black on white crime? Just asking
zer0’s/holder’s peeps
nothing to see here...move along.
I am surprised the police did not confiscate the tapes, so they could suppress the suppress the evidence to promote "racial harmony".
Sure hope the restaurant copied the material before handing it over.
Yep yep yep.....just further proof that Illinois is correct in NOT allowing CCW.
Yessiree bob......sure wouldn’t have changed a thing in this instance.
mafia hit?
I’m curious who the 20 out of state diners were. It could help understand motivation. Political affiliation? Family gathering? What?
One CCW person would have stopped this cold.
Trayvon Lives!
The victims were whites attacked by “anti-racists”?

Open carry would pevent this type of stuff.
Some educated guesses.
1) Possibly a factional dispute. Judging from the choice of weapons, it had more organization than is typical among left wing kook groups. So it might have been fascist on fascist.
2) The intent seems to be to fight, not kill, which means it was an amateur job, also implying a philosophical dispute.
3) Tableware can make very effective hand to hand weapons, as can dishes and glasses, chairs and anything handy.
4) More will become clear when information comes out about those who were arrested.
"It now appears that a vicious brawl at a south suburban restaurant on Saturday involved hammer-wielding "anti-fascists" attacking a group of self-professed "white nationalists.
The white supremacists had apparently posted on one or more of their websites that they planned to have lunch at the Ashford House restaurant, 7959 W. 159th St, Tinley Park. Their internet postings refer to a "5th Annual White Nationalist Economic Summit." Not clear is whether they chose this weekend and this suburban Chicago location as some sort of response to the NATO Summit in Chicago.
The "anti-fascists" boasted of the violent attack on their own website, promising more to come. The first of four key unity principles cited on the website states: "Whenever fascists are active or organizing in public, we're there. We don't believe in ignoring them or staying away from them. Never let the Nazis have the street."
A skinhead using the name Brandon Spiller posted several messages after the attack. He said doctors used eight surgical staples to close a wound inflicted on him. He complained, "I had my gun in my car, but couldn't get to it due to Illinois law. If I was able to CCW (concealed carry of a weapon) they would have been stopped and I wouldn't be typing this from a hospital."
One witness told Fox Chicago News that, just before the brawl, the attackers gathered in a lot near the restaurant. They were dressed entirely in black, wearing hoodies and bandannas to conceal their identity. He said the attackers were all white, including a mix of young men and women who may have been in their 20s. He said they loudly chanted political slogans. Then, armed with baseball bats, nunchuks and hammers, they ran screaming through the restaurant's front door. "
“Once they attacked the table, they went and started hitting random people,” Winston said.
It's not random. It's random. It's not random. It's random...
Can't believe what is printed.
Fascists attacking neo-fascists! Being as I are for progress, I’d be for the neo.
I hope to have some real inside skinny by tonight.
