World Blog - Where does the term 'Day of Rage' come from?
The term appears to have been first used in the United States by the Weathermen, also known as the Weather Underground, a radical leftist, anti-government organization. The anti-Vietnam war organization planned several days of rage as an effort to bring the war home. Beginning on Oct. 8, 1969, a few hundred protesters ran through the well-heeled streets of Chicagos Gold Coast smashing everything from cars to fancy shop windows. After four days of protests and repeated clashes with the police, 287 people were arrested. The Weathermen organization eventually petered out after the end of the Vietnam War.
