Move group

mercredi 8 août 2018 à 02:00

In 1978 the Move black liberation group was besieged by a gang of thugs, who eventually tried to shoot them all. One thug was killed — by another thug, since the Move members didn't shoot at all. In a perversion of justice, all the Move members there were sent to prison for life.

They can't ever have parole unless they express "remorse" for what they didn't do.

I don't know enough about the activities of Move to say whether I would support it. I have not heard the other accusations and criticisms against Move, so I cannot judge whether they committed some crime some time, or did things I would disagree with. I don't know whether there were grounds to arrest them in 1978, or in 1985. I have no opinion about those matters.

But it is clear that biggest injustice in the matter was the one done to them by the thugs.
