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.

Strange, but not as big a concern as the one sided race war that is going on.
I don't see a big difference with the confuse anarchist of the skinheads and the confused anarchist of the OWS. For all we know, some of the attackers may be skinheads.
I will loosely follow this story, just because we probably don't have all the information, yet.
I don't think it is so hard.
The ones who broke the law are the bad guys.
See how that works? How hard was that?
The group that was attacked are also leftist’s or lefties as you called them. Fascism is leftist!
Do some reserch, they [revented them from voting by not letting them enter if they said they were for Clinton. She was livid about it.
This tactic is nothing new for the anti-racist crowd vs the racist skinheads, but usually they don’t do it in so public a place. Neither side will call the cops, so if there if it hadn’t been for the people in the restaurant, this would never have made the news.
Agreed investigations need to be done this is way to efficient an attack entirely to well planned & executed to be your typical leftist action.
To precise by far, they knew where there targets were at exactly , the attackers massed precisely all in ‘uniform’ at the same time like a precise well drilled team & were talking about 20+ individuals .
If it was a leftist run operation you would have folks showing up in everything from Che T-shirts to clown suits.
Nah, it’s not a set-up. Punk rockers and non-racist skinheads always form “anti-racist” groups to fight racist skinheads in their areas. In their view, the racist skinheads, who wear the same kinds of fashion, give a bad name to the non-racist ones, so they feud with them wherever they find them. It’s been going on for over 30 years, so it’s not some new leftie tactic. They do all collaborate with the various commie/socialist/anarchist groups though.
I assume that since they’re white, this will be in my local paper in the morning. As it should be... Some journalists out there needs to come up with a standard - something along the lines of a style book rule - and cover crimes in the SAME WAY - not one way for blacks and one way for whites. But one consistent way.
They knew where they were, and who the targets were because the nazis were stupid enough to post their info on websites and social networking, not thinking that the anti-racists monitor them. Trust me, this is no new development or tactics for the anti-racists.
It looks more organized than typical leftie tactics because anti-racist groups are not run by college slacker lefties or fat union lefties, they are run by anti-racist skinheads and punk rockers who hone street fighting to an art form.
Agreed this is a set up the only question is who is in charge & planning this particular operation. It sure aint the usual lefty misfit crowd that can barely count past 10 without removing there shoes & socks.
The next time the hammer will be met by the gun. Then things will really get ugly.
Aside from a gun I’d prefer a pick-axe handle. Hickory or Ash Maple. Four feet of solid whup-ass.
I would too.
But this was inside a restaurant. That requires something will less swing distance. a knife for instance but no one likes blood puddles and knives have a delayed effect. You want something with an emmediate effect and a short swing distance. Sap, blackjack, or hammer makes sense.
At least that is my thinking.
next target—Tea Party members—Where are the Son of Liberty when we need them?
white men do not group like this and attack people in a restaurant.....these attackers were paid, or greatly encouraged to do such things...
they want to provoke...provoke the whites and martial law will be declared and no election....
but it doesn't matter because many freepers are voting for bamey anyway, bamey holder....now there's a pair of justice seeking politicos...
“Not sure what the beef here was then. I don’t buy this “anti-fascist” crap.”
‘Anti-fascism’ is a very old Communist Party rallying cry, and I’ll be surprised if the hoodie mob doesn’t turn out to belong to some variant of the Communist Party. That’s something that appeals to white leftists, not so much among blacks. There’s a lot of neo-Communists still around on the hard Left, usually calling themselves Progressive-this or Revolutionary-that or something similar. It’s standard practice for that crowd to instigate violence at otherwise peaceful demonstrations of useful idiots on the Left.
But whoever organized this mob skipped the takeover-a-demonstration tactic and went straight to violent attack.
“To think for years the propaganda being fed to us is these neo-Nazis/skinheads/fascists were the ones who are violent.”
Well they often are. But what gets left out is that they have violent counterparts on the Left.
Sorry Cherry, but you’re just plain wrong. There have been documentaries on this rivalry between the anti-racist and racist punks. While this happened in Illinois, it’s an especially bad problem in Nevada. This wasn’t the first time these two groups have clashed, and it certainly won’t be the last. This one just happened to make the mainstream news, and people like yourself who are unfamiliar with the rivalry are assuming that this is something new.
“This is a set-up.”
Yeah, this whole story is pretty fishy.
It looks likes that’s a pretty nice restaurant, why did they let those people enter it all garbed up like maniacs and carrying weapons?
