Last Friday we held our downtown Christmas Party at Dugan's Irish Pub.
We had a great crowd and the bar was filled with Christmas cheer until smoke began to fill the entire venue.
At approximately 8 p.m. the Chicago Fire Department were called to the bar to put out what was a very smoked filled bar.
After waiting outside for nearly an hour, we were told that the bar was closed for the night and we were asked to gather our belongings.
There were four small dynamite looking devices found in the men's bathroom, smoldering in the trash can.
The following evening I received a phone call from Chicago Police Department Bomb and Arson officials.
Written on the lid of one of the toliets were: F*CK THE TEA PARTY
Bomb and arson officials have deemed this incident an arson.
Luckily, nobody was hurt, however, the good people of Dugan's lost an awful lot of money.
Police are investigating and we are not going away.
Look for us to have a ONE-MORE-TIME! MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW PARTY in Chicago's Loop after the New Year!
To the dozens who came out to Dugan's, I am so sorry for all this trouble. There are some very hateful people in this world and they will do whatever necessary to stop those who are fighting for freedom!
And we hope those who came out and those who were unable to make Friday's event, join us after the New Year!!
Thank you for your faith and support! You are the heart and soul of the tea party movement; without you, socializm would rule!
God bless you and your families during this Christmas Season!
LET THE LIGHT SHINE!
Theres more incidents of leftists violence than any tea party violence
Actually, we know what comes next. Any student of history does. Violence from the left/dems/marxists. Lots of it.
The question is what happens after that?
It should be considered an act of terrorism because it targets a certain group of people.
But since it’s Conservatives, no action will be taken. However, if a Planned Parenthood were so much as TP’d on Halloween, they’d have the National Guard surround it.
>> The question is what happens after that?
Support the rule of law. The Left wants chaos.
The media blackout continues.
20 years ago, liberal activists tried to burn down an associate’s home while he slept inside. Though they plea bargained down, we got convictions.
Best wishes in slamming these perps.
See if the pub has security cameras. Lots of perps get nailed that way.
Dugan’s or Duggan’s?
These slime bags are really asking for it,god help them if everything does fall apart. WE surround them,and they just don`t get it!
I reckon we bury them so they don't continue to stink up the place.
Party pooper!
... just kidding, of course. The way of the RIGHTeous is hard.
Historically, the odds are NOT in our favor. Then again, this country has a habit of beating the odds. Then again again, we’ve never been so infested with “useful idiots” and have never been so far removed from God...
I agree, the law should be enforced! The movie Hang Em High comes to mind.
When the “rule of law” becomes the “rule of the connected,” how do we support it?
Examples: waivers under obamacare to the dems’ allies, TRILLIONS of dollars sent to connected financial institutions by the unaccountable Fed, and even something as simple as Rahm Emmanuel not having to bother with the Chicago residency requirement.
We’re rapidly becoming a nation under the rule of cronyism and kleptocracy, far removed from a nation under the rule of law...
I think you have to hang on when the alternative is the abyss. Certainly when the question at issue is arson, you have to rely on law enforcement. The way I picture the state of things, I don't see the Chicago Police Department looking the other way in an arson case because of the Tea Party.
Can you please keep us updated on what the devices turns out to be, firestarters or actual malfunctioning bomb attempts?
“Written on the lid of one of the toliets were: F*CK THE TEA PARTY”
If ‘tea partiers’ are also viewed as ‘rich’ by the left, perhaps the starting of fires is their new m.o.

Can a revolution and or civil war be far behind?
“I’m constantly reading reports of leftist violence - its everywhere.”
And it will be denied that it ever happened by the gays in the big-media.
Leftist violence gets ignored, or buried, if it might hurt a Democrat now. And it’s been that way for a decade or more.
Union job? Oh, no, probably not. It’s after 2 pm. Unless the guy got quadruple overtime.
not important
“>> The question is what happens after that?

Translation: run away and hide...
There is no “rule of law”, the government has perverted any sense of that line of thinking. Consider the Black Panther case and now the BP case. The fact that nothing will be done in this case...rule of law? Yes, there are no rules for the democrats.
The question is what happens after that?
Lock and load.
Correction, we are NOT a nation of laws. That is a naive position, as outdated as the LIBs adhering to the Constitution. When some people go to jail for not paying income taxes and the writer of tax laws does not; we have no nation of laws.
