[Ppnews] MOVE: May 13th Bombing

[Political Prisoner News]

STATEMENT FROM THE MOVE ORGANIZATION

ONA MOVE AND LONG LIVE JOHN AFRICA!  May 13, 2006 
marks twenty-one years since the official bombing 
and premeditated murder of innocent MOVE men, 
women, babies and animals.  We of MOVE will never 
allow people (official or unofficial) to forget 
the horrendous example of this rotten vicious 
system.  An official massacre occurred that day 
yet nobody was arrested or prosecuted except 
Ramona Africa, the only adult to survive the 
massacre.  If any unofficial person did one 
quarter of what officials did on May 12th and 
13th of 1985, they would be arrested prosecuted 
and probably executed.  Stanley Tookie Williams 
was executed for the accusation of killing four 
people that nobody saw him kill.  Everybody saw 
and knows who murdered our family but none of 
those who are responsible were ever even 
arrested.  Mumia Abu Jamal sits on death row for 
the accusation of the murder of one person but 
officials murdered nine people and numerous 
animals yet they’re not sitting on death 
row.  Our family, The MOVE 9, have been in prison 
almost twenty-nine years now on thirty to one 
hundred year sentences for a murder that 
everybody, including officials, know they did not 
commit but these same officials murdered the 
babies of some of these same MOVE people yet none 
of these officials are sitting in prison beside 
MOVE people for murder.  What makes this 
government hallucinate that it can demand that 
people respect it while demonstrating this kind 
of vicious example on people.  We want people to 
understand clearly that when you take a stand 
against an injustice being done to anybody you 
are really taking a stand to protect yourself and 
your family by working to stop 
injustice.  Nothing is going to improve for us, 
the people, unless we work for it.  We cannot 
demand respect from anybody unless we respect 
ourselves first, respect ourselves enough that we 
will not allow ourselves to de 
disrespected.  Nothing should be more important 
to us than our freedom, our security, our health 
and happiness.  We cannot afford to be apathetic, our very lives are at stake.
