I used to drive near there a lot. West side of Birmingham. Originally it was working class.
Over the years the area got worse and worse.
Now I avoid that area. It’s really depressing.

Ensley? Good possibility it is gang or drug related…

That area was always a no go for me. I was in school in Birmingham in the late 70s.

Somebody trying to get “things” kicked off?
So many factions looking for conflict.
The deep state wants some conservatives to get jiggy so they can bring the boot down.
Dark times .... maybe just “alabama man”
out for some hold my beer games.....

What’s frustrating is they will count this in their total of red state mass shootings even though it’s in a blue area. The stats only are collected at the state level.

Every time I think the old Ensley brickyard (what we used to call that area) has turned around for the good they show that they’re still in their old ways.

Some people happen to see a car that was stolen from them. So followed them. Then the shootout started.

I read the story so no one else will have to. It has to do with a stolen car. The victim happened to see his car, so followed it, and then a shootout started.

Back in the day Ensley was known as Little Italy. There was a large Italian community there. By the 1970’s people were moving out in mass. Housing was cheap. The cheap houses surrounded a huge housing project. Now the community is over 90% black. They have torn down part of the housing project and built some sort of section 8 HUD housing. It has a higher then average crime rate which skews the overall average of the city of Birmingham.

Also, know that none of the really cool FReepers use search before posting.
