I agree with most what you said, although, Frank Rizzo seems to have more 'law & order' instilled within the city.
When I worked at State Correctional Institute at Graterford back in the 70's, MOVE guys came there. They were absolutely filthy! Whenever one of them went to chow hall at back of the block, it was like Moses parting the Red Sea with inmates getting out of his way. Every month we had to throw out everything in their cells and burn it, including clothes, sheets, blanket, mattress and pillow. Nothing could be cleaned after they had it.
I agree with you - Frank Rizzo supported the police and he was a law and order Mayor. His brother, the fire commissioner, was awful imo. Many South Philadelphians had a love affair with F. Rizzo and still do.
I can believe it (re Graterford and how dirty they were). One of the most interesting things, to me, is how those in MOVE were not only dirty, living the way they chose, etc. but also how they harassed their neighbors, threatened them, yet that’s never covered in the media or those who support them. The neighbors tolerated so much from the MOVE members yet all I keep reading is how the govt and police did such horrible things (granted, dropping a bomb on a rowhome is never a good thing or a way to handle criminals). MOVE was NOT just trying to live their lives in the most natural way, they were harassing and threatening their neighbors daily.
