Protesters descend on Democratic convention, but aim to avoid chaos of 1968

Others speaking to the news predicted that months of planning would result in a well-managed and peaceful event — staffed with an internal security team, first aid workers and volunteer lawyers to monitor interactions with police and any outside agitators. 'It's going to be very well organized and it's going to be peaceful,' said Carlos Montes, a progressive activist since the 1960s, who came from Boyle Heights to participate in this week's actions.
