You need to read “Days of Rage”: recounting when the hard Left absolutely was shooting & bombing, with support of local governments.
That’s a bit different from reality
Mayor Daley and his cops and the NG battled the Weathermen and the SDS and the various yippie factions in and around Grant Park in fall 1969
I watched on TV iwhile in 8th grade fascinated
The media was of course sympathetic to the marchers as they called
That Daley did not appreciate the hard left
The Weathermen after that splintered into above ground yippies and underground bombing radicals
Or they went home or back to school
Not meaning to fight but the city of Chicago was very hostile to them and rightfully so
I wish our cops today extracted a price from rioters
