"Toledo Man Reports Stabbing at Toledo Fireworks":http://www.toledoblade.com/Police-Fire/2012/07/05/Toledo-man-reports-stabbing-at-Toledo-fireworks.html

_A Toledo man reported to police that he was stabbed in East Toledo Wednesday night after watching the fireworks._

_Christopher Dale, 21, was taken to Mercy St. Charles Hospital in Oregon. This morning, a hospital operator said there was no information about a patient by that name._

_In a Toledo police report, Mr. Dale reportedly told officers he was at International Park about 11:30 p.m. when 20 to 30 juveniles who were all carrying blue bandanas, started fighting._

_One of the juveniles reportedly “jumped” the victim, kicked and punched him, with the victim eventually being stabbed in the stomach, the report states._

No...no...it isn't gang violence.

No...no...there's no problem with gangs in Toledo. After all, "we've started a dialogue...":http://www.toledoblade.com/local/2012/04/28/Violence-across-city-must-end-gangs-told-1.html and really given them the what for...

No...no...don't mention that "20 to 30 juveniles who were all carrying blue bandanas" are most likely part of the local "Crips":http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crips ...despite the evidence smacking you right in the face.

From Wikipedia:

_...a blue bandanna was first worn by Crips founding member Buddha, as a part of his color-coordinated clothing of blue Levi's, a blue shirt, and dark blue suspenders._ <b>A blue bandanna</b> _was worn in tribute to Buddha after he was shot and killed on February 23, 1973, which_ <b>eventually became the color of blue associated with Crips.</b>

No...no...don't think it's strange that although we "know" who got stabbed, but the hospital he was taken to disavows any knowledge of treating a patient by that name.

God forbid we were actually honest with ourselves in assessing what is going on right in front of our eyes. It might cause hurt feelings and "tensions".
