- A senior at Indiana University, Sautter was heavily involved in anti-Vietnam War demonstrations and traveled to the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, because of his involvement with Students for a Democratic Society (SDS). He drove into Chicago from South Bend, Indiana on the third day and encountered National Guard blockades. He was present in Grant Park when police tried to clear the area after a protestor burnt a United States flag. He made it to Michigan Avenue with the crowd where they met police lines and parts of the confrontation were filmed by the media.
