A two-month operation aimed at reducing violent crime in Birmingham and beyond led to the seizure of 140 guns and federal indictments against 71 people.
Among those indicted is a 24-year-old man who was acquitted in one murder, pleaded guilty to a reduced charge in another and now is awaiting trial in yet a third killing.
Others indicted under the operation include a man who was convicted of manslaughter as a teen and arrested last month on two Birmingham bank robberies, a sex offender who also has convictions for burglary and carrying a pistol without a license, and a man awaiting trial for the shooting of a Birmingham police officer.
The latter suspect has convictions for felony drug possession and unlawful distribution of heroin. He also has previous arrests for three counts of attempted murder and discharging a gun into an occupied building or vehicle, however those charges were dismissed.
The premise of the operation is simple: find those who are committing gun crimes throughout Birmingham, Jefferson County and the entire northern district and get them off the streets and in prison for the longest amount of time the law allows. One of the ways to do that, authorities say, is by indicting them federally for being a convicted felon in possession of a firearm or for using a firearm during a drug transaction.

Obama, Holder, and our thoroughly corrupt “Justice” Dept., citing “racist local law enforcement and racist courts,” kept animals like these on the streets.
“A two-month operation aimed at reducing violent crime in Birmingham and beyond led to the seizure of 140 guns and federal indictments against 71 people.”
Chicago bangers go down south and buy guns from guys like this. Then, the puke Chicago mayor uses this as a reason to disarm the law abiding people of illannoy. F him.
“Cant get them for murder? get them for felony gun posession”
Once de bruddas de gets got fo dat, dey’s goin squeal like stuck piggies on de biggah bruddas.
“I think that if the cops want to put these guys away, theyre going to have to find some different prosecutors and judges. Otherwise theyll probably all be out in the street again about five minutes after the verdicts.”
I can’t speak for Alabama, but the system in New Orleans is simply HOPELESS. First, the local judges equate jail time to slavery, and that’s even if you’re convicted, as the local juries aren’t any better than the judges. It’s completely broken down.
I don’t know the federal system, but my understanding is that IT DOES WORK, and these animals will very likely see some real time, and most likely hundreds, or thousands, of miles away from LaHood, so they won’t be getting many visitors.
And yes, putting these animals away will make a HUGE DIFFERENCE in the crime rates, not just by getting them off the street, but by SENDING A MESSAGE to the much greater number of people who are on the fence...tempted by a life of crime, but fearful of what that could mean - now they’ll have a lot more fear to deal with.
Only one (1) out of 13 photo show a white guy? Amazing.
The white guy lead the other yutes into a life of crime.
Were it not for the NRA member, the young upstanding black youths were headed to Sunday school choir and dreamed of being astronauts like their great great grandmothers....
LOL. If only we could get that white asshole to behave, there wouldn’t be any other crime. LOL!
Obama’s sons and daughters
What does it tell you when 13 outta 13 felons, who know they are committing a crime by carrying a weapon, carry a weapon for protection?
All I know is this, a guy walked right in the house, summer in Texas with the door open and a fan blowing, a tattooed guy walked right in the front door on my son. I’m so glad he had a weapon right by and backed his as out and off the property. Still to this day I’m glad he backed him off vs legal BS.
