"...the Duality of Democracy..." Kahlua Harris
Is history about to repeat itself? Look at the similarities.
The 1968 Democratic National Convention, held in Chicago from August 26 to August 29, 1968, was marked by significant political and social turmoil. Here's a summary of what happened:
1. **Political Context**:
- The convention was held during a tumultuous year in American history, following the assassinations of Martin Luther King Jr. in April and Robert F. Kennedy in June, and amidst the ongoing Vietnam War.
2. **Protests**:
- **Anti-War Demonstrations**: Thousands of protesters, primarily young people, students, and anti-war activists, gathered in Chicago to protest against the Vietnam War and the Democratic Party's policies. They were met with a heavy police presence.
- **Violence**: The Chicago police, under Mayor Richard J. Daley, responded with what was later described as excessive force. The confrontations between protesters and police became violent, leading to what was termed a "police riot" by the National Commission on the Causes and Prevention of Violence.
- **Media Coverage**: The clashes were extensively covered by the media, with live television broadcasts showing the brutality, which shocked many viewers.
3. **Inside the Convention**:
- **Nomination**: Vice President Hubert Humphrey was nominated as the Democratic candidate for President. This was contentious because Humphrey had not participated in the primaries, which were dominated by anti-war candidates like Eugene McCarthy and the late Robert Kennedy.
- **Divisions**: The convention itself was divided. Many delegates and supporters of McCarthy felt the process was undemocratic, leading to significant internal strife.
4. **Cultural Impact**:
- The events in Chicago became symbolic of the broader generational and political divide in the United States. They highlighted issues of civil liberties, police conduct, and the deep divisions over the Vietnam War.
5. **Aftermath**:
- The violence and the perception of a rigged nomination process contributed to Humphrey's narrow loss to Richard Nixon in the general election.
- The convention led to reforms in the Democratic Party's nomination process, aiming for more openness and inclusivity, which included changes in delegate selection rules.
6. **Legal and Social Repercussions**:
- Several protesters and activists were charged, leading to the famous Chicago Seven trial, where defendants were accused of conspiring to incite riots. The trial itself became another focal point for debates on civil rights and political dissent.
The 1968 DNC convention remains a landmark event in American political history, illustrating the deep social and political fractures of the era.

once word gets out that there will be riots, looting, people will becoming in from all over the country to partake in the festivities
As the Democratic National Convention is underway, local and federal officials are on high alert for a possible biochemical attack.
CBS reported that the Department of Defense funded decontamination rooms to be set up at Rush University Hospital in preparation for such an event.
Rush University is located in Chicago, Illinois, just minutes from the venue where the DNC will be hosted.
Numerous store locations have boarded up their windows in anticipation of possible violence as thousands of protesters gather outside.

We shall see, I think, even listening to the 2 people you posted, that the locals will have their own show where they burn down their own hoods seperate from the convention.

That goes without saying. Id say the chances are about 60 -40 in my favor. I could be wrong, but I hear they are bussing in Palestine protesters from other citys so its going to be grand , rumors of bricks be dropped off. I cant say 100% certain, Im not Miss Cleo , but doesn't look good to me.

Dont need to be a psychic to know there is gonna be a major shit storm in Chicago. I saw something that estimated over 30,000 antifa scum there already. Some official from Chi PD was on the news the other day saying he wouldnt leave other parts of the city unpatrolled to cover the trouble at the convention. I hope they have enough National Guard there. Those guys are probably hot to crack some crullers, they dont get a lot of opportunities to do that. Gonna be a lot of wood shampoos out there.

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson is worried Texas may drop off thousands of illegal migrants into the city during the Democrat Convention this week
Beatriz Ponce de León, the Chicago deputy mayor for immigration, said the city could receive as many as 25,000 migrants ahead of the convention.
Migrant organization leader Andre Gordillo is also expecting a ton to be dropped off this week, "We realistically expect 750-1,000 new arrivals next week."
DO IT! If there was ever a time to bus migrants to Chicago, it's NOW.
Let them understand the consequences of the border they have left wide open

Hey.... If you people (yeah, I called you people, you people....) do not want to watch the Convention of the Left, no worries; I will be glued to the TV/computer. Hoping to miss very little of it.
I will do hourly post updates....

Just wondering, if the Repubs are supposed to be so evil, why were there no significant protests/demonstrations and riots at the RNC?

I'm going to enjoy the DNC shit show. LOL ... I have a big smile on my face right now.
This is coming from a person who doesn't smile very much. A couple of days from now I wouldn't doubt that I have a bounce in my step too. LOL
If the mostly peaceful protesters manage to make it through security and inside the convention itself and creates problems. I'll be so happy that I just might strut a little bit.
I've been waiting for this moment, I can only hope that they eat each other alive.

This was mentioned on a phone call that I had a couple hours ago with another member here. Weird.....
The Governor of Illinois J.B. Pritzker has activated hundreds of armed National Guard troops to protect Democrat officials at the DNC from their OWN leftist protestors & rioters “They are at the perimeter... We also want to make sure we have additional law enforcement type folks who are in uniform, and who are trained to be police available.”
The Guard, Secret Service, FBI, and dozens of other agencies will be assisting Chicago police during the convention.
