Matt hosted some NATO campers, and was releasing a documentary about Jesse Jackson's 1984 presidential bid during the NATO summit. Instead of having a great event paying homage to Matt's friend and hero, Rahm Emanuel forced a condemnation of Matt's home. Matt went home the evening before his documentary premier to boards on his windows, chains on his doors, and a parking ticket in his wiper.
