MOVE was out of control. That damage award was sheer stupidity but it's not like we haven't seen stupid juries award idiotic damages before. I'm sure MOVE didn't expect the police to try to blow a hole in their fortified roof compound anymore than the police expected the idiots to store gasoline up there or fire on firefighters. I'm not a policeman, don't have any relatives that I know of in the police department, just someone who happened to be living in Philadelphia at the time. As I said before, this is more twaddle from the same morons who defend Mumia Abu-Jamal.
