In 1969, the trial of the Chicago Eight (later seven) began. (five were later convicted of crossing state lines to incite riots at the 1968 Dimocrat Corporate Meeting Convention, but the convictions were ultimately overturned.) #ChicagoSevenImagine the stupidity of trying to prove only eight people were responsible for the police riots on that day. And none of them were the police or the politicians who ordered the violence  |
