In response to Mob Attacked Specific Group of People Inside Tinley Park Restaurant

On Saturday, May 19th a group of 30 anti-fascists descended upon Ashford House restaurant in the Chicago suburb of Tinley Park where the 5th annual White Nationalist Economic Summit and Illinois White Nationalist Meet-and-Greet was taking place. The White Nationalists were targeted inside the restaurant and physically attacked, causing several injuries and completely shutting down their meeting. The anti-fascist group was privy to anonymous inside information. This fascist event had been in secret planning for six months. The attendees have attempted to cover up the true intent of the event with mainstream media reports initially reporting the white nationalist conference as a wedding party and then as an Irish heritage meeting. The event was advertised on www.stormfront.org, an established white nationalist fascist internet forum.



10 injured in attack at Tinley Park restaurant

By Dennis Sullivan and Dawn Rhodes Chicago Tribune

7:45 p.m. CDT, May 19, 2012

Ten people were injured this afternoon when a large group of people wielding bats and hammers burst into a south suburban restaurant and attacked a group of diners, according to officials and witnesses.

The incident occurred around 12:45 p.m. at the Ashford House Restaurant at 7959 W. 159th St. in Tinley Park, according to police and Mayor Ed Zabrocki.

The mayor said about 12 to 15 people were having a meeting inside the restaurant when another group of 15 to 18 people, wearing hooded black jackets, attacked them.

Zabrocki said it was not yet clear what connection there is between the two groups or what the motive may have been for the attack.

Three people were taken to area hospitals while the remaining victims refused medical attention, police said.

Five people believed to have been involved were being held at the Tinley Park police station this afternoon, according to Zabrocki.

When police responded to the scene, the attackers fled in three vehicles, Tinley Park police said. One vehicle and its passengers were caught about five minutes later near the intersection of 159th and Harlem, while the other vehicles fled the area.

Five people are in custody and are being questioned by police.

Police confirm the attackers were seeking a specific group of people dining in the restaurant.

A long-time waitress, who declined to give her name, said of the melee: “It was the scariest frickin’ day of my life.”

The woman later said outside the restaurant that she first noticed the group of victims in the parking lot around 12:30 p.m., milling around some cars with out-of-state plates.

The woman said they came to the restaurant as part of a reservation for 20 people, but none of them seemed to know each other.

She also said that she was a little wary of the diners because they told her they were part of an Irish heritage group, though none spoke in an Irish dialect or with an accent.

She went to the back of the restaurant to make salads and told another waitress to let her know if there was any trouble with the group.

About 15 minutes later, the second waitress told the woman that there was a brawl in the restaurant.

The woman said when she emerged, she saw the attacking group attacking patrons with bats and hammers.

All the dishes and plates were knocked off the tables and smashed, and people were either lying on the ground bleeding or crouched behind tables, she said.

She described one of the hammers left behind at the scene as a railroad hammer with a 24-inch handle.

“They took out the whole restaurant,” she said. “It was absolutely horrible.”

Another waitress said most of the attackers looked to be in their late teens. She also said the attackers screamed obscenities throughout the incident.

At one point, the first woman said, the restaurant’s manager chased after an attacker who tried to flee but was struck from behind and beaten.

The woman described the restaurant, where she has worked for eight years, as an Irish establishment that typically draws several generations of families.

“I call this place my Emerald Isle — the happiest place in the world,” she said. “The customers are old school. When I’m inside these walls, I feel secure, like in a big, giant family.”

Police said that the village believes the incident to be isolated and not a random attack. The incident is under investigation and police are receiving cooperation from the South Suburban Major Crimes Task Force.

Don't you miss the old days when it was just the mafia and they were easy to identify by their jewelry and suits? Also the restaurant might want to be careful on the "welcome white supremecists" marquee out front. What do they talk about at this summit? Which integrated establishments to boycott?
