Panic shot through the small Tinley Park restaurant as quickly as the stream of determined, black-clad assailants marched in, clubs and hammers in hand.

Several of the masked attackers targeted the bystanders, but authorities say the majority homed in on a long table — filled with who the attackers believed were about a dozen white supremacists meeting for lunch.

Those charged include three brothers, Jason W. Sutherlin, 33, Cody L. Sutherlin, 23, and Dylan J. Sutherlin, 20. Also charged were Alex R. Stuck, 22, and John S. Tucker, 26. All five live near Bloomington, Ind.

The men are connected to the Hoosier Anti-Racist Movement, which is part of the Anti-Racist Action Network that formed in Minneapolis in 1987 to address discrimination, according to a leader in the organization, Jacob Domke.

4. While I understand the sentiment, this is unacceptable behavior.

Imagine if this was the other way around. People would be going nuts, not posting jokes and giving support to the attackers. Vigilantism is always wrong, so I've been told many times here, we can't make exceptions.

Suppose these same guys attacked the Black Israelites or another black racist group?

There might not be enough popcorn in the world for that thread.

8. I agree

Violence only breeds more violence. This story is so disturbing in many respects.

5. i wonder if there is a previous history between the two groups...

9. Between ARA and neo-Nazis? Of course there is.

The ARA was largely created to confront them.

6. I tend to agree with the restaurant owner . . .

Ashford House owner Mike Winston said he would not release the video of the attack and blamed both groups for the altercation.
