some National Guard troops. But I think that we are well past the thin end of the wedge.

I know that a lot of people, maybe most, do not believe that the military will fire on US civilians, or at least not with intentional lethal force. Or, at least not without orders from the very top, like hundreds of generals and admirals all together summoned by the Secretary of War.

I think that it is a good time for those with so much confidence in the military to state their case.

10. Bobby Seale, Bound and Gagged

Bobby Seale had not participated in the advance planning for the demonstration, but was arrested and tried with the MOBE members. A co-founder of the Black Panthers, Seale had gone to Chicago as a last-minute replacement for Eldridge Cleaver. Seale, whose lawyer was unavailable due to hospitalization, was denied both a continuance and self-representation. Seale verbally lashed out, interrupting the proceedings. On October 29, 1969, in an extraordinary move, Judge Julius Hoffman ordered Bobby Seale bound and gagged. His trial was severed from the Chicago Eight on November 5, 1969. Finding him in contempt, Hoffman sentenced Seale to four years in prison, appealed at, U.S. v. Seale, 461 F.2d 345 (1972). As he was led from the courtroom, spectators shouted "Free Bobby!"

I hope Gov Pritzker, the Illinois Police, & Illinois State Guard, if needed, will take care of it.
