I lived near Philadelphia when Osage avenue went up in flames. A few buddies and I drove to the perimeter of the fire. It was surreal.

Wilson Goode absolutely deserved blame for that fiasco and - dare I say - murders. Yes, MOVE wasn't beyond reproach, and I'd be peeved if they were my neighbors. That said, dropping a bomb on a row home when there are children inside and then opening fire as the house burned is beyond reproach for a municipality. And NOBODY went to jail over it!!!

Fast forward to today. Goode is a pastor and has stated on multiple occasions his regret, and has asked for forgiveness. He strikes me as a man who (rightly) carries his fateful actions as a cross.

By contrast, then-DA Fast Eddie Rendell has never said ANYTHING close to an apology or regret or anything...and that sombich has lead a charmed life: Mayor, Governor, Head of the POS, erm, DNC.

Again, MOVE is not a choirboy outfit. They certainly facilitated this tragedy. And Goode was in charge. His actions were criminal. But Rendell is lowest in my pond scum pecking order. /rant
