Legal observers in green hats are part of Chicago protests
Chicago Tribune ^ | 8/24/18 | Christopher Borrelli

**SNIP**

Boyle is a Legal Observer with the Chicago chapter of the National Lawyers Guild, an 81-year-old organization of left-leaning lawyers who support progressive causes, founded as a counterweight to the famously conservative American Bar Association, which excluded African-Americans from membership until 1943.

There are about 100 Legal Observers with the Chicago chapter, trained volunteers whose job is to watch police during a protest, record any alleged violations of civil liberties and, according to the group’s directive, serve “as a deterrent to unconstitutional behavior.”

**SNIP**

“My job with the Lawyers Guild was to mobilize law students to help out (as observers),” said Bernardine Dohrn, a former assistant law professor at Northwestern University and member of the militant group the Weather Underground. “They were to get names of police and anyone arrested, watch how people were treated. It was kind of predictable. I think it’s safe to say we didn’t have much impact that day in terms of restraining police.”

Full title - They're watching, whether the whole world is watching or not. Legal observers in green hats are part of Chicago protests.

Maybe they should really lend a hand finding all of the violent killers. Just a thought.

"famously conservative American Bar Association"

I stopped reading at that point! The ABA has been a leftist organization for 30+ years!

It sickens me to realize that more than 58k brave American kids died in Vietnam in the 60s & 70s and the real threat was Bernardine Dohrn and the communists at home.

She cheered the Manson family murders which puts her in lockstep with Mao and the Black Panthers’ “kill your parents” rhetoric

Yes, and the dweeb that passes for Bernadine Dohrn’s “husband” wrote a book with a preface dedicating it to Sirhan Sirhan. Dohrn tried to get admitted to the Illinois Bar years ago and was turned down due to her filty background.

Notice the line where it links “conservative” with “barring African Americans from membership”? Jerks.

I hope these observers attend a BLM protest and get to experience some vibrant diversity firsthand.

Ayers’ father used to be head of Commonwealth Edison in Chicago; he threw his money around to get sinecures for his radical son and his even worse wife. Nothing will affect the mind of academia like the smell of money.