When some people can enter this country, murder citizens on the highway, rape our women and children and nothing is done, we have no nation of laws.
When American citizens are assumed guilty and subjected to unlawful search and seizure, while the most likely to commit crimes are exempt, we have no nation of laws.
What we have is EXACTLY what the Founding Fathers sacrificed their blood, their wealth and their very lives to overthrow. We have a tyrannical ruling class that despises us and will not listen, no matter how loud we yell or how long we speak.
I am reminded of Aragorn’s speech at the Black Gate:
“Hold your ground, hold your ground! Sons of Gondor, of Rohan, my brothers! I see in your eyes the same fear that would take the heart of me. A day may come when the courage of men fails, when we forsake our friends and break all bonds of fellowship, but it is not this day. An hour of woes and shattered shields, when the age of men comes crashing down! But it is not this day! This day we fight! By all that you hold dear on this good Earth, I bid you stand, Men of the West!”
Neither this act of violence, nor any other abuse of the free people of America, has the power in itself to revoke the blessings of liberty God gave us through the labors of the Founders. We are a nation of laws, not because we always live up to that ideal, but because that ideal is always alive in us; it may not be where we are, but it where we are headed, and the only thing that can derail us is despair, a heart of surrender to odds seemingly insurmountable. As an antidote to that, I adopt the principle of Churchill, that we offer no peace ever to the enemies of our liberty, no letting up of the pressure to reach for that ideal of a nation governed by good laws and not by petulant children, until victory is achieved:
Never give in, never give in, never; never; never; never - in nothing, great or small, large or petty - never give in except to convictions of honor and good sense
~Winston Churchill
I will let you know if I find out any further details.
They lost money on the Tea Party gig due to the fire, so, as odd as it would be, it might be nice to send them a little something. I know I will.
There were four small dynamite looking devices found in the men's bathroom, smoldering in the trash can.
From what you wrote above and about 'all the smoke', those 'dynamite looking devices' sound like Smoke Bombs.
If they were, they're legal (even in Chi), and used in HVAC (the V part - Ventilation) to test for leakage in Ductwork and for proper functioning of Smoke Exhaust Systems, mostly in Stair Ways where the Exhaust Fan is mounted directly above on the roof, or above a large Atrium.
'Smoke Tests' used to be SOP in 'the business' but I don't see as many 'Smoke Exhaust Fans' being spec'd like back in 'the olden days'(1). But Smoke Bombs are still available and anyone in the business can buy them from 'the right places. And in the Chi Metro Area those tests are performed by Union Workers: Test and Balance Technicians (note: not part of any SEIU local).
(1) Fully Sprinkled buildings are making Smoke Exh Fan/System go the way of the Dodo. And now there's more stringent methods on Duct Construction itself, meaning less air leakage and Smoke Tests of ductwork unnecessary.
How did they know where the Tea Party was gathering for the Christmas Party?
See! See! The Tea Party incites violence.
It is if you want to search for other reports on this incident.
There is no rule of law, the government has perverted any sense of that line of thinking. Consider the Black Panther case and now the BP case. The fact that nothing will be done in this case...rule of law? Yes, there are no rules for the democrats.
Indeed. The absolute worship of the law by many in this country is one of the biggest problems that will be faced before we get this ship turned around.
Who in the media has this been presented to? Name the contacts!
I haven’t seen anyone on the left picking it up, but biggovernment, fox, beforeitsnews, buzzbox, examiner, and others of a “rightish” orientation are definitely broadcasting it. Circumstantial evidence is still evidence.
Good question. Hmmmm...
>> Translation: run away and hide...
Nonsense.
Fourth of July smoke bombs was the first thing to come to mind. Four would sure create a ton of smoke inside a building.
Lucky for us, these particular leftists are as incompetent as they are demented.
PING!
I cannot believe for a second these people are incompetent as they are demented. If that were so, how on earth would they even have the competency to wipe the spittle from the corners of their mouths?
Gonna check those links out...
Their beer list shows they have a great sense of humor...check the last one on the list...
Thanks. I’ve had good feedback on them before.
A gift from the political party of Pelosi, Reid, Obama, New Black Panthers, and the KKK. Thanks Springfield Reformer.
