The Christian Movement for Life, aka, MOVE
a pro-green, vegan, anti-technology group
living in a house in West Philadelphia
BOMBED by the Philly PD, from the air, on May 13, 1985
YES, 1985!!!
the city killed 11 people (5 children), burned down 65 homes in a Black, middle-class, West Philly neighborhood, and caused $50,000,000.00 damage - all to evict the group and recover two shotguns...

Of course, if Bundy were black or Hispanic it would be all about law and order and all those guns would be pointed at him. He is the ultimate "welfare cheat."
