“our trial will go on and on. Right to 1984. Then
Julius the Just will ask the Chairman of the Jury, or whatever
the hell they call him, what do they call ‘em foreman, Foreman
of the Jury, Marshal, Marshal Dillon, we are reading the foreman
of the jury. Foreman of the Jury, have you reached a verdict?
We have your honor, we find the eight defendants guilty as
charged. Guilty. How can you find us guilty. How do you
spell that. With a 'g' or ‘q'.
“you are going to see some heavy theatrics on that
day. Guilty, for running a pig? Stop the trial, that’ the
Slogan. There ain't no such thing as a fair trial. There are
two million seven hundred thousand laws in this country. I
ought to Know. I've been arrested ten times since the convention.
I :was arrested for everything from possession of loaded
automatics, feloneous assault on three cops in the middle of
the courthouse to not fastening my seat belt on an airplane.
Very heavy offense. ;
"A couple more weeks and the whole country is
going to be overrun with crazy stoned revolutionaries.
Yeah, Yean, I've been to a lot of colleges. I'm getting
about a grand for this. Stealing a grand. I don't think
there are too many people who are going to make revolution.
You think once you get to college you get to know chromosone
damage like brain wash, I used to go to high schools, make
tours of the high schools in Chicago. Its out of sight.
It ain't a bunch of words, its all action. As soon *'3
they find out I'm coming the Chicago School Board meets in
midnight sessions, burn the midnight oil (inaudible)
"I think we believe in free speech BUT, okay, but,
sorry, invitation has been cancelled. Oh great. I just love
that.
