In 1981 MOVE relocated to a row house at 6221 Osage Avenue in the Cobbs Creek area of West Philadelphia. Neighbors complained to the city for years about trash around their building, confrontations with neighbors, and that MOVE members were broadcasting sometimes obscene political messages by bullhorn. The bullhorn was broken and inoperable for the three weeks prior to the police bombing of the row house.
The police obtained arrest warrants in 1985 charging four MOVE occupants with crimes including parole violations, contempt of court, illegal possession of firearms, and making terrorist threats. Mayor Wilson Goode and police commissioner Gregore J. Sambor classified MOVE as a terrorist organization. Residents of the area were evacuated from the neighborhood. They were told that they would be able to return to their homes after a twenty-four hour period.
On Monday, May 13, 1985, nearly 500 police officers, along with city manager Leo Brooks, arrived in force and attempted to clear the building and execute the arrest warrants. Water and electricity was shut off in order to force MOVE members out of the house. Commissioner Sambor read a long speech addressed to MOVE members that started with, "Attention MOVE... this is America". When the MOVE members did not respond, the police decided to forcefully remove the members from the house.
There was an armed standoff with police, who lobbed tear gas canisters at the building. The MOVE members fired at them and a gunfight with semi-automatic and automatic firearms ensued. Police went through over ten thousand rounds of ammunition before Commissioner Sambor ordered that the compound be bombed. From a Pennsylvania State Police helicopter, Philadelphia Police Department Lt. Frank Powell proceeded to drop two one-pound bombs (which the police referred to as "entry devices" ) made of FBI-supplied water gel explosive, a dynamite substitute, targeting a fortified, bunker-like cubicle on the roof of the house.
The resulting explosions ignited a fire from fuel for a gasoline-powered generator in the rooftop bunker; it spread and eventually destroyed approximately 65 nearby houses. Despite the earlier drenching of the building by firefighters, officials said they feared that MOVE would shoot at the firefighters.
We have seen this kind of stupidity before.Consider the 1968 democrat convention, where a divided democratic base fought the police and were summarily put down.
Yahweh ben Yahweh (born Hulon Mitchell Jr.; October 27, 1935 – May 7, 2007) was an American man who in 1979 founded and led the Nation of Yahweh, a new religious movement headquartered in Florida that had thousands of African-American devotees at its peak. Yahweh was later indicted on three counts of federal racketeering and extortion charges, to which he was found not guilty. However, he was convicted of conspiracy to commit murder. [1]
Many of these incidents began from the normalization of violence from the left. From the attacks/property damage leading up to the presidential election,committed by the left, and now to outright attacks on political figures.
So what's a milkshake, you say? It is an excuse - an excuse by the left to commit ever escalating acts of violence.Remember, this has happened before. First it's a milkshake, but the left isn't satisfied with that for long. so then a leftist ups the ante until the police no longer have a choice but to intervene.
Recognize this man? His name is Bill Ayers, former member of the weather underground, responsible for bombings in the 60's in an attempt to overthrow the United States. He has still been seen at leftist protests and rallies, and did I mention he is a close friend of barack obama?
the left has always been quick to resort to violence.

The point is, that leftists will always attempt violence in their misguided idealism but when they take one too many swings at the hornet's nest, law enforcement will fly down like a hammer and quell the insurrection. This is the force equalizer.

Why are merican pigs so fucking dump? Just get a fucking APC there and shot 30mm cannon into the windows. If they don't die it'll suppress them to get close enough to throw grenades into the windows.
Demolishing a whole district cause some commies yelled mean things through a loudspeakers, kek.
The left is on the wrong side of the truth. As such they will have to enforce their illgotten gains by the fist.

Also, you fags could have linked their page. They weren't even commies, just some nigger version of hippie retards. >The name is not an acronym. The group lived in a communal setting in West Philadelphia, abiding by philosophies of anarcho-primitivism
