Red Cross volunteer
b. study law and becoming a prosecuting or defense attorney
c. study math and maybe some accoutning, then start a small business in an impoverished area
d. study politics and run for any local, state, or federal office. (Actually, one can run for office with zero studying or experience.)
e. donate some spare money to the Salvation Army
f. with good grades and a clean record, becoming a policeman or fireman is possible
g. study medicine and become a nurse, paramedic, or doctor in an impoverished area
Throwing rocks at people and property demonstrates a lack of imagination.

The rocks were community self defense not helping the "downtrodden", Most of the rocks thrown were by the "downtrodden" themselves.
And besides many of things you suggest do not help the "downtrodden" they hinder them. For example, the Red Cross and the Salvation Army are reactioanry charites that generaly don't help anyone excpet in minimal ways. The Red Cross is sort a pyramid scheme which helps rich people more than the downtrodden. The Salvation Army is a right wing religious group.
Becoming a prosecutor, cop, or politician does not help the downtrodden. It's mroec omplicated than this, but in a nutshell all they do is oppress the downtrodden.
All the rest of thigns you suggest are fine, but don't help anything when Nazis protected by police invade your community.

A part of growing up means that you have to learn to get along with other people, whom you may not like and with whom you don't agree about everything.
As you grow up, you'll also learn to think longer term instead of seeing only as far as your nose.
You'll also learn that we're all connected, that for every action there's a reaction, and that there's no free lunch.
When many people are in their teens, they are very selfish, vain, and gullible, and think they know everything. This phase usually only lasts a few years. American parents, teachers, and school counselors have an important role during this time of a youths life, to provide the needed love and guidance to prepare them for adulthood.
If parent's and schools neglect the needs of youth during the critical phases of their mental development, there is a risk the youth will develop into narcissistic, social misfits in adulthood.
