"Small bomb, low explosive power, well aimed (there is no dispute that it hit its target)." Yeah, right. And it hit scores of unintended targets. "IT did? I assume you are ready to prove that. On the basis of available evidence and testimony, there was something stored in that bunker that did that- -maybe not unintentionally." Remember, there were many law-abiding citizens, salt of the earth, if you will, living in that neighborhood. They were, after all, the ones who were living in fear because of the criminal activity around their homes. "And THAT'S why they asked the cops to stop Move!" "How then?" Put more uniforms and plain clothes on the streets so that they can police such problem areas, for one. "You're going to send a cop armed only with a .38 special against a BUNKER???? Why do you hate cops so much?" Ask yourself how things got so out of hand that bombing the entire neighborhood, including dozens of innocents, was the only solution the Philadelphia PD could come up with. "1. It was not the intention of the police to take out the neighborhood. It was the intention of the police to take out that bunker with a minimum loss of police and citizenry life and property. 2. How did Oakland, Berkeley, East Palo Alto, East Menlo Park, the Castro, Richmond, Hercules, Humboldt County, Las Vegas get so out of control? What? You think this problem is restricted to Philadelphia? How do you explain these? en.wikipedia.org " To date, Philadelphia is the only city in the US of A which has dropped an incendiary device on its citizens--not once but twice! "Too bad. I think it would have a salutary effect on getting the crims to move elsewhere."
