Tinley Park brawl between white supremacists, 'anti-racists'

FIRST ON FOX: 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 attack occurred at 12:45 p.m. Saturday, according to Tinley Park police. Ten were injured, with three taken to local hospitals. Among innocent bystanders terrified by the bizarre explosion of violence were several dozen women there for a wedding shower.

Sources tell Fox Chicago News that at least one of the white nationalists was a fugitive wanted on as many as seven different warrants.

After the attack, several injured white supremacists fled immediately, declining medical treatment. Tinley Park Police said they detained five of the suspected attackers, who apparently call themselves members of the "South Side Chicago Anti-Racist Action." Police and Cook County prosecutors said criminal charges could be filed Sunday.

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.

This is like something out of interwar Germany. A Weimar flash-mob.

In this case the hoodie-uniformed leftist storm troopers hammered out a decisive win over their skinhead targets.

But as Larry Auster warns at his website, what if this isn't a one-off incident, and instead is the beginning of something new in leftwing activism?

This time they chose a target few will have sympathy with. But the left has a lot of people that they hate and the next time it could be a far more conventional group. A jihad against all who oppose them.

“This is like something out of interwar Germany. A Weimar flash-mob. “

This is a set-up. We should be asking what behind-the-scenes group orchestrated this. Or what government agency.

I guess any victim of gang violence will be accused of being white supremecists these days

When in modern history haven't leftists resorted to violence as a political tool?

They won’t, since they see them as fellow travelers.

Sounds like those passive, nonviolent, OWS Anarchists literally stamping stomping out 1st Amendment practitioner's right to free speech & assembly.

Watch out TEA Party.

Nice. This is also how the anarchists, A.K.A. 'Los Pistoleros' in Spain got the ball rolling for the Spanish Civil War in '38. And of course that was the bloody dress rehearsal for WW Deuce. Way to go Chi-town!!!

Reads as if the anti-fascists are suffering from Freudian projectionism. In simpler terms, they be the fascists.

$10 says the criminal White Hut and corrupt Dept of INJustice sanctioned/will also ignore it.

This whole Chicago circus seems like a setup to me. False flags everywhere.

Hmmm, interesting choice of weapons...baseball bats, hammers, and nunchucks.

I vote for “hammer” as the best weapon in this instance...especially a ball peen hammer...or even better, a lead dead-blow hammer.

Has anybody else noticed that only white people attend Anti Fascist rallies?
Seems to me that black people just don’t give a crap.

A group of people that call themselves antifascist attack another group of people because of their personal beliefs... Oh the irony
