It is a very interesting situation. The barrio area is mostly confined to the Lorna Road area, and some area apartment complexes that line that road.
Just a few miles away you will find the community of Riverchase, in Hoover, with million dollar homes. A million buys a lot of house in Hoover. Bart Starr lives in Riverchase.
The Russet Woods community is a few mile further down the road, still in Hoover, but economically between the Lorna Road Barrios and the millionaires of Riverchase.
Most homes in Russet Woods would be described as "upper-middle" class. And all this is in Hoover, which is next to Vestavia Hills, which is next to Mountain Brook, which is next to Birmingham as the crow flies.
OK, thanks. I see the picture a little better now. It just seemed like an awfully odd place for a "Most Wanted" from Texas to be found (as in "not Mexico"). I wouldn't expect there to be a nest of them there, then.
"Russell deBusk, one of Birmingham Southern drama students who burned down the rural churches "for fun,"
In the latest issue of "Guns & Weapons for Law Enforcement" magazine, July 2006 edition, is a short comment about the people who were arrested for burning the churches.
In the column "Swat Talk" on page 63:
CHURCH BURNINGS
With the Alabama church burning case broken just before we went to print, e-mails sent by one of the suspects revealed that the true motive behind the arsons was that the members were part of a satanic cult. Ritualistic crime has been widespread and is running rmpant throughout the US, but is often overlooked or even covered up by authorities to prevent residents from knowing that so-called "Devil Worshipers " are active in their community. Animal mutilation, evidence of candle burning in parks and some gang graffiti can all be stong indicators of ritualistic crime in your area.
