Sheesh. That 1985 fiasco in Philedelphia ---When the police actually dropped a bomb on the MOVE building. Set several block houses on fire , right? And let them burn. It was a precursur to Waco, only it was a local government.

I was a Catholic Worker anarchist/leftist back then and it set me off. I damn near wanted to join them, travel from Iowa to Philly. To this day, I still wish Mayor Good had gone to jail for that. Kids were killed.

But now. It's amazing to me how utterly vile the MOVE people are.

Does anyone know if the D.C. Catholic Worker people were involved in todays farce? I hope not.

Don't know about Catholic Workers, but I did see Pastors for Peace advocating the destruction of Israel and the freeing of the 'oppressed' cop-killers, Mumia and H. Rapp Brown.

Y'know, I agreee with you about Wilson Goode, the erstwhile imperial mayor of Philadelphia, except for one thing: Move in 1985 was not an entirely local op. Phila. police used state helicopters and C-4, plus logistical and comm support, for the assault. I cannot believe the State Police did not object...

Yeah, I thought the action against move was a tad extreme too, then I learned the neighbors who lost homes to the fire too were glad to have sacraficed their homes to rid themselves of MOVE.
