What are your thoughts on this?

The philly police department in 1985 decided that the best way to handle a group of radicals located in a house after numerous shootouts was a bomb. The surrounding houses were evacuated, a helicopter flew over the house, and dropped a bomb. The fire department stood down for 90 mins before starting to extinguish the flames. In all, 62 house burned down and six adults dead, and five childern dead.



Just what the fuck were these guys thinking? Drop a fucking bomb on a neighborhood house? How can anyone justifie this?

    Ok that's really bad. You know what? That's like saying if you step out of line, they are going to bring you your very own personal version of Iraq war, and hang it over you.

    Holy crap get these retards out of office...

    What kills me is that no one in the police department was fined, fired, or even suspended.

    -Let's just say i was testing the bounds of reality. I was curious to see what would happen. Thats all it was:just curiosity.

    Sorry, my mistake. That's still 40 mins too long.

    I saw a documentary on this a while back ... Pretty crazy shit. The cops don't usually bomb the bad guys.
