Four people were killed and at least 21 others injured when “multiple shots” erupted in a popular entertainment district of Birmingham, Alabama Saturday night as police assured they will “hunt down” those responsible.

Birmingham Police said it was responding to the scene where “multiple people were shot with possibly multiple casualties just after 11 p.m. near 20th Street and Magnolia Ave. in Five Points South, a popular nightlife section of the city.

The Five Points South area has numerous entertainment venues, restaurants and bars and often attracts large crowds on Saturday nights.

victims are the wrong color..no political traction, nothing to see here. They want crying, teen age white girls saying the word “scary” over and over.

They have a lot of competition....

National media treating it like a random terrorist mass shooting

Even though we all know exactly what it is

“It’s Brmingham Jake”

It’s turned into largely exactly what those mean people in the mid 20th century feared it would

If it’s any consolation to Birmingham which btw has beautiful leafy hilly suburbs to the south and a great hospital , my hometown of Jackson Mississippi is exponentially worse
If that’s possible

When I ponder these things I’m often torn over blame

Fatherless families

Or Anthropolgy

It is what it is

It takes a hard fairly ruthless intact culture to stave this off and we brought it on ourselves

Our ancestors did anyhow long ago

I’m out of answers besides making fatherless families less fashionable

But that’s just part of it

Maybe you should ask.

From yesterday, possibly related...

Steve Marshall meets with Talladega County law enforcement about Haitian migrants

Note that there's no discussion about any other migrants, say Venezuelan, for example...

If this had happened in 1870s Colorado then legends about the great 5 Corners shootout would have been created and movies would be made. Now it's just another Saturday night thing.

“kamelinin said if you break into her house, you gettin’ shot. Hahaha! “

No warning, or chance to surrender or flee. Just start shooting. The racist b!tch. (OK. Everybody’s racist, so why bother investigating).
