    I remember many hours of broadcasts from this scene. Although as a Canadian Liberal Party supporter, I was astonished at what could happen at a Democratic convention, given that Libs and Dems are basically cut from the same cloth.

    It was a police riot, ordered, abetted by Mayor Daley. The sight of the beatings, blood and oppression kept me riveted to my TV for 48 hours or so, and bolstered my resolve to not grow up to be my parents, who had no regard for the hippies in the news.

    I failed.

    It’s obvious that some of the posters here still have milk on their breath because they think this video is funny. If you were around in 1968, you would realize that there were very few events to laugh at back then. Dan Rather went places and took chances that few other reporters did during that period. Let’s see what some of you who don’t seem to have a clue are doing with your lives down the road. Are you adding something to the world or just sitting around running off at the mouth?
