    the deaths involved in the MOVE shootout were eventually re-categorized as homicides

    Homicides? Do you mean first degree murder? Because to clear the bar you’re attempting to clear you need to prove that “The goal from the start was to kill everyone there”.

        In other words, “I can’t defend my words, so I’ll ad-hominem the person who challenged them.”

          I already did and it became obvious you were arguing in bad faith when you made an assumption about what a source said, despite not being able to actually even read it. You focused on the easiest thing to attack in the info I shared.

            No you didn’t, you never came up with any evidence to prove your point. You came up with evidence they were malicious, cruel, etc. Not that there was a plan in place to kill them all and they executed that plan. That was your original claim, and nothing you’ve said backs it up.

              Explain to me what you think the goal of dropping 2 military-grade explosives on the house was. I’m honestly confused as to why you’re so hung up on commentary that is essentially irrelevant amongst everything I shared.

                What’s a “military-grade” explosive? Why focus on that, rather than the explosive power? If the “The goal from the start was to kill everyone there” as you stated, it’s not the “grade” of the explosives that would matter, it was the quantity. They would have used thousands of pounds, to ensure that nobody survived the explosion. As far as I know the goal of dropping the 750g bombs was to destroy a “bunker” type structure, or to create an opening in the building the police could use to drop in tear gas or to enter themselves.

                I’m honestly confused as to why you’re so hung up on commentary that is essentially irrelevant amongst everything I shared.

                Because you made an absolutely extraordinary claim, and have been unable to back it up. You could have just backed down and admitted it was an exaggeration, but no, you’ve pretended it’s still true, so I’m pushing you to either admit that you exaggerated or to provide evidence to prove your ridiculous claim.
