Attack on Black liberation group MOVE: The day Philadelphia bombed its own citizens • FRANCE 24

The Black liberation group MOVE was founded in 1972 in the US city of Philadelphia. It combined a wide array of ideologies, including environmentalism, animal rights and an end to capitalism. The group's activities were closely watched by law enforcement, at times leading to armed confrontation. Tensions peaked on May 13, 1985, when the Philadelphia police bombed the MOVE house, killing 11 Black people. Despite two grand jury investigations and a civil suit, no one was ever criminally charged for the bombing. More than 35 years later, FRANCE 24's correspondents returned to Philadelphia to revisit the day the city bombed its own citizens.

People were being shot, yet no cops or fireman suffers gunshot injuries in 1985

@nalasmith4281 Жыл бұрын

The only people who were shot were move members. 5children were shot and murdered after they were trying to escape the burning house. They took the body of the 14 and 13 old girls and we're parading and taking pictures with their remains last year.

Epilogue: The houses that were rebuilt were constructed so poorly they had to be rebuilt again. The house that the bomb was dropped on, has been occupied 24 hours a day by the police department for the purpose of preventing move members from coming back. In 2021 it was revealed that the remains of the children who were killed were given to the University of Pennsylvania and Princeton University for classroom teaching and research without the consent or knowledge of the family. Today the city which still pays about ten million dollars a year to settle police abuse lawsuits now forbids police from pulling over any vehicle for minor violations. The mere fact that they knew six children were in the house at the time should have been enough to stop them from dropping the bomb on the house.

Why are they considered criminals because they didn’t agree with the American government’s policies on the treatment of Blacks ? They didn’t break any laws? So why label them as criminals? The people who broke into the US Capital on January 6 are the REAL criminals.

No, it was a brave statement by the city of Philly (with a black mayor at the time) to fight back against the radical lunacy of violent criminal gangs like "Move." They were hated by their neighbors, and it's only the SJW Woke media and similar commie stooges who lament the demise of toxic fiends like "John Africa' and "Mumia Abu Jamal."

The police and city were wrong. Absolutely. The move house was abusing the kids with malnutrition having to eat raw chicken. And using speakers that were big. Really big. Yelling, cursing, and doing it through the night and day time. Being truly anti social to the neighborhood. The people of Move were doing the wrong things in intentions and actions. People having to go to work suffering from lack of sleep, and stress of it continuing. This tragedy could have been prevented. And the fact the water was turned off when it was needed was part of the revenge. . It would have been far smarter to cut off the electricity stopping the speakers from being able to be used. And using intelligence with compassion would have stopped this from happening. The involved cops were the criminals that were far worse. They were murderers, and evil at heart. The city did the worse though. They used backed power to kill the members of this group and to bomb a house was criminal beyond words. And heart breaking beyond imagination. The involved power that was and cops should have joined any one else sent to prison with far longer time in prison.
