“Kill ’em! Kill ’em!”

On Oct. 24, 1968 , at Manhattan’s Madison Square Garden, George Wallace told a cheering crowd of 20,000 about a protester who had laid in front of LBJ's limousine. “When November comes, the first time they lie down in front of my limousine, it’ll be the last one they ever lay down in front of.” Protesters shouted in the arena. “After November 5, you anarchists are through in this country,” he said. “You’d better have your say now.” Outside the hall, Wallace supporters and adversaries clashed with each other and with the police, while inside, officers rescued black protesters surrounded by Wallaceites who chanted: “Kill ’em! Kill ’em!”

Because I will be a target of his hate transgender. Gay poor. Disabled. Liberal. Unusual look. Smart. Mentally ill. And a fighter. If he becomes president Ill want to move to denmark but i wont have enough money to and i will worry about all my transgender and gay freinds especially the freinds of color in the city. If I go Ill want to take 1 special transgendered woman of color and her transgender boyfreind with me they are very good freinds of mine just as poor as I am. Iknow theyd be a target too.

My question is when and where did this event take place? At first I assumed it was when he met JFK, but he's several years older here. He's certainly sitting with an odd bunch of characters.

Wallace and his third wife, the former Lisa Taylor, meet with Vice President George Bush and Arkansas Gov. Bill Clinton at a lobster bake at Bush's residence at Kennebunkport, Maine, July 30, 1983. The third Mrs. Wallace, whom the governor married in 1981, was 30 years his junior and half of a country-western singing duo, Mona and Lisa, who had performed during his campaign in 1968.

I googled "george wallace and bill clinton"

Google suggested "george wallace bill clinton george bush" so I clicked that, then clicked 'Images' and went to a CBS page with the photo and caption.

If she's 30 years younger, that would make her 34 in that pic. She looks a heck of a lot older than 34. Maybe 50.

No one should ever wear frosted hair, frosted eye shadow and frosted lipstick at the same time, but it was 1983, and people did that then.

In a photo in 1983, he's not the same racist shit bag who stood in the school house door. One of his acts of atonement was to appoint a record number of African Americans to state positions in his final term as Governor of Alabama.
