Consultant worries 2024 Chicago Democratic National Convention may repeat 1968
CHICAGO -- Activist groups planning protests for the Democratic National Convention filing for an injunction Tuesday, on top of the lawsuit they've filed in federal court against the city's blocking of their protest plans.Meanwhile, with tension building, some comparisons are already being made to Chicago's notoriously chaotic Democratic National Convention of 1968, which still haunts the Democratic Party 56 years later.Political consultant Don Rose lived through it.
This puts them in a completely different part of town.'Unfortunately, the city today seems to be taking a, using, Mayor Richard J. Daley's handbook by denying permits – shunting people off who want to take a march line or be within proximity of where the convention is going on,' Rose said. As it happens, Grant Park was also the site of some of the most infamous and violent skirmishes between police and protesters during the 1968 convention.
