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.”

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?
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.
If this was indeed OWS vs stormfront types, pass the popcorn - I thought OWS and stormfront were cut from the same cloth, just stiched a little different. Then again, truth does not matter to the OWS types, and I would not put it past the punks to make stuff up regarding stormfront ties (I’ve gotten the same).
