It Was Chicago 8 You Fukkrs. Dellinger Dead At 88

My local Republican newspaper called him Delling in their obituary headline.
Bastards. They also said he was most famous for being in the "Chicago 7."
Fuckers. I've but just begun grieving. My condolences go out to not just
his lovely wife, but additionally every single person who ever knew him.
Dellinger was a hero. Biblical proportions. I better stop writing now.
I'm starting to sound like Clapton losing his kid to a balcony.
"You want us to be like good Germans, supporting the evils of our decade,
and then when we refused to be good Germans and came to Chicago and
demonstrated, now you want us to be like good Jews, going quietly and
politely to the concentration camps while you and this court suppress
freedom and the truth. And the fact is, I am not prepared to do that.
You want us to stay in our place like black people were supposed to
stay in their place. . . "

-- David Dellinger to Judge Julius Koffmann [sic.]

"His pacifism was very forceful. He didn't mind interjecting himself
between armed federal marshals and someone they were pushing around."

-- Tom Hayden
