Chicago DNC Security, 1968 Convention Comparisons
Chicago is preparing for the Democratic National Convention with heavy security fencing and a "hardened perimeter" around the United Center. Police Superintendent Larry Snelling stated that while protesting is a right, rioting will not be tolerated, referencing the chaos of the 1968 convention. Protesters focused on the Gaza conflict have negotiated for sound equipment and portable toilets near the venue.
