No memories. But, I will bump it.

So whats the hold-up on this legal action?

Have you had a look at who controls the federal government lately?

[mnehring]

US Code, Title 18, Part 1, Section 102

§ 2101. Riots

(a) Whoever travels in interstate or foreign commerce or uses any facility of interstate or foreign commerce, including, but not limited to, the mail, telegraph, telephone, radio, or television, with intent—

(3) to commit any act of violence in furtherance of a riot; or

(4) to aid or abet any person in inciting or participating in or carrying on a riot or committing any act of violence in furtherance of a riot;

and who either during the course of any such travel or use or thereafter performs or attempts to perform any other overt act for any purpose specified in subparagraph (A), (B), (C), or (D) of this paragraph— ^[1]

Before my time, but a most excellent idea. Kudos

The state controlled academia and media (SCAM) are hoping for some kind of demonstrator-initiated confrontation with the police so they can scream about another "police riot."

That is what Chicago came to be described. A "police riot." Never mind what the Marxist-Alinsky revolutionary rabble did -- by 1968 the New Left owned the media. After Nixon was elected that year the media became part of the New Left, helped take over the Democratic Party to become the Rat Party, and they are all now arguably the Establishment.

As I recall the commercially published report about the riots (Walker Report?) had a photo on the cover of South African police attacking blacks -- none of the photos of the event supported the tenor of the biased, vicious report attacking the police. As I recall.

the charges which were brought, and made to stick

Only after the Dem administration was replaced by a Republican one:

According to Wikipedia: "However, President Lyndon Johnson's Attorney General, Ramsey Clark, discouraged an indictment, believing that the violence during the convention was primarily caused by actions of the Chicago police. The grand jury returned indictments only after President Richard Nixon took office and John Mitchell assumed the office of Attorney General."

BTW, Obama's pal, Bill Ayers, was a leader in the "Days of Rage" riots.

That group was known as "The Chicago Seven", represented by ACLU Lawyer William Kunzler, I think. It included Abbie Hoffman, and Tom Hayden (who married Jane Fonda, aka, "Hanoi Jane"). Hayden went on to become elected to Congress, from (where else), Kalifornia.

A bunch of Hippie pukes who were the darlings of Ayers and the Weathermen crowds......
