A group of 18 people dressed in black, wearing masks, wielding steel batons and hammers and claiming to be extreme anti-racists allegedly stormed a suburban Chicago family restaurant in broad daylight to assault a meeting of alleged white supremacists, officials said.
Ten people were injured and at least three required treatment for head wounds as a result of the attack Saturday at the Ashford House Restaurant in Tinley Park, Ill., a quiet Chicago suburb. The restaurant sustained $15,000 in damages including broken plates, glasses and furniture.
"I've been mayor for 31 years," Tinley Park Mayor Ed Zabrocki tells ABC News, "and I've never heard of anything stranger than this."
Five of the attackers were caught and have now been charged with aggravated battery, mob action and criminal damage to property, all felonies. Brothers Jason, Cody and Dylan Sutherlin, along with Alex Stuck and John Tucker are all from Indiana. The men are connected to the Hoosier Anti-Racist Movement (H.A.R.M.) whose website now claims them as "The Tinley Park 5?.
Meanwhile the targets of their attack were about a dozen members of the Illinois European Heritage Association...

Two of these victims were also caught up in the police investigation following the incident: Steven Speers of North Dakota was arrested on an outstanding warrant for possession of child pornography and Francis Gilroy of Florida was charged with unlawful possession of a firearm by a felon.
A restaurant surveillance camera captured some of the melee on video and Zabrocki viewed it before it was turned over to prosecutors as evidence in the investigation.
"You see the door opens up, these 15, 18 people walk in. They've got hoods on, they've got masks on," Zabrocki said.

Cool, huh?
“”I’ve been mayor for 31 years,” Tinley Park Mayor Ed Zabrocki tells ABC News”
Just like Urine Hatch!
All the other nuttery aside, Tinly Park is way, way overdue for a new mayor.
Chicago -
the thugs new that their chosen victims couldn’t be armed to defend themselves.
Maybe that'd be cool too, I dunno. But it would be exactly the same.
Lawbreakers illegally assaulting law-abiders.
Not cool.
Child porn watching stormfront whackjobs attacked by OWS leftwing whackjobs.
Can we root for both sides to lose?
I guess it's time for Ed to run for another government office, grab another pension.
This was in an episode of Sons of Anarchy, except there were bikers involved.
Racism = Legal
Physically attacking alleged racists = Illegal
Because one of the diners had an unresolved prior arrest therefore it is legitimate to wish a felonious armed gang assault on all of the apparently-law-abiding diners?
Or is the prior arrest merely a distraction and an excuse for you to wish illegal violence on those with whom you might disagree?
Either way you have posted something that is worthy only of an ignorant, tribalistic savage, and is unworthy of a free citizen of a constitutional republic wherein rights of free speech and free association are guaranteed to all.
One thing I didn’t metion in the article is mentioned in post 7.
The reason I snipped it out of the excerpt is due to posting rules about even mentioning “that” group’s name here at FR.
So yeah. If the report is true - then both groups are racist pigs.
In the Age of Obama, I'm surprised the attackers were arrested. I'll be shocked if any of them actually go to prison but I expect the victims will be suing, even if the attackers have no assets. A very unpleasant situation for all concerned and a black eye for both the victims and their attackers.
But aside from what ever else they may be guilty of assaults on 'insert ethnicity' heritage groups is not a healthy trend.
Maybe I'm being naive in this instance and this group is racist. I don't know. But this "white shame" idea needs to stop.
Minorities actually owe whites a great deal, particularly in regards to crafting the Constitution and building America to a safe and powerful country where they can raise their children and prosper.
Your comment accompanying your OP was retarded and evil.
It has been pointed out to you why by multiple posters, including me.
In your latest reply you have failed utterly to even acknowledge the substance of the criticisms you have received.
Threads discussing instances of apparent racism by white people always cause some FReepers to go retarded. That is because they are stupid and weak and have allowed the commies to infect their minds with commie poison. Already you are not the only (willing?) victim of this phenomenon on this thread.
It is possible to abhor racism without abandoning reason and civilization itself (e.g. due process).
Please learn for yourself how this is done. Others will attempt to guide you but only you can exorcise the commie demon from within your own mind.
But aside from what ever else they may be guilty of assaults on ‘insert ethnicity’ heritage groups is not a healthy trend.

As they say... It’s a black thing. You wouldn’t understand.
So, you believe that celebrating or honoring European Heritage = racism? I'd expect to hear that on ABCNNBCBS or in the Slimes or comPost, but not on FR!
Note that if these individuals DO turn out to be racists, I'm on your side, but let's wait for the evidence.
Near as I can tell, the diners were Neo Nazis and the attackers were Socialists.
It all seems so Retro-Eastern European.

I see. I’m retarded and evil. umm-hmm. But as you see - skeeter backed off his “support” for Stormfront. leaving you alone in suport of White Supremacy.
But hey. Since you are so offended, then take it up with Jim Rob. Better yet - write a screeching vanity in support of Stromfront.
Buh-bye.
