Violent Anti-Racist Thugs Go To Prison

From the Chicago Tribune: Five men charged in connection with a brawl between alleged white supremacists and anti-racists inside a Tinley Park restaurant pleaded guilty today and will serve sentences ranging from 3 ½ to 6 years in prison.
At a hearing on a motion to suppress evidence in the case Friday, brothers Dylan, Cody and Jason Sutherlin and co-defendants Alex Stuck and John S. Tucker all agreed to plea deals with prosecutors, pleading guilty to three of the 37 counts they were charged with.
“We were ready to go to trial,” said Brian Barrido, lawyer for Dylan Sutherlin. “I was very surprised when they said they wanted to take the plea … but I think they did the math, and if the trial didn’t start for a year or six months, they might be out just as soon” as they would under the plea deal.
The five men, all from the Bloomington, Ind., area, are members of the Hoosier Anti-Racist Movement, and had driven to Tinley Park May 19 to confront a group of alleged white supremacists who had planned to meet at the restaurant.
The Sutherlins have maintained they had planned to stage a “peaceful protest,” but security video shows as many as 18 men entering Ashford House, some wearing masks and carrying batons and other club-like objects. Within minutes, a melee broke out among the two groups, and several bystanders also were injured in the scuffle.  http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/suburbs/tinley_park/chi-5-plead-guilty-in-antiracist-attack-at-tinley-park-restaurant-20130104,0,3711102.story
So, you have a bunch of anti-racist thugs who decide to physically fight supposed racists but were just having a meeting or breakfast or lunch or something.
A dollar to doughnuts, the anti-racist thugs were supporters of President Obama.
