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.

Nice. This is also how the anarchists, A.K.A. 'Los Pistoleros' in Spain got the ball rolling for the Spanish Civil War in '36. And of course that was the bloody dress rehearsal for WW Deuce. Way to go Chi-town!!!

If they keep on doing this sort of stuff and rightist groups begin to respond in kind, the lefties will find themselves outgunned--after all, for the most part, lefties don't hunt, go to gun shows, collect firearms or join the military.

Incidentally, when the Spanish Right finally responded to violent leftist provocations such as assassinations and church burnings, the leftists found themselves outgunned, and they lost the war.

There were over a dozen attackers and five were arrested.

Seems to me that names and photos of the arrestees should be released to help identify the ones who got away.

I’m thinking that they need to try this down in Greensboro, NC, and see how it turns out.

The Stormfronters made a big mistake having their gathering in non-CCW Illinois southwest of Chicago, and putting it up on their website. What were they thinking?

If they were smarter, they would have held it north of Chicago, and not made it plain that it was just north of the CCW-friendly WI border. Given any party crashers a big surprise.

That said, these "anti-fascist" types hate FReepers and TEA party members more than they hate Stormfronters (because we are actually having success rolling back the Left). This may be a foreshadow of things to come as we get closer to November. Stay safe. Avoid gatherings where you cannot be armed.

A good way to minimize the chance of disruptions like this is for each patriotic organization to give each member a password to the part of its website that gives the time, date and location of each of its meetings. Also each member might find a physical problem that required him to carry a heavy cane.

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

Yep, why would they host the NATO conference in a place where you KNOW that there’s going to be protests? The propaganda isn’t working as well as it used to, so expect something more radical in the future.

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

Only if you if you ignore the Left's control of language. The tactics used by the "anti-fascists" were by any sensible definition fascistic tactics, but since WWII, the Left has convinced the public that racism = fascism. Of course, this is because one particular branch of fascism, German fascism, included racism. Italian fascism wasn't racist. Stalinist fascism wasn't considered racist. But that doesn't matter. Fascism has come to mean any opponent of the Left.

Interesting turn of events, too bad the reporter is an idiot. I’ll bet both groups are left-wing radical fasicsts.

The left in Germany hd many battles against each other to sort out which group would gain and hold power.

We are seeing the early stages of this in America, actually we saw this forst in the Texas Cacuses in 2008 between Obama and Hillery forces when Obamas people would not let Hilleery’s people vote.

Note how the tone of the article is highly critical of the "skinheads," "neo-Nazis," and "white supremacists," and details their cowardice, criminal records, etc., but fails to indict their attackers. From what I can tell, the only offense of which the victims were guilty was having lunch ...

But since they're white and the assailants were ... not ... it's okay. Let's see how it's reported when -- not IF -- the retaliation occurs.

“But since they’re white and the assailants were ... not ... it’s okay.”

Actually the report is that everyone involved is white, attackers and victims alike.

To think for years the propaganda being fed to us is these neo-Nazis/skinheads/fascists were the ones who are violent.

“The Stormfronters made a big mistake having their gathering in non-CCW Illinois southwest of Chicago, and putting it up on their website. What were they thinking?”

Let’s stop and think a minute here. A bunch of anti-facist, multi-pierced, metrosexuals have attacked a bunch of neo-nazi skinheads? These weren’t your usual hand-wringing, hippie types now were they? This thing was bought and paid for street theater.

Yeah, I caught that further down in the article. Not sure what the beef here was then. I don’t buy this “anti-fascist” crap. There’s more here than meets the eye.

I suspect too many 'black mob on white' stories have been leaking out despite the media's attempts to cover them up. So someone decided that there needed to be an all white mob style attack, preferably involving skinheads, for 'balance.'

Stormfront is not a patriotic organization. It’s hard to pick the bad guys out of this article.

I don’t remember reading about that. How did they prevent them from voting?
