I live here too, and I'm not going to go all Gomer on y'all and claim it's the best city on earth, but it isn't that bad. When you're out at a bar downtown at 2 in the morning, you're increasing the odds of putting yourself in harms way to begin with.

I think bill had his tin foil hat on when he started this thread like these two shooting events were some kind of black revolt or uprising, but now that the facts are out, it is nothing more than two unrelated events that could happen anywhere. Throw in a few extreme responses and jlcoffee, and you have the recipe for 6 pages worth of ramblings.

As was stated earlier, always carry and have situational awareness and you will be miles ahead


It does seem that they are unrelated. My intention wasn't for this to turn into a bashing of each other. I was trying to warn those that traveled or lived there. I lived in Montgomery for 23 years and I do know for sure that the city has way, way more violence and murders today than when I grew up. 50 murders last year, alone. Per capita that puts it up there with a lot of other cess pools. There is a reason why families are getting the heck out of that dump and it isn't only because the public school system is a train wreck. Btw, I wouldn't write that road rage incedent off just yet. Strange would go to great lengths to shield the community from the truth should it turn out to be something different.


There has NEVER been a cover up like come out of Montgomery a few years ago when the pastor was found dead with his hands and feet tied behind his back. Said he did it to himself. Not many people can tie their hands and feet together behind their own back. Said it was a sex thing. But I think Bright was the mayor then and totally off subject.
