The 68 Chicago Riots

Bobby Seale also caught serious legal trouble in 1969 as a result of his participation in the 1968 Chicago riots over the Democratic National Convention. That year's DNC occurred in one of the most tumultuous periods in American history. The police turned on left wing protesters with unspeakable violence and the city burned. And it, for a little bit of context, all of the people who know their history right now are fucking terrified that the DNC in 2020 is going to be another 68 Chicago.
