Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker says that approximately 150 members of the state’s National Guard will be in Chicago during the Democratic National Convention this week, but emphasized they are present in a standby role.
1968. I recommend reading Conspiracy in the Streets and Trial of the Chicago 7. One is strictly transcripts from the court record, the other narrates some of what was happening. Reading them in tandem gave me a much greater understanding of the proceedings than either could alone. The judge was crooked as shit and obviously going senile.
What I don’t recommend is the Netflix movie written by Aaron Sorkin because it isn’t accurate and he changes the story in ways that pervert the story. Unless you want to watch it with full knowledge that a dickbag is misrepresenting a lot of things. A fun fact that he left out was that they started as the Chicago 8 and the racist dickbag judge horribly mistreated Bobby Seale of the Black Panthers. One other fun fact is that the Panthers started in my wonderful city of Oakland.
