Like 1968, or will the police stand down?

And that's even not counting the ordinary criminals who will be running loose on all those targets of opportunity.

And it will be televised. (smirk)

Mayor Richard Daley SR. is long gone, so is that police force, so there shan't be any repeat of the police taking charge!

But as it was, in 1968, many protestors SHALL be TRAINED for this one.

I actually stumbled upon Abbey Hoffman and that ilk TRAINING a large gaggle of MORONS being TRAINED, in Central Park,by accident, one Saturday, in the summer of '68, on my way to somewhere else. So when they were in Chicago and the newsmen were claiming that it all was "just a spontaneous reaction". I KNEW that that was a LIE!

Follow Kamala-la-la-la's advice ...

“This is a movement, I’m telling you. They’re not going to stop. And everyone beware, because they’re not going to stop. They’re not going to stop before Election Day in November, and they’re not going to stop after Election Day. And that should be — everyone should take note of that, on both levels, that they’re not going to let up, and they should not, and we should not.” - Kamala-la-la-la Harris

And Michael Brown's stepfather Louis Head ...

If Chicago is smart, the Chicago Fire Department water cannons will be out in force!

But, is Chicago smart enough or have the will power to use them on Antifa and BLM rioters?

Some enterprising individuals need to have a few pig roasts going in the vicinity during the DNC.

Since most will be Dems, the cops will be told to stand down - no matter how much damage they cause...

I doubt Joe Biden is going to show up in Chicago. He’ll make his speech at the White House. Then they’ll show his video at the convention in Chicago.

Democrat protesters could burn the city down and they’d get a pass... just like they did with the over 500 riots they had during the covid pandemic. And the press would stand in front of burning buildings and say the ‘protest was peaceful’...

This isn’t our first rodeo...

The 1968 protests didn't happen like people think.

The protests were done out of grant park. The police had a large presence there.
The Rat Convention was at the International Amphitheater...miles away.
The protesters never got anywhere near the convention.

While the United Center area may be better than so-so, the neighborhoods surrounding the United Center neighborhood have an income lower than 97% of America.
I'm guessing the protesters maybe be, er, um, “put upon” by some.
I ain't sayin, I'm just sayin.

The Chicago cops of today ain't the same as then.

I don't go into that city anymore.
The areas that used to be safe are no longer safe.
It should be interesting.
