Some leftist catholic priests were involved in some of the destruction. The democrat convention was a real free for all until Mayor Daly put out the order to stop them any way you wanted to...
My girlfriends brother was a cop in Chicago during those times and what the papers never told you was what the idiots were really doing (like now)..They would drive nails through tennis balls and throw at the cops, bags of feces and urine lobbing golf balls at the copes. etc etc etc....
According to the media, they were just poor victims of police brutality...Now they are all in the government, think of Obama's friends Ayres and Doren, /spelling wrong. I really didn't think the country would survive it was so violent in the cities and colleges, it spread like the plague across the country...
That is our major problem. The 60s 'Hippies' siezed control of the Democrat Party.
I hated those spoiled little rich-kid bastards in the 60s when I had to deal with them every day at school, and I hate them even more now when they have power in government.
Thanks a lot for that information, granny. That must have been something to witness. Nothing has been the same since then - good news that segregation was dismantled and bad news that the dems just rebuilt a system of hate doctrines and discrimination with a new tanner, Klan and a lighter shade of victim to debase and harm. :(
