Move! Part 2/6

A brief history of the Move organization in Philadelphia, and the 1978 siege on the Move home in Powelton Village, by the Philadelphia Police, that led to the shooting death of Philadelphia Police Officer James Ramp. In 1985 the Philadelphia Police, again, attacked Move in their Osage Avenue home, which led to the infamous bombing of their home by Police Chief Gregory Sambor. Eleven Move members, including women and children, died in the bombing while up to sixty private residences were left to burn, from the explosion, by the Philadelphia Fire Department. W. Wilson Goode, the city's first Black mayor, claimed responsibility for the bombing, although many believe the Philadelphia Police acted independently.

Mr Davito.....tell me...whya re you giving people that kill (who claim to be the "powers that be") the benefit of the doubt?

No body No case. I can almost believe that cops would kill babies but considering all your excuses and lack of credibility I would have to conclude that your full of shit. If people want to start a war then they will get a war. Why doesn't MOVE move to where the wars are. Whats it like to talk all the time and always be wrong?
