Yes. This will be 1968 all over again.

In 1968 Chicago, the police fought back, hard. Leaving lefties with bleeding skulls kind of hard. The police had the full backing of their mayor.

Now, not so much.

Sounds like U district, Fremont, and lake union. Oops! I forgot Broadway.

They will. Just wait. All part of the plan to further overtake the Dems (not that they needed any help). Just optics, folks.

“Hope it outdoes 1968!”

As riots go, it was pretty tame. I was blocks away from it (I had been at the Museum of Science and Industry with my grandfather) and then we watched it on local TV. A little blood, a little tear gas, a little wood shampooing.

Just like the REAL Mayor Daley said: “Gentlemen, let’s get this thing straight, once and for all. The policeman is not here to create disorder. The policeman is here to preserve disorder.”

I still admire Daly, the senior, for his actions in ‘68.

“Instead, she and other figures inside the Democratic party are trying to nudge Sanders into dropping in order to save face and avoid damaging the party’s share in the duopoly of political power.”

Bernie probably doesn’t give a crap about “damaging” the Democrat “duopoly” and probably can’t be “nudged” either since Bernie has always been a socialist and NOT a member of the Democrat party until just a few months ago as a matter of convenience.

I've a feeling it might be worse. Police still had a handle on things back then as crazy as it was. I was just a kid but remember1968 was just a bad bad year:

The Democrats want to skip 1968 and go right to 1917.
