Bobby Seale had *No Lawyer* and was saved by Fred Hampton, hours before Hampton was kilt.

In 1969, the FBI designated the BPP as a "domestic terrorist organization." This designation was highly controversial. The BPP was removed from the FBI's terrorist list in 1975.

I forget they do some serious stuff around here sometimes.

Considering I lived in Chicago and was personally down at Grant & Lincoln parks at different times; your analysis of this topic is very accurate. SDS (Students for a Democratic Society) & the Yippie party were quite popular at the time. All counterculture "Under-ground" newspapers (Like Chicago's "The Seed") carried a lot of local info on what was happening, where, & when. Bobby Seal's situation was also fully covered in the "Black Panther Party News" during the events. The police did use mounted officers on horses to charge at & attack protesters as well. Street riots broke out when police attempted to force & herd people into cordoned off streets as a measure to exercise confinement & control tactics. (Standard military tactic employed against civil unrest) Of course tear gas, mace & nightsticks were liberally employed. As expected, there were some deliberate agitators in the different crowds. But for the most part, protestors did not resort to violence initially. One of my relatives who was on the police force actually told me ahead of time don't go down there, because " we are going to kick those Hippies asses". Thus, a police force induced riot ultimately was prompted for the purpose of exercising violence & intimidation. The Vietnam War was a hot topic then. The youth of America did not want to die in a foreign war which had nothing to do with them directly. And years later, the truth about things like the fabricated incident in the "Gulf of Tonkin" came out. Unless you are over 50 yrs. old you may not truly be aware of the highly increased censorship & control of the American populace. The rules, regulations, & taxes are now limitless. But then again, I remember back in the 60's this is what we were warned about.

I really appreciated the choice to not have the cheesy, playful background music you guys usually have. I know the decision has been made before, just pointing it out again. It’s a great touch to a serious piece of education.

Just added The Trial of the Chicago 7 to my March Watchlist.

A+ video! Fascinating history on the trial!

PLEASE BRING BACK TIMELINE!

"Did you ever hear of the Seattle Seven? That was me ... and six other guys." The Dude

Hey voice over guy. In my opinion this was a much better reading! Your voice was loud, clear and enthusiastic! Good job!

Has the old man who used to narrate these videos retired?

Thanks for this! ⚖

1:43 When we moved to my hometown, we had a food co-op with a network of families in the rural area. The food was all bought from various places.

I'm not gonna lie, I got these dudes confused with the West Memphis Three until I watched the vid lol speaking of you should make a video on them as well.

Could you do a video on the genicide in Cambodia under Pol Pot.

Thanks for covering this. I was unaware at the time since my dad kept the TV off as soon as the news started showing clips of the Viet Nam war. We were really little, so I understand now.

Ok no offense but where is the funny narrator

Chicago 7, very naaaaaaiiiice

Do the Central Park 5 next

I haven't heard of this

I am going to watch: x What Training for Vietnam War Was Like (1st recommendation, second time watching) x The Tragic Story of the 'Burst of Joy' Vietnam Photograph (2nd recommendation, second time watching) x What Life Was Like for a POW In Vietnam x What It Was Like During The Golden Age Of Flying

Excellent. I’d like you to do/look into the death of Terry Kath in 1978, founding member/singer/guitarist from Chicago the band. The band claims that Terry was under the influence at the time of his death; however, his Autopsy/Toxicology Report states there was no alcohol and only trace doses of cocaine in his body. His Death Certificate states an Investigatory Autopsy was not performed even though he died but what was released public ally as an accidental self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head. Additionally, There are reports that there was a party he was attending at roadie Don Johnson’s place and then that is taken back and said there was no party. There was a claim that Terry was seated at the kitchen table at the time of his death by Robert Lamm, co founder of Chicago, but police reports say living room couch. The drummer in the band, Danny Seraphine, states he received the news of Terry’s death while in his car on the way home from a Laker’s game at the Forum yet in records of games for the 77-78 season, there is no game for 01/23/78 listed. Danny was present when police arrived at the resident of Don Johnson. Danny also states in his book, Street Player, that some people walked in after Terry’s death, but prior to the police arriving on the scene. It would be nice to get a truthful account of what actually occurred when Terry Kath died.

There’s actually an OG trial of the Chicago 7 film. It’s also very good

The 1960s - what an embarrassment of a decade socially & politically on both sides of the isle

yes

6:40 I wonder what the narrator did to get arrested

Please do a video on the counterculture hippie movement of the 1960’s, as I’m sure you’ll get plenty of material from it. You could talk about the lifestyles they lived & the camps they lived in. I also hear Volkswagen was a very popular brand with them. PLEASE! 😊

1:44 I am surprised there aren't more true artist collectives today. Many famous artists were part of those groups.

The Netflix 2021 film was pretty good, IMO. Great performances and well-directed.

I recall HBO had a similar movie or more a play of something similar back in the early 80s.

Nice that Michael Swaim has found work.

The Son of The Voice speaks.

Chicago 7 was not one of Terry Kath's best records.

Davis statement was dope

Abbie Hoffman for president lmao that guy was a legend

Sasha Baron Cohen was involved in this?😅

0:16 That was exactly 30 years (to the day) of when I graduated high school.

Cool 😎

Where is the real narrator ??

