“But when a municipality drops a bomb on a residential home, then the police open fire on the people inside and burn down a city block, it is akin to Waco and Ruby Ridge. And just like those instance of murder by Leveithan, everyone got off Scott free.”
Bullshit. They did all they could to protect the innocent. And the police did not open fire, the revolutionaries in the row house did. And not just with a 38 snub. With full auto and from an armored pillbox. They kept up sustained fire for almost 2 hours when the police tried to silence the pillbox.
It was NOT a police attack, police did not just attack and open fire, and they did not just “bomb a residential home”.
And when the fire started they tried to get it put out and the idiots opened fire again... shooting at firemen.
MOVE was a hell of a LOT more than “not saintly” and “not beyond reproach”.
Tell us wise one. You’re the cop. How do you arrest them? Tell us exactly how.
I’m not a LEO nor do I play one on TV. I also suspect you aren’t as well. I’m not an expert in such techniques. But they exist. There are plenty of situations that get diffused, without annihilating people or property.
There is little difference between the MOVE bombing, incinerating the Branch Davidians, and the murder of Vicki Weaver. Two were all conducted under Democrat leadership while Ruby Ridge was under Bush the Elder (that makes me feel MUCH better), and across all three there was no time limit, and nobody in the assaulting Team Government entourage went to jail.
Ok, there is one big difference.
Irv spoke about such people. That afternoon on WWDB, many callers were all-in on state-sanctioned murder. The same Stalin-like mindset smiles on the death of Ashley Babbitt.
They'll hold out for a little while, trying to ignore the scream of water, gloomily looking at each other in the darkness, ruing their soggy drugs and food, cringing at the settling of the wood soaked floors, shivering with hypothermia on soaked couches knowing they'll never be able to sleep, stuttering as they openly ponder through painfully chattering teeth about how The Man won.
