Someone didn't pay their protection money? OWSers? Organized anarchists? Amish running amok?

Would love to see a follow up on this one.

No mention of race - that’s a hint.

According to Fox Chicago, the group -- described by witnessed as white and in their late teens or early 20s -- stormed into the restaurant and appeared to target one group of diners. One witness said they overheard the group chanting political slogans before entering the restaurants.

The attackers flipped over tables, broke many dishes and left several diners needing to get stitches. According to the Chicago Sun-Times, 10 were hurt in the incident, three of whom were hospitalized.

A long-time waitress at the restaurant described the scene to the Tribune as "the scariest … day of my life. They took out the whole restaurant. It was absolutely horrible."

Five of the attackers are now in police custody, though no charges have been filed as of early Sunday.

Police say the attackers knew who their targets...

White - knew the victims...

That sentence merits a summary execution.

Anytime the media leaves out pertinent identification, you can bet your hushpuppies the perps were all Amish.

” . . . gathered for a wedding with bats . . . “

Well there’s the problem, right there.

Hey, why not? In Obamaland, men can marry men, so why can't men marry goats? Or bats?

Gives new meaning to the expression: "My wife? Oh--the old bat is fine."

People have been losing their "bets" on perpetrator ethnicity more often than usual the last couple of days.

A wedding with bats - is that new, did I miss something?
BTW, would that be the flying kind or the wooden ones?

Yes, the word “bats” just seems to float away from “beat.” Bad, really bad.

Other articles identify the diners as an “Irish Heritage Group” although the hostess said she found that strange because none had an Irish accent. Stranger still, the attackers use what were described as 24 oz. “Railroad Hammers”.

Something needs to be done and done soon. These teapartiers are getting bolder and more violent by the day.

I think they were Methodists and they were upset that the meal was not pot-luck casaroles.

I have tried, diligently, to get my Give-A-Damn, ver.101 program to load. But, I realized those victims chose to be in a community where they were disarmed - CHOSE to be disarmed!

I won’t even consider calling the WAAAHmbulance for them. If one chooses to submit to being a victim, one can hardly make a valid claim for even sympathy when the modern day wolves attack.

My bet is that the Urban Ferals arrested will turn out to be the anarchist wing of the Occupy nutters. Thank you, George Soros - NOT!
