35 years ago today, 500 cops sieged the home of the back-to-nature group MOVE in Philadelphia. They used fire hoses, gas, 10,000 bullets, and finally dropped a bomb that started a fire. The police let the fire burn, killing 11 people, including 5 children.
Never forget.
Never forget.
Watch the great documentary "Let the Fire Burn" to learn about the tragic day. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j6Rb5cyQbJA&feature=youtu.be">https://www.youtube.com/watch... https://www.youtube.com/watch...
Here is a great half-hour show about the slaughter and an interview with Ramona Africa, the only surviving adult from @AbbyMartin https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N-fQdGyPlSU">https://www.youtube.com/watch...
Too few people even know about the MOVE bombing, I credit my knowledge of it to the hardcore anarchist punk bands I listened to growing up. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mjuA03FlXiU">https://www.youtube.com/watch...
