Already had a Republican nut-job try an assassination this year... no reason to think they won't try, again.

With the political climate, not a bad idea.

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.

Here we go. Sending cops to beat down people who are against genocide again.

If we don't beat the shit out of them how will the world know we aren't anti-semitic?

It was /s. I'm on the side of the protesters.

Beatings will continue until morale over dead children improves. Now go vote or you'll have more beatings under the next guy!
