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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

leftist Nazis fighting leftist OWS

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.

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.
