<div>As a member of this list, I seldom post as my learning disabilities drive
most of you into a rage of frustration, which reflects on the written word as a
poor means to communicate when you are handicapped sure as I. The wrong
tenses, mi- spellings, rambling sentence structures all lead to the delete key,
but like the little train climbing the mountain I continue to try to be heard
while some of you make statements as if you all were elected Pope.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>But to the chase, I was a member of C.O.R.E in the early 1960’s, and
I also spent a great deal of time in bars surrounding the University of Chicago,
daughter graduated from that fine university in the 1990’s by the way,
where students drank shots and mugs of beers were lifted in the defense of
liberals and Americans of color before Johnson was elected. Sanders was there
too but that’s another story for another time. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Later when the Dem’s held their Convention Chicago in 1968, I was arrested
on Michigan Ave during the protest’s against the War in Asia and mostly
these protesters were of the same age as the young people(16-30) who
now are supporting Sanders to the tune of 8-1 against the powers to be. The
police, I had 5 family members who were Chicago Police officers at that
time, and my uncle Anthony was the guy driving Hubert around the city. I knew
both sides, and still to this day wonder what would have happened if we
had guns, rocks and bottles was all that was present to the protesters, and what
would have happened if we were armed when the Cops started beating the
hell out of with their clubs. It was a un fair fight, we were many but
they were few and we took the beating of Mayor Daley’s police. Now the
police were told that we were armed and dangerous and that we had come to
Chicago to stop the convention, and start a wave of protest which would spread
across the country and overthrow the Government. That was the propaganda ,
but reality was we were just attempting to get the War stopped. Our guy was
McCarthy, and he was going to stop the War. No Guns just rocks and bottles
against Armed police, and a government that thought we were attempting to
overthrow it with flowers. Our marching cry was “make love not war’. At
the height of the protest on Michigan Ave, The National guard was there with M-1
rifles and with bayonet's drawn, young protesters were giving them flowers and
asking them to join us in stopping the war. 50,000 strong and with not
one gun among us when the police charged.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>The war was terminally killed when the Ohio National guard
charged with guns ablaze wounded many and killed 6 student protesters at
Kent State after Nixon was Elected defeating HHH in 1968. Some 20
year old National guard soldier , WITH a Rifle, got scared
pulled his trigger that started the Mob killing of their fellow
Americans and started the end the war because of the outrage caused to the
American middle class; these were their kids dying on the hills of OHIO
not in the Jungles of Nam.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Here is the point, America is Not the same country as it was in
1968. A third of it’s GOP voters want us all to have guns and carry
them just in case we get cut off while driving on an expressway, and need
to pay that somebody back for their bad habits. Single events of
road rage happen across this country daily. Kid school’s and theaters are shot
up. And 911, and bomb threats, and terrorist attacks. and the candidate's
telling us that if the bullets were going back at the terrorists both
in Paris and San Bernardino we would have had a different outcome. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Lastly the Candidate said if he is denied there will be a riot, which is a
call to arms isn’t it.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>But now take the single rage and make it in a mob who fear that their
rights and way of life is threaten, who believe the police are there to hurt
them and the Government which they believe to be totally
corrupt and that government has given 50 million dollars to Cleveland for
security, you are in a forest that was not rain on it in 40 years, and
give 32000 of them each a flamer thrower. The forest will burn and
the results will change history, think Ekatinburg in 1914 and the powers
to be will have caused it. To quote Gump “stupid is as stupid does” and
McConnell and Ryan are not that smart.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>This will happen as sure as grass grows in Indiana in the Summer time, if
TRUMP is not given the Gop’s nod. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>And America will change, just like 1933 when Germany changed with 32
percent of the vote. </div>
