Will Chicago Repeat 1968?

At Least 100 Arrested In Occupy Chicago Protest : NPR: "Anti-Wall Street demonstrators of the Occupy Chicago movement stood their ground in a downtown park in noisy but peaceful defiance of police orders to clear out, prompting at least 100 arrests early Sunday, authorities said.

Occupy Chicago spokesman Joshua Kaunert vowed after the arrests that protests would continue in the Midwest city."

This is not funny. In 1968 - I was there in the thick of it - Daley and cops managed to turn a peaceful provocation into a bloodbath and we ended up with Nixon. I would think Rahm would know this even if he was too young to participate. We need to underline the nonviolent nature of this protest and its ubiquity.
