The text describes the chaos surrounding the Democratic National Convention (DNC) in Chicago, which began on August 19, 2024. Prior to the convention, there were concerns among Democrats about potential violence from far-left, anti-Israel demonstrators. These fears materialized when protesters breached the security perimeter set up around the convention venue, leading to widespread distress as videos of the incident circulated on social media.

The protests involved significant coordination among over 200 different organizations, and estimates suggested that up to 100,000 protesters could gather in the city during the event. The convention is scheduled to run until August 22, culminating in a speech by President Joe Biden.