1:39 There really needs to be more street theater. Actors don't even need any props or other resources to perform when they are in a financial pinch.

4:04 On the tv series Community, they often have things like riots and riot gear.

9:57 John Carroll Lynch is fantastic as Rick Legarski in the tv series Big Sky (2020-2022).

Was the movie good? Should I bother watching it?

I was looking forward to this story until I realized it was the other guy narrating. Guess I'll wait here until jenniferlonnes makes some smart alec remark about it.

Aladeen in the thumbnail

6:34 "A stink bomb that could be launched with arrows was invented by Leonardo da Vinci." (wikipedia).

4:25 Conrad Hilton is the businessman who founded the Hilton Hotels. Paris Hilton is his great-granddaughter.

This is why when younger people call me “A Boomer” in a derogatory way, I get seriously confused. This was my world and my generation. I met Abbie Hoffman because I grew up on the South Side of Chicago. I knew Jessie Jackson when he was working on Operation Push. Younger people need to stop classifying all Boomers as backward MAGA jerks. So many of us created monumental changes against an incredibly conservative and patriarchal society and we did it with women’s rights, minority rights and the environmental protections we have today. Women weren’t even allowed to hold higher positions in the corporate world until the 1980’s. That was very recent.

"me-lee" It always sounds weird to me when it's not pronounced "may-lay". @~4:30

Is this Michael Swaim narrating?!?!?!?!?

6:20 That reminds me of the band Sex Bob-omb in the film Scott Pilgrim vs. the World (2010).

I am sorry. These guys were not patriotic or heroic. They were all troublemakers just trying to get attention and notoriety. One thing that these people made possible was the fall of the Republic of Vietnam and the rise of the Pathet Lao and Khmer Rouge and made North Vietnam the powerhouse of SE Asia. People like the Chicago 7 made the genocide in Cambodia possible. People like the Chicago 7 made the refugee crisis of the Boat People and the ones in Thai refugee camps possible by removing the only counterbalance to the communist. I am sorry I remember this time, none of these people were heroes. They were all self centered individuals. They did not care about the plight of the people facing the over of their country by communists being funded by the Russians and Chinese.

Man, this guy is so boring. Couldn’t even finish the video.

Nope.....not without the original presenter. He makes the channel.

Which one is Lebowski?

Solomon Northup.

4:02 I saw Linkin Park in concert in 2001 in Lincoln (Nebraska).

How about Syria and Milosevic or Srdja Popovic and Otpor

Whooooo tfff is that guy

where did you buy your camera?

Why do you keep giving all the good topics and interesting videos to this narrator?

What the hell

Borat Noooooo!!

Always good to hear Swaim

Apples are “mee-lee”. Fighting is “may-lay”.

Funny thing that this was wrong but it was ok for Jan 6th.....

New narrator is improving, good job man

Holy shit.......is this Michael Swaim!?!

The Democrat convention in Chicago, 1968, was mostly peaceful.

Oof this narrator makes this channel boring!

Is that borat?

Funny that these protesters in ‘69 sounds like today’s main stream democrats

This was the wrong voice talent to tell this story. You should have saved it for Tom.

New guy is getting better and sounding a bit more comfortable. I do miss the snark of the previous narrator though.

Og narrator please

Wait... people can be prosecuted for crossing state lines to participate in a riot? Meanwhile 3 years ago, in Wisconsin, a 17-year-old kid from Illinois killed a person and maimed another during a riot and got off because his gun was 2 inches too short? Where was this law when he was on trial?

Hello there folks, and welcome back to yet another episode of, "if its not broke you aren't trying hard enough!"

Ooo I like the Yippees!! Sounds like the BETTER life I grew up with. We need to get back to some of that...FOR THE PEOPLE ✊

Surrrrrrre do miss the old narrator....

Please not another narrator. I subbed for him, not only the content

Dang it… 😢… second.

And the VC was loving this.

Knock it off with these bad narrators

Will someone please pay my mortgage?

Assuming this is AI due to the pronunciation of “melee.” Kinda disappointing man. I’ll record the voice over for like 20 dollars.

Wrong narrator voice....

GD it. Every single time it’s something I’m super interested in, it’s this same lame dude narrating 😢

I lost the plot and had to roll it back, because this guy is (sorry) such a bad narrator. "Mealie"? What's a "mealie"? Is that anything like a melee?

Pinnn

I like the other narrator better

Melee is pronounced 'may-lay' btw :)

This isn't the same guy. Can someone clue me in please?

BASED ON A TRUE STORY: best youtube channel ever uses different narrator and ruins videos

Eating ANOTHER Weird History meal! Eating FROOT LOOPS*† Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory cereal...while watching this Weird History video! * From the Weird History videos "Facts About Mel Blanc, The Voice Behind Looney Tunes," and "Why Was the 80s the Golden Age for Sugary Cereals?." † Also on a lot of the film Secret Admirer (1985), with Lori Loughlin

Why are you trying to justify these terrorists actions?

Yes, this channel has different narrators. It's really not something to spastically rage over. A lot of you really need to calm down and grow up.

Let everyone know how weak you are by saying you're done watching this channel because of the narrator.

Oh it's you. Never mind

Wrong voice I’m off c ya

Only a soy narrator would say lincoln park is a metal band😂
