At least in 1968, you had a mayor of Chicago who was willing to use force to stop radicals from disrupting events, heavy handed maybe, but it stopped the city from burning. Sadly today, you have a mayor of Chicago who believes in radicalism, and likely will sit idly by while more violent elements of the protesters will attempt to invade the convention and will attack businesses and residents nearby, then this same mayor will make excuses and blame someone else for the chaos. Leadership matters, especially when you have to make tough decisions for the greater good; I can only hope the citizens of Chicago who live and work near the convention site are prepared for what is coming; if it is obvious that police have no support, you may need to take up arms; hopefully cooler heads prevail and protests are peaceful but vigilance is critical as well especially if the anarchists show up.
