Chicago Convention Redux? Hunter Clubbed By Cop at '68 ConventionUpdate: 2024-08-19
Description
The (oft considered) first time Hunter S. Thompson used the title “Fear and Loathing” came as a result of his attendance at the 1968 Democratic convention in Chicago—when a cop pushed a billy club into him like a “spear”. Will the police act the same amidst the legions of Gaza protesters descending on the Windy City for this week’s Democratic convention? Curtis Robinson and Christopher Tidmore analyze the parallels and differences to Hunter’s experience in 1968.
