Has Birmingham ever not been bad? Before it was like a smaller Memphis you had the cacs bombing churches and terrorizing the streets
The physical layout of the city doesn’t help; way too many alleys, streets that lead nowhere, it was built more as a conglomeration of company towns and neighborhoods than an actual urban master plan. That doesn’t correlate to this shooting, but it does affect the other homicides (I think they are at 118 for the year). There are still a lot of neighborhoods that are divided and basically no-fly zones.
Yeah this was an organized hit. While I'm for gun control, shyt like this skews the numbers
Organized as in they had guns and bullets, but if this shyt was organized, the intended target would have been the only one targeted and the killers would not be facing capital murder charges. They are going to execute the ones who pulled the triggers.
Skews what numbers? This is a perfect example of why gun reform is needed. Down here in Alabama we have an open carry law with no permits needed. All of the four major metro areas in the state have seen a rise in homicides and violent crimes, and meanwhile, Alabama is building a billion dollar prison facility that will house them and get profit off of keeping them incarcerated. That’s the only thing really organized about this unfortunate situation
