        Hey, I have a little grey in my beard!

        As someone who was only just alive in 1985 though, I’m curious where you were in the US in 1985 and if you remember how big or widespread the news coverage was on the MOVE bombing?

          I was in H.S. in 85… I don’t remember anything labeled MOVE bombing. Back then it was still big 3 networks for me, I had no cable. Everything was appointment TV including the news.

            Thanks! Thats vaguely what I remember from the gulf war timeframe. I think we got cable a couple years after that.

      You didn’t need to be alive when the MOVE bombing happened in order to know about it.

      We used to actually learn about shit like this sometimes in public schools…

        That’s true, and I did already know about it.

        However, being 1 year old at the time it happened I wasn’t in a position to speak up about it or to “allow” it to happen unchallenged.
