“The same idiot who ordered the firebombing of a whole city block in the ‘80s?”

If you are referring to the bombing of the MOVE headquarters bombing, that was a work of art. Because it was ordered by a black man, the story never got the attention it merited.

BTW, MOVE didn’t shoot any more cops after that...

Good posts.

Some of our FRiends might do well to read a little book called “Justice That Restores” by Chuck Colson - an “ex-con”, stanch conservative, and prison preacher. He changed my outlook on criminal justice by pointing me to Biblical principles.

Smart political move. It’s easier for democrat politicians in Philly to win reelection if they are called “returning citizens” instead of “ex offenders”.
