I wasn’t living in Philly then but remember watching it on the news at the time. We all felt sorry for the residents who lived in the neighborhood and especially for the young children trapped in the fire.
Yeah, what a crazy cult. Wasn’t Mumia Abu-Jamal part of it, too?
Yes, he was, which I didn't realize at the time. Officer Daniel Faulkner was murdered about three months after I moved to Philly, and I wasn't that immersed in the city's politics and radical scene at that time.
Mumia was not a member, but he associated closely with them as a “journalist” who was friendly to their cause.
