Dear me, what are the folks in Toledo thinking?
A month or so ago police confiscated a handgun from a citizen who had gone out and obtained an emergency concealed carry license to protect himself from gangs in his neighborhood. The TPD reasoning? Send them to community mediation, let everyone "cool off." Keep the gun in lockdown for a few months, since the gun obviously caused all the initial problems.
Well, things began to spiral downward from there. This ultimately resulted with the Neo-Nazi party, with no permission or support from the CHL wronged in the first place, marching in Toledo yesterday.

Apparently I was mistaken. The same crack team that alertly arrested and charged a CHL-holder for lawfully carrying a handgun in Toledo's nirvana-like parks decided that they could control the situation by just reasoning with everyone involved. What resulted is an indictment of everyone involved.
