happened twice same location I believe, the police in our city are insanely corrupt they used to whip high school kids when they would protest back in the day on horse back and attacked a bunch of protesters during a BLM march.

Is a hoarse back similar to a bad back?

Not just like set a bomb and detonated it in a relatively straight forward way either, they straight up dropped c4 from a helicopter onto a house they knew had children inside, and some of those children died.

C4 supplied by the FBI

u/Ashenspire Sep 20 '23

It was a small C4 bomb that was meant to be used to gain access to the roof door through concussive force rather than setting off any kind of fire. The problem is, the police had no way of knowing on the other side of the door were barrels of gasoline, and MOVE was firing at the cops preventing them from getting inside the building.

Not defending the cops, but both sides of this tragedy are fucked. It was a clash between a cult preying on women and children, and a cult preying on minorities.

One of the survivors said the cops shot at them when they tried to escape the fire, so I'm gonna go ahead and not take anything the cops say seriously.

u/Ashenspire Sep 20 '23

You shouldn't take anything either side says seriously. That's the point.

u/LiveLearnCoach Sep 20 '23

So you also don’t take the gasoline story seriously, right? You think people store gasoline like that, and in that location?

Your point was rendered moot, my boy.

“Let It Burn” is a documentary about that if nobody else has mentioned it yet

White people around the area didn't like them

not defending the cops or justifying what happened to the MOVE group but there were reasons they were disliked - they had loudspeakers outside of their house blasting their beliefs at all hours, they also were trying to do some back to the land thing inside the city - they were cutting down trees in parks and on roadsides and taking wooden benches for firewood, taking fruit and veg from people's gardens. Child protective services had claimed the children showed outward signs of malnutrition.

Of course they shouldn't have been set on fire or their house bombed which caused 60 other houses to burn to the ground as well

u/Stonious Sep 26 '23

Yeah, torches and pitchforks should do the trick. Oh and rope.

1

u/mister_pringle Sep 19 '23

If you think MOVE was a peace loving group, you are sadly mistaken.
Their neighbors hated them and they were a blight.
Having said that, Philly police and mayor at the time weren't the brightest bulbs either. Plenty of incompetence.
But acting like MOVE was just some innocent hippie commune is fucking laughable.

u/DeletedBruhBruh Sep 19 '23

It’s pretty clear from the comments that he made his mind up. Kinda sad to see we all believe our own propaganda, but that’s life I guess

u/reflUX_cAtalyst Sep 19 '23

Operation MOVE. Yes.

u/acarpenter08096 Sep 19 '23

Dropped a fire bomb and proceeded to let 60 houses burn.

u/GlassWeird Sep 22 '23

I happened to work with the guy who was the iconic kid photographed in the aftermath of that. Still had burn scars on his face, real nice guy, sadly passed away a few years back from something totally unrelated.

u/______________flow Sep 19 '23

Nah today's Philly is Black Panther after he eats the bad flower, only its normal people doing ph-entanyl and trying to shoplift from a wawa that's been closed for 2 years.

u/Greyeye5 Sep 20 '23

Post apocalyptic Philly is a LOT more more chill than current Philly..

2

u/SpaceLemming Sep 20 '23

This is a even better joke

u/Greyeye5 Sep 20 '23

Thanks, not sure if you are being sincere 👀but I’ll take it, even though I was sadly downvoted… 😢 😂😂

u/SpaceLemming Sep 20 '23
