Below are photos how the 1968 Chicago rioters were handled.

During the summer of 1968, in central Illinois, I was standing on top of a Route 66 railroad overpass walking the shoulder, when a convoy of military jeeps went by in a line that literally stretched out for over a mile, bending at a curve in the road in one continuous column, all bound for Chicago. I stood there at 11 years old, awestruck, as vehicles zipped by one after the other, numbering in the hundreds.
I knew the soldiers were on their way into Chicago to do street battle with the hippie and yippie Viet Nam war protestors, that had filled our black and white television sets with nightly news images of monstrous clashes between them and the Chicago police.
