TOLEDO, Ohio -- A neo-Nazi group staged a rally at City Hall on Saturday, two months after plans for an earlier march set off a riot in which a mob attacked businesses and police. Now they marched to protest how police and the city handled that confrontation.

The counterdemonstrators, chanting slogans and carrying signs reading "Go home Nazis" and "Stop the hate now," were kept behind barricades about 75 yards from the area where the neo-Nazis were cordoned off.
After speaking for an hour, the neo-Nazis left in a caravan of cars, escorted by several police cruisers. Authorities reported only minor arrests and no violence.
