Im guessing 95% of white people would help a shot person no matter their race.

At least this will start a conversation.

This area of town just had a show on A&E this past March and April where these guys flip homes in East Lake.

Just terrible. Probably Roy Johnson and Kyle Whitmire at al.com's fantasy.

I just took the time to locate this. One of the worst areas in Birmingham by far. Gate City is the project near this address and would make Mogadishu look like Paris, France.


Na. It's not nice over there by any means, it's hood, but it ain't the worst place in Bham. Gate City is for sure, but this isn't quite Gate City.

I've been to plenty of places in North and West Bham that make East Lake look like Vestavia Hills. People are actually trying to improve that area, which is demonized as "gentrification" of course.


What is absolutely insane, but I guess actually isn't that surprising, is that this happened 11 days ago and this is the first I've heard of it. There is literally 1(ONE) news article about it-the one OP posted.

Like someone said, if the races were reversed, Birmingham would be fricking burning right now

Roy Johnson was probably one of the guys to walk by.

A mile away from Gate City is pretty close.


I live 2 miles away from Gate City FWIW.

The African American population in the city of Birmingham has dropped from 73.5% to 68.3% within the past decade.

Makes you think about the insurance agent that was shot to death on Great Smokey Ave in BR, several years ago.

Baw is a real estate agent. He knows there are $40k homes on that block. If you are going, go with 5-6 people, loaded for orcs.

Just checked out his FB page. Seems like a good dude who was investing his time and money into improving houses of that area.

Yeah, you can't do this. frick people and frick the people who left the man for dead.

Is that any type of crime? If someone is in need of help and it is a potential life or death situation, if someone refuses to help that person, for whatever reason, they should be punished by the law in some way.

It's Birmingham. I remember when it was fairly safe even at night. That was 50 years ago in all fairness.

Hood rats are weak as individuals. They require a mob.

Its been proven these people will not live in any kind of society, let them take each other out.

So let me get this straight: the African American boy was walking to class when the realtor racially profiled him and shouted racial slurs before pulling his white privileged concealed handgun?
