“Do you not remember Chicago 1968?”

Incredibly, I saw the “riot” (not much of a riot) from a block or two away at the age of 10 or so, driving back from visiting the Museum of Science and Industry with my grandfather. He decided not to take Lake Shore Drive home.

You missed out. Go look at the video footage

The point is simply that a large crowd of people refused to move or leave. They were throwing rocks and bottles. There was police response and it made people nervous

It was a success for the vommies. Just like this wad

How many disrupters were at that 1968 convention?

How many were at yesterday’s Trump rally?

The same extreme left wing was/is responsible for both, and I’m wondering how big a movement it was back then as compared to now.
