MOVE

Post by HemlockGrey »

Ever heard of them? Radical group in good old Philadelphia. Recently murdered a father because they thought he was a bad influence on his kid.

MOVE are one of those groups that needs to be wiped out to man/women. I don’t mean killed, but certainly something serious needs to be done about all of them.

Last time they were over here, the city pretty much firebombed them. What more is needed?

Apparently dropping it on people.

Why did they drop it on them anyway? That seems a little ridiculous. Especially if they wanted to arrest them.

That was to Shep, by the way.


There was a standoff between the MOVE psychos who were harboring several fugitives, and at least one murder. They killed a police officer, and apparently the department just got really pissed off.

They sound like a bunch of psychos..What do they believe, exactly, that causes them to do these things?

There will never be a resolution in the evolution vs creationism debate because neither side can conclusively prove that they are right. The creationists can't prove that they're right becuase they're not, and the evolutionists can't prove that they're right because the creationists are too damn stupid to listen.

Haphazarding a random guess without looking them up, I'd have to
say typical garden variety MARXISM.

Most Police Swat units have C-4 on hand which is used for training in small amounts, ¼ pound or less per charge. It's also kept handy for emergency demolitions. Last year the LAPD had nearly 1000 pounds stolen, though none of it ever turned up. Likely shipped across the boarder to Mexico and sold in South America.

However I don’t think it was C-4 that was used on MOVE's little roof top bunker. I've seen footage of the blast and it had too much of a fireball and blast to be all C-4. It might have been a small C-4 charge inside of gasoline though.

The 40 or so houses that t burned down where the result of the inept handling of the situation. The cops wanted to let the building burn for a while before moving in to flesh everyone out, but that ended up giving the fire to long to take hold.

All MOVE ever believed in was that women were property (and had to do a LOT of disgusting stuff), that the men had an obligation to spout curses at the neighbors w/a megaphone, and that the leader (John Africa) was God.

I'm telling you, they were/are fucked up to no end.

Let them come. After bashing the people from WCOTC, it'd be a nice change of pace to bash the far left isntead of the far right.
