    In 1985, what radical group was holed up in Philadelphia when their home was fired upon by more than 10,000 rounds of ammunition from the police and eventually the home, and more than 60 others, burned to the ground?

    		That was the police battle with MOVE on Osage Avenue in Philadelphia. I was in Philly that day and could see the smoke from miles away.

    This was a disaster that was largely the result of some incredibly stupid decisions by the police and the mayor.
