18 men in hoodies attack diners in Chicago restaurant

[pepper]

Morons attacking other morons. You can't claim the high road when you storm an establishment and assault people excersising their legal rights, even when the folks being attacked are losers.

[Mitchum]

LOL So the Chicago Tea Partiers got a beat down.

These Ninnies spend all their time planning for the Apocalypse and they get their arses kicked by a couple of Hippies.

Too Funny!

So what's the latest on this? A bunch of liberals attack a bunch of alleged white supremacists? Does that make them better than white supremacists?

Violence is okay now?

Or wait, was it an Irish Heritage Association?

White on white crime. This thread will quickly die

A bunch of lefties being violent? I don't think so.

[KingSolomon]

Well I guess hoodies and thugwear is no longer a black thing. Isn't it interesting though how the article describes white guys between 18 and 25 as kids but when the suspects of similar incidents are not white they are described as men? Wonder why this is?

Group Beaten At Tinley Park Restaurant Tied To White Supremacists

Winston said that during the attack most of the men’s face coverings were torn off.

“Most of these kids were white, and they all looked like they were between 18 and 25,” he said

Solomon;

From the article you linked:

The men in custody aren’t talking yet to police, he said.

Winston said 18 young men, all wearing hooded jackets and obscuring their faces with scarves and other coverings, stormed into the restaurant. Police said there were 15 to 18 attackers.

Winston said that during the attack most of the men’s face coverings were torn off.

and then he said:

“Most of these kids were white, and they all looked like they were between 18 and 25,” he said.

I fail to see where the writer of the article calls the suspect "kids"...there was one reference made to "kids" and that was by a witness. Every other reference to the suspects were "young men" or "men".

Uhh, this is being treated as a crime.

Yep, it was getting the usuals hot under the collar until they saw it wasn't a black/Trayvon Martin retribution thing. Now it's off to the memory hole.

A bunch of lefties being violent? You think we'll ignore that?

Kind of like how you liberals were ignoring all of the rapes and assaults at the OWS stuff?

Because the point of a forum is to dicuss a topic. If you want discussion you need to have some skin in the game as well and provide some feedback, or at least tell us why you post this. Anyone of us can easily find most of the stories on our own. It's the discussion that counts.

If only that discussion was civil, and void of idiocy....

[RavensGrrl]

Why do you people refuse to discuss the topic?

what's to discuss?? i am against violent attacks like this. anybody else?

[sigmalady]

Why do you people refuse to discuss the topic? Is having a sentence cut and pasted that important to you ? Or do you need to get off on your personal attacks?

18 men in hoodies entered a restaurant and attacked diners in that restaurant. The topic of the story said the exact same thing.

Do you need to make more personal attacks?

Will that make you feel better abou tyourselves?

What is the topic you wish to discuss?

Charged, bail set

Authorities charged five Indiana men Monday with a weekend attack in which a group of masked assailants wielding bats and batons stormed a Tinley Park restaurant in broad daylight, beating diners they believed were connected to a white supremacist group.

Two of the people attacked at the restaurant also are facing charges.

...

The five men charged are: John Tucker, 26, of Martinsville, Ind.; Cody Sutherlin, 23, of Bloomington, Ind.; Dylan Sutherlin, 20, and Jason Sutherlin, 33, both of Gosport, Ind.; and Alex Stuck, 22, of Bloomington, Ind. Two of the victims were also arrested: Steven Eugene Speers, 33, of Grand Forks, N.D., was arrested on a warrant for possession of child pornography from Dallas County, Texas; and Francis John Gilroy, Jr., 65, of West Palm Beach, Fla. was charged with unlawful possession of weapons by a felon, police said.

Should political views become a proctected group? In the future should this be a hate crime?

[BenjaminES]

Why is what they're wearing important babyman?

[BenjaminES]

Literally millions upon millions of people wear hoodies every single day.

18 of them causing a ruckus is hardly a reason to be alarmed. I'm wearing a hoodie right this very second.

See, the whole idea is that you can't judge a really big group based on the actions of a few. Which you do pretty consistently.

Poor babyman, he just has no idea

[Joy in Mudville]

Why do you people refuse to discuss the topic?

What do want us to say?

It's horrible.

There, feel vindicated? A bunch of white kids attacked a bunch of white people people in a restaurant 800 miles from me. It's awful.

Next topic.

UPDATE: Radical Leftists Arrested in Chicago Mob Hammer Attack...

Eyewitness recalls violence of Tinley Park restaurant attack

A horde of masked figures stormed the restaurant in a single-file line, wielding bats, claw hammers and metal batons — their presence announced when one shouted, “‘Hey, *****es, the ARA is going to f--- up this place.’ ”

With that, the shrouded thugs went on a rampage, clubbing diners at The Ashford House restaurant on May 19 in Tinley Park. They did not discriminate as to the targets of their violence, even pushing an 80-year-old woman to the ground, according to an eyewitness who’s a former Chicago police officer.

Poor Tea Partiers didn't stand a chance.
