    I wasn’t born yet, but hearing stories from neighbors about MOVE makes them sound like a nuisance. Poorly managed composting that drew vermin into the area (and stank), preaching all hours of the day via loudspeaker… letting the whole block burn was a terrible decision, but I can understand not wanting to send officers in to assault a fortified position

      That’s just the thing, though - that’s why proportionality is important.

      MOVE needed to be evicted. Doing it by a fucking bombing was excessive. Letting the whole fucking block burn was definitely a ACAB moment.
