From a comment in the Sun Times non-article, FWIW:

“On Saturday, May 19th a group of 30 anti-fascists descended upon Ashford House restaurant in the Chicago suburb of Tinley Park where the 5th annual White Nationalist Economic Summit and Illinois White Nationalist Meet-and-Greet was taking place. The White Nationalists were targeted inside the restaurant and physically attacked, causing several injuries and completely shutting down their meeting. The anti-fascist group was privy to anonymous inside information. This fascist event had been in secret planning for six months. The attendees have attempted to cover up the true intent of the event with mainstream media reports initially reporting the white nationalist conference as a wedding party and then as an Irish heritage meeting. The event was advertised on www.stormfront.org, an established white nationalist fascist internet forum.”

What this story tells one is that he/she should carry a large calibre weapon with at least 15 magazine, preferably with a backup magazine. Also, practice, practice, practice.

Zombies are getting bad out there.

What? You've never been to a wedding with bats before?

I hesitate to click the link provided.

I’m dumb - > What is an anti-fascist in real words? I take it that the patrons of the restaurant may have been white supremacist?

A wedding with bats - is that new, did I miss something?

Party favors for Barney Frank's gay wedding reception...

Chanting political slogans? Wearing hoodies? Most likely anarchists. Fun times in Chicago. In Reno. Guns would have been out. Shots fired. Thugs dying.

From the article:”...a mob that Winston said wielded metal batons and hammers”

Yet another reason why Illinois needs stronger laws regarding metal batons and hammers. Perhaps they should institute a five day waiting period before you can buy a hammer.

Oh, and claw hammers should be banned completely.

Regarding that backup magazine, I keep a full Glock 18 mag in the bottom of my glove box. They’re a little big for CCW, though.

I'm guessing that this may have been an event where we want to have both sides lose. Brings to mind a quote from my FR profile page:
Although our modern socialists' promise of greater freedom is genuine and sincere, in recent years observer after observer has been impressed by the unforeseen consequences of socialism, the extraordinary similarity in many respects of the conditions under "communism" and "fascism." As the writer Peter Drucker expressed it in 1939, "the complete collapse of the belief in the attainability of freedom and equality through Marxism has forced Russia to travel the same road toward a totalitarian society of un-freedom and inequality which Germany has been following. Not that communism and fascism are essentially the same. Fascism is the stage reached after communism has proved an illusion, and it has proved as much an illusion in Russia as in pre-Hitler Germany."

No less significant is the intellectual outlook of the rank and file in the communist and fascist movements in Germany before 1933. The relative ease with which a young communist could be converted into a Nazi or vice versa was well known, best of all to the propagandists of the two parties. The communists and Nazis clashed more frequently with each other than with other parties simply because they competed for the same type of mind and reserved for each other the hatred of the heretic. Their practice showed how closely they are related. To both, the real enemy, the man with whom they had nothing in common, was the liberal of the old type. While to the Nazi the communist and to the communist the Nazi, and to both the socialist, are potential recruits made of the right timber, they both know that there can be no compromise between them and those who really believe in individual freedom.

-- F.A. Hayek, The Road to Serfdom
It is likely we just had two different brands of totalitarians clashing here.

Axelrod has sent out the word: get violent, Panthers, train your shock troops for the fall chaos; don’t let the flashmob community organizers get ahead of you in training, you’re the backup cavalry.

The Stormfront board is indeed saying it was a SF meet-and greet.

Illinois Nazis. I HATE Illinois Nazis.

Anyway, probably unfortunate both groups didn’t beat each other to death.

Except, in this case, the peeps were white. According to other sites that I’ve Googled, it wasn’t a wedding, but a white supremacy gathering and a bunch of anti-racists went in to contribute to the meeting.

I don’t know who the anti-racists were, whether they were anarchists or Ows’ers or whatnot.

Doesn’t justify it though.

I’d guess it’s OWS types. Somehow I doubt that the SF losers were wearing swastika arm bands, so I bet the OWS idiots probably did beat on people in the restaurant that had nothing to do with the Stormfront folkz.

Sounds like some of Obama’s Occupy thugs attacked a group of white supremacists, sort, a birds of a feather fighting together sort of thing. Next thing you know they will be attacking black racists and Mexican racists./s Punks will be punks.

Evidently they did beat on a few 'outsiders' as well as kicking the crap out of the owner. Bad stuff.

From the little that I just googled, OWS flies the anti-facist banner, and within the first page or so of results for anti-facist was the site to bring down the 'racist, facist' Rush.

No good guys in this beat down.
