Actually, they were constipated from the pharmaceuticals they were taking and weren't getting any quality "affection". I believe it was S. Freud who said that unrelieved frustration turns to hostility.

I was home on special leave from Viet Nam to my home in Chicago during the '68 DemoKrat Konvention and watched in on TV at some friends' house while testing a hookah with a bowl the size of a shot glass, but didn't inhale. They thought it was exciting and wanted to go down and check it out in person. I couldn't believe what my home town had turned into and preferred Viet Nam where I felt safer, had a gun and all my friends had guns and more.

The leaders of that particular CF were:

Abby Hoffman, Jerry Rubin, Bill Ayers (Obama's ghost writer and, I believe his wife, Bernardine Dohrn).
