I wish this title was hyperbole.
in 1985 a small black separatist movement had a standoff with police in Philly. As opposed to negotiating, etc...they did something unheard of on US soil; they used a police helicopter to bomb the building they were in. They blocked firefighters from stopping the blaze until they were sure the compound completely burned down and as a result six adults and five kids were killed along with destroying 65 buildings completely annihilating a neigbhorhood.

At the time some of the remains of the children were given to the Forensics dept. at the Univesity of Penn to 'double check' which of the children the specific remains belonged to. They sat in a box on campus for decades (wtf?) until the technology caught up to do it properly; a few years ago they finally figured out which remains belonged to who. But as opposed to giving them a proper burial, they kind of shrugged their shoulders and well..
Where are they now, and who is responsible for them? No one seems to know.

Keep in mind these aren't like, ancient bones; if the kids lived they would have been in their 40's right now.
