Weatherman ....Declared "war on Amerikkka" at its Flint War Council in 1969
**************************EXCERPT******************

The opening "Days of Rage" salvo, designed to glorify the anarchist movement, was the October 8 demolition of a statue dedicated to the memory of eight policemen who had been killed in the Haymarket Labor Riot of 1886. Thereafter, some 300 people -- both members and supporters of the Weatherman agenda -- ravaged Chicago's business district, smashing windows and destroying automobiles. Six people were shot and seventy were arrested. The violence continued, though on a smaller scale, for each of the next two nights. As Sixties historian Todd Gitlin observed, however, no popular uprising was sparked by these events, much to the group's dismay. Notable "Days of Rage" leaders included Bill Ayers, now a Professor of Education at the University of Illinois, and Mark William Rudd, currently a mathematics professor at a New Mexico community college.
My friend Roger and I followed Mark Rudd around Purdue for seven hours as he spoke in excited fashion before groups from 5,000 on the grass to seventeen on the living room rug.Sitting next to him on the carpet I asked him what he was doing.
He replied smilingly that he and his friends were out to change things but he couldn't talk about it as his friends (the frowners in the red armbands) were suspicious of Roger and me with our Beaulieu 16mm and tape recorder. "They think you guys are cops," Mark Rudd explained.
He seemed quite the amiable speed freak.
I wondered who was paying him and who was providing his dope.
Roger scored an Econoline and sawed a hatch in the roof. We screwed mesh to the windows and went up to Chicago for the Days of Rage October 8-11, 1969.
I will say Daley's police army was formeedablay.
Pigeon's egg blue helmeted platoons, white shirts, in formation.
No crossing the street to the block of the hotel housing Judge Hoffman of the Chicago Eight. A bullhorn informing it was forbidden.
Continuous convoys crisscrossing the city composed of three four-door Chevrolets in black, blue, light blue, tan, white, followed by a black wagon.
The Tactical Police Unit's black metro bus with its meshed windows disgorging its black leather gladiators wielding the long sticks.
Clustered trench-coated Dick Tracy's around milk carton walkie talkies as we entered the park.
And in the park's parking lot, the simultaneous arrival of lots of hardtops and convertibles spitting out twenties and thirties-something young men with short hair punching their palms in anticipation of a little ultraviolence. Plain-clothes cops yippie eye oh.
The too-serious-taking-of-themselves "Maoists" were wearing rags from Salvation Army counters, the odd bandana or rag around the arm, or the mouth or the head or the knee, the boots, the boots, the boots.
A bullhorn as the smoke thickens over the hastily assembled pile of broken police barricades, black and white stripes smoldering smokily. That nasty smoke in the city night trees. I mean it's Chicago.
A garbled exhortation and BANG they're off!
We got back to the van and were repeatedly cut off by the police convoys, sirens and sirens, here and there, here and there.
We trailed a path of broken glass--and the crews were out already, the 24-Hour-Emergency-Board-Up-Service pickup trucks their headache racks loaded with sheets of plywood, sawhorses on the sidewalks, circular saws screaming, covering the revolution.
Theater goers stepping over the broken glass of the revolution.
In the restaurants we asked what they thought of the revolution.
"Whatta I think! Whatta I think! I'll tell ya what I think I think they belong in JAIL that's what I think!"
And we understand those seven Episcopal churches were not the sanctuary the exhuberant Rudd & Co thought they'd be.
O the humanity--they gave a revolution and no one came.
I wound up in Boston later and "trashing" was the revolution. A trashcan through a window substituted for storming the Bastille.
You know, I knew a troubled son of privilege such as Bill Ayers in that day who fancied himself the rebel-rebel.
He bragged he and his father passed Jack Paar in the apartment elevator hall on occasion.
The System, Comrades!
We'll all get mansions like Hussein and send our children to fancy schools and throw thousands at their dance lessons--
--for the workers!
Showing daddy, killing daddy, Oedipussies.
The End
