Lincoln Park, from Saturday,
to Friday, August 30, 1968.
On Tuesday, August 27, 1968, at approx-
imately 9:30 p.m., ABBIE HOFFMAN was observed
gaving a Speech to 200,or 300 or possibly more,
indi uals in Lincoln Park. He said he was in
the A =o and it was difficult to judge the
size of the crowd. Most of the crowd were "hippies"
and were smoking pot.
He related the plans they were going to
ensue the following few days. He said there were
two groups, the second group being at Grant Park.
He said they were in a bad area because the lighting
was not very good, while the group at Grant Park
had good lighting.
He told the crowd they were not going
to leave the park that night at 11:00 p.m., and they
will meet the police with whatever violence is
needed.
He suggested that they wear motorcycle
or football helmets and gas masks if they have
them, He told them to get whatever weapons were
available to use to combat the police. He told the
crowd to use golf balls and drive nails and spikes
through them. He also said beer bottles are good
weapons and half bricks are better than stones
because they are sharper.
He said that to counteract mace to use
vaseline on their face. He told them to use oven
cleaner if they have any, but that is not good
because you have to get close to use that.
