Who cares if they are?. It's far less offensive than the BLM movement.

It’s not gonna play like it would’ve in 2019-2020 and they sure won’t have the Biden DOJ to help push their agenda.

Black Lives Matter announces economic boycott of Homewood following killing of Jabari Peoples

Well, happy days! I’m gonna spend more time in Homewood now. It should be nice and quiet.

That city would be signing their own death warrant by caving to that overweight clown.

Guaranteed your city will burn.

It’s not true. Nobody here is taking time out of their busy schedules, risking their lives to drive through their shitty areas. Most people probably don’t know about and don’t give a shite.

BLM tried blocking 280 at the Summit years ago and that was squashed before they got the road blocked.

That was about 4 or 5 miles from Homewood.

They won’t. A few years ago some race pimp tried that in Hoover. He staged a protest in the parking lot of a Chic Filet. Protestors were harassing white people in the drive through and those walking in the restaurant.
Hoover police showed up and the ringleader with a few others were arrested. It ended promptly.

What's going on? I read the linked article but it didn't really have facts of what happened- just threats of escalation if the family didn't get to view the bodycam footage.

Homewood PD is going to release the body cam after the investigation which ends next week. Family and Benjamin Crump want it released now. This is just a shitshow.

isn’t today’s climate. People buckle due to their own self interests.

Bottom line is, regardless if the cop was in the right or wrong, they don’t care and the city will burn.

Homewood has really gone down a lot in the last 20 yrs. Aunt and Uncle lived there for many years until they passed.


Homewood has the highest per square foot cost in the state. Homewood has the number one school system in the state. Every Doctor at UAB lives in Homewood. I have lived here for 20years. Average house sells for about 800k.

No white person is driving through a black neighborhood with the windows down.

Hell they probably don’t even stop at red lights.

Activists say downtown Homewood will become the center of increased protests unless leaders show the “moral clarity and courage” to respond to demands to release footage showing the shooting of an 18-year old man by a police officer.


They did respond to the "demands." The state is performing the investigation. Homewood can't release the video.

It's a mix of MAGA country and wealthy leftists who don't want to live in Bham and face the results of their political views.
