And the media keep silence. Unbelievable. Philly is one of the most corrupt cities in the nation, so you shouldn’t be surprised by this.Why tho?According to Wikipedia, the housing was a squat for a “black liberation” group known as MOVE.Apparently there was a firefight between MOVE and PPD, and the Commissioner of the PPD decided that bombing the area would be better than letting the firefight drag onA little too far considering like 250 people were left homelessHere’s some more “Russian propaganda”that “disinformation” meant to ‘divide’ usOh my god, one of my friends was talking about this with me today. (I think he knows about this cuz he lived in Pennsylvania at that time)In all seriousness, this is pretty horrible.To be fair, a news story that old before cable news isn’t going to be as widely spread as today, an even if it got decently wide attention there’s the issue of “Does a recording of the news broadcast even exist still?”So we can have in-depth history lessons on WWII and the Holocaust, the Cuban Missile Crisis and JFK and MLK Jr’s assassinations, the Great Depression, the Civil War, the Revolutionary War and the Bill of Rights, but not armed US service members committing terrorism against its own country’s Black citizens less than 40 years ago? -- source link
