Analysis

Chicago, 1968: Anti-war protests, a divided Democratic Party, an unpopular candidate hobbled by a foreign military conflict.

Protests are planned for this August's Democratic National Convention.

Chicago has refused to give the necessary permits, citing lack of police resources & security concerns.

The city has offered an alternative protest site four miles away & out of sight from convention-goers.

Organizers say "unacceptable" & have sued.

The “chaos” in 68 was caused by the police, on the order of old demo bigshot Mayor Daley. So, if last week in NYC is any indication, it may again happen in Chicago. Let’s hope this time better heads prevail.

Proud Boys traveled from San Antonio to the 3rd precinct in MPLS 2020 so they will show up for the DNC Aug 16-19. They don't care about permits. ( I wish for everyone to blow kazoos anytime they see proud boys/patriot front/oathkeepers etc.)

I fear chaos during the RNC July 15-18, in Milw as well. Why did they pick Milwaukee??

I'm sure the terroristic Republicans have plans. (CPAC declared themselves domestic terrorists.)
