http://kingencyclopedia.stanford.edu/encyclopedia/encyclopedia/enc_memphis_sanitation_workers_strike_1968/ Loeb called for martial law and brought in 4,000 National Guard troops. The following day, over 200 striking workers continued their daily march, carrying signs that read, “I Am a Man†(Honey, 389). At a news conference held before he returned to Atlanta, King said that he had been unaware of the divisions within the community, particularly of the presence of a black youth group committed to “Black Power†called the Invaders, who were accused of starting the violence. The following evening, as King was getting ready for dinner, he was shot and killed on the balcony of the Lorraine Motel. ... |

http://kingencyclopedia.stanford.edu/encyclopedia/encyclopedia/enc_memphis_sanitation_workers_strike_1968/ Ok. Thanks. Let's hope that this convention event doesn't end in bloodshed. And that, what it seems to going to be, many armed people around the sealed arena knows how to behave. |

Riots and National Guard involved yes. That is the definition of Martial Law. The Military is otherwise not permitted in our civil society. |

http://kingencyclopedia.stanford.edu/encyclopedia/encyclopedia/enc_memphis_sanitation_workers_strike_1968/ Afraid of a repeat of the 1968 Democrat Convention in Chicago? The battle of Michigan Avenue, August 28, 1968... ~ 23,000 Police and National Guard vs. ~ 10,000 protesters... It got... Ugly. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fqNkmZ3n_bc https://youtu.be/iY57ErBkFFE #Texit Don't blame me, I voted for Johnson(L) in 2016. Truth is dangerous... especially when it challenges those in power. |

You don't get to pick and choose laws just to make your job easy. If you don't feel you can do the job as your employer expects, quit!Too bad Hillary doesn't get that message........ "Sour Grapes make a bitter Whine." <(0)> |

Afraid of a repeat of the 1968 Democrat Convention in Chicago? I only remember that the US in the late sixties had a lot of problem with riots. Riots that the police couldn't handle properly. This convention is dubbed “Make America Safe Againâ€. So when was America safe? To me it looks like much more safer now then it perhaps ever have. Definitly more safe than in the sixties. Well. There is the problem with mass shootings of course happening quite often now... |

So what's really the point of these conventions nowadays? I just saw on the news the anti-Trump people were suppressed today, and Trump is going to be the nominee regardless. The mind is a weird and mysterious place |

I'm going to try to stay up past my bedtime and watch Melania. BBC - US election: Melania Trump 'plagiarised' Michelle Obama WP - Melania Trump’s speech appears to have cribbed from Michelle Obama’s in 2008 Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. |
