Rowhouse Bombing Labeled As Mass Suicide

100107koolaidman.jpg

You may not remember the MOVE Bombing back in 1985 — I don’t — but you’ve certainly heard of it countless times since then. On Osage Avenue in West Philly on May 13, the city decided to drop a bomb on the MOVE fortification on top of several connected rowhouses.

Eleven people died, 62 houses were destroyed and everybody moved on, except for the MOVE people, of course. Anyway, the current Guinness Book of World Records has the MOVE bombing listed on a fun ol’ list: Mass suicides!

The MOVE “mass suicide ranking” is sandwiched between Heaven’s Gate (the 39 dudes in the Nikes in 1997) and the Symbionese Liberation Army (six in 1974). Perhaps they felt 33 was too long of a gap between suicides and they had to find something in between the two.

Ramona Africa, who survived the 1985 bombing, is pissed, but said the Cult Information Centre, who compiled the info, was “arrogant and uncooperative” when she called. She did, however, set a new Guinness World Record for “most motherfuckers in a minute” during her call with the CIC. Congratulations, Ramona!

    I guess the 6 millions Jews who “committed suicide” at the hands of the Nazis will top the Guiness Book’s list.

    oh god don’t compare the MOVE bombing to the holocaust please.

    just don’t.

    Yeah, that’s a pretty big misrepresentation. Next thing you know, somebody’ll say that Pam Africa’s a great person who does lots of wonderful things.

    The Jews were lead into the gas chambers, John Africa led the Move members to the basement.

    No one who has studied any of the facts in the 1985 MOVE bombing could believe it was anything but the deliberate murder of everyone in the house. The police were firing 1,000s of rounds into the house and wouldn’t let anyone out. The police opened fire on anyone trying to leave the house. The MOVE members fled to the basement to hide from gunfire. Then the police bombed the building and let it burn to the ground.

    I’m not saying that 6 million people were killed in the MOVE bombing, but the Philadelphia police targeted MOVE for their religious beliefs and attempted to kill every active member. If it walks like genocide and talks like genocide, then what is it?

    oh, they were targeted for their religious beliefs?
