Neo-Nazi march in my neighborhood
http://www.cnn.com/2005/US/10/15/nazi.march/
This shit was totally insane. I was right there from the beginning, and was even standing right next to the cameras and cops when they started using tear gas and the riot really kicked in. It started out as an anti-Nazi thing, but very quickly turned into anger against the police for protecting the Nazis. This march was taking place in black gang territory, remember. Hundreds of gang members. You may have seen them flashing their gang signals on TV. I had to go to work so I don't know if I was on TV or not, but like I said I was right by the cameras, and am in at least some of the photos they took.
I can't believe this happened two blocks away from me. I showed up just to heckle the Nazis, but things escalated extremely quickly and disturbingly violently. Firebombs, overturned cars, tons of broken windshields and bruised up cops. It was a writhing mass of hundreds of rioters, with a full SWAT line blasting tear gas and actually even a flashbang at them. This whole fucking area is on lockdown.
