As many of you know, today there is a fire raging in Philadelphia, caused by
police.  Neighbors complained about a radical group occupying a house, living
in filth, and harranging them with loudspeakers.  After tear gas and other
nasties failed, the police dropped a percussion bomb on the house, setting it
on fire.  This, alas, has also set the rest of the neighborhood on fire, and
several houses have been destroyed.  The ``news'' shows are currently unsure
of casualties.

Well, I guess the moral is:  don't complain about the neighbors.  The cure
may be worse than the disease......

is it because of the explosive charge?
