Never underestimate mankinds' ability to do mean, stupid things.

About a decade ago we had a religious group in Philadelphia called MOVE.

Now if I had lived next door to them I may have done something irrational to the idiot who constantly woke me in the middle of the night with his speeches over the loud speaker system.

I may have. But I would never have gone after their families.

There were many opportunities for the police to arrest the leaders.

The group was black. The mayor was black.

Instead of arresting the leaders the city did this.

With the mayors permission the state police dropped a satchel bomb on top of their house (police called it a compound) ( sound familiar? ), it blew the house up, and burned down a LARGE city block of homes.

All the babies, and children living there died. And almost all the adults died too.

Anthing is possible in this day and age.
