Why the hell would people in Birmingham go to Huntsville to protest? Birmingham has a storied history in protests, and a huge population. There have been protests here around town all week.It makes literally no sense.

It’s literally against the law to bus in right?


I’m not sure abiding by the law is very high on these retards’ to-do list. And even if it is against the law, it appears that most of that shite is being waived for a while by governmental leaders. Law enforcement and national guard personnel have been neutered by local politicians.

North Alabama might not be the best place for these protesters to start wrecking shite

Most people in Birmingham are only vaguely aware that Huntsville exists.

it's already on its side in the Davidson center.

Just walked by several businesses boarded up with BLM signs downtown, barricades surrounding the courthouse, and all cars removed from the square.

Looks like most businesses are closing down early as well.

Appears to be a bit of an overreaction, but who knows? It doesn't take much for shite to turn the wrong way.

Could have fooled me considering all the bitching and moaning coming from Birmingham city "leaders" every time the Huntsville area lands another huge economic deal.

Yeah it’s hard to fault any people or businesses for worrying about their safety.

Besides having a few more restaurants Huntsville is so far ahead of Birmingham is not really close. Bham is like 3rd world in comparison.

I believe it is the only authentic Saturn V on site.

I don't think that one is real.

Just as nightfall came, HPD, State Police and Sheriff's used gas and rubber bullets to disperse the protesters who refused to leave. From what I could tell, the protest never turned violent, but it was clear leaders had made the decision to not allow it to linger into the night.
