Seriously need to knock off the AOC hate here

169. I was working in downtown Chicago during the trial

My husband at the time started work later than I did, so he went to the courthouse and sat in on the trial most days. Besides reading about it every day in the newspaper, I got first hand accounts from him in the evening. He even rode in the elevator with a couple of them once. It was nonstop entertainment and Judge Hoffman was every bit as bad, if not worse, than he was portrayed in the movie.

That's pretty ironic about Jerry Rubin and probably not an uncommon story about activists from that time. At least Hayden stayed true to his ideals and did participate in government.

The one problem I had with the movie was they portrayed Jerry Rubin as an airhead and I don't recall him being that dense.

I remember trying to convey to my children what it was like, but I know I didn't capture it adequately. The movie did what I couldn't though.
