The standoff in Philadelphia ended with zero fatalities. That wasn’t the case in 1985.

I remember Rizzo used to get in confrontations with MOVE or the Africas or whatever they were called, the bombing was just the last chapter, there were prior episodes.

I had no TV set at the time. Watched the MOVE thing with a black neighbor good friend, whose name was Green. Good enough for me. I followed him as the neighborhood association'ds presidrnt. There is a way to be good, responsible neighbors. The MOVE gang certainly was not. The descriptions of the state of their residence would make one gag. They were just filthy.

This incident was about 25 miles away. Could have happened here in this city.

Yep, you are right.
