4. I followed it all very closely after the events happened.. And it took more than a year to clear "The Chicago 7" of conspiracy to incite riot charges.
Their defense lawyer was F. Lee Bailey. He totally confused the jury and it was the beginning of "SHOCK defense" by lawyers, everywhere.
JERRY RUBINS, son of a Cincinnati lawyer, was one of the defendants in the trial, along with ABBY HOFFMAN.
You should search for these names on the internet and try to learn about the events that week.
Stephen Stills, guitarist for the group THE BUFFALO SPRINGFIELD, wrote a song about it. The title was...For What It's Worth...1969, album & CD "Retrospective".

ps. Wallace was never nominated, Hubert H. Humphrey was. Robert Kennedy was not shot in Chicago, but in LOS ANGELES on June 5,1968. (months before the convention in late August, 1968)

It was #4. The demonstrations outside the Democratic convention were broken up when the Chicago police force waded in with undue force to restrain the demonstrators. It has been termed by some pundits as a "police riot." But what was more phenomenal was that the delegates to the convention also demonstrated INSIDE the convention. The whole world was being ripped apart at the seams due to the government's lying to us about the Vietnam War.

The primary cause of the demonstrations and the subsequent riots during the 1968 Chicago convention was opposition to the Vietnam War. Young peace activists had met at a camp in Lake Villa, Illinois on March 23 to plan a protest march at the convention. Anti-war leaders including David Dellinger (editor of Liberation magazine and chairman of the National Mobilization Committee to End War in Vietnam) Rennie Davis, head of the Center for Radical Research and a leader of Students for a Democratic Society (SDS), Vernon Grizzard, a draft resistance leader, and Tom Hayden (also a leader of the Students for a Democratic Society) coordinated efforts with over 100 anti-war groups.

Hippies have been anti-employer. They weren't Democrats or Republicans. in actuality, I have not got any doubt that as quickly as they have been ultimately allowed to vote, they voted for Nixon to end the conflict. they only needed to alter the hypocrisy that become so many times happening in society in the 50's and 60's. using fact of this they ultimately sucked in multiple the older era into their reasons to boot. a number of them meant to instigate the police brutality to learn sympathy for their reason, even though it backfired. It relatively had no longer something to do with democrats different than the Vietnam conflict being persevered via a democratic president.
