#1 One Party system Chicago is the model that the Dems are hoping to achieve nation wide. A "Green Zone" of safety will be established for attendees and the media. Welcome to the New Theresienstadt.

#3 Chicago and the DNC deserve each other, the same way two mating vipers do, and for the same reasons.

#4 A "Green Zone" of safety will be established for attendees and the media.

I dunno, B. They don't have Dick Daley anymore, the Chicago police are certainly not what they were in 1968 and, IIRC, even then Hubert Humphrey got a whiff of tear gas. Better stock up on popcorn.

#5 Peace Plank Defeated
As things heated up in Grant Park, they also heated up on the convention floor. The peace plank was defeated, a huge blow to the peace delegates and millions of Americans who wanted the Vietnam War to end, and the delegates erupted into chaos.

In the words of one delegate, “We were desolate. All of the work that we had done, all of the effort we had made had, it seemed to us, come to naught…our hearts were broken.”

By nightfall, a standoff had ensued in front of the Hilton between thousands of angry protestors and thousands of police officers. No one knows who or what triggered the first blow, but soon police began clearing out the crowd, pummeling protestors (and innocent bystanders) with billy clubs and using so much tear gas that it reportedly reached Humphrey some 25 floors up as he watched the bedlam unfold from his hotel room window.
