Naturally, in Philadelphia the memory lingers. But isn't it interesting that the majority of the danger cries about Oregon invoke Waco and Ruby Ridge, and not the disaster involving black insurgents?
In fairness, though, Move was the property of Mayor Wilson Goode, not the Feds.
The date is wrong, though. It was 1985, not 1972. Move was founded in '72, but the bombing was later.
