> The black liberation group MOVE was founded in 1972 [...] members of MOVE all [...] preached [...] revolution and a return to nature.
Preach revolution and pose as a victim of police brutality ...
> when police tried to evict them from their house. A firefight erupted, killing one police officer and injuring several more on both sides.
Oh right, they were just cop killers
> MOVE members boarded up the windows, built a fortified rooftop bunker and broadcasted profanity-laced political lectures with bullhorns at all hours, drawing complaints from neighbors. Members continued to rack up violations from contempt of court to illegal possession of firearms, to the point where they were considered a terrorist organization by the mayor and police commissioner.
> Arriving with arrest warrants for four residents of the house, the police ordered them to come out peacefully. Before long, shooting began.
How exactly was that story supposed to end ?
> The Mayor's failure to call a halt to the operation on May 12, when he knew that children were in the house, was grossly negligent and clearly risked the lives of those children.
What kind of person does this kind of things with their children in the house ?
If I were to transform a house into an armed bunker I would most definitely not take my children there.
Exposing children to such violence ... How is there on earth an excuse for that ?
