"Move" also had bullhorns blasting foul language and
numerous firearms mounted in a makeshift pillbox
on the roof. Nice way to treat your neighbors.

Anyone who would compare Osage Avenue to Waco needs to be educated.
The ONLY similarity was Move, like Koresh, had massive
amounts of gasoline and other liquid fuels on storage in their
respective compound's. Koresh wanted to go out in a
flame of glory. Move was just ignorant by keeping gas cans
en-masse to operate the generator they had in the back yard.

Are you are reffering to the murder of Officer James Ramp above...?

Sounds to me like you want to form a "Philadelphia Citizens Militia"
A novel idea, althouh it would never work today, unless you lived in a rural
area with a population of no more than 1000.

Ben Franklin himself once said that "..those who put their trust into
Militia
surely rest themselves upon a fractured stick" (or somewhat similar)

With all best wishes..
