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.
Watch the great documentary "Let the Fire Burn" to learn about the tragic day.
Here is a great half-hour show about the slaughter and an interview with Ramona Africa, the only surviving adult from @AbbyMartin
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.
