ORIGINAL: kdsub Bama it was a hell hole...a concentration of criminals where even the police would not go at night. The linked article by Tom fails to mention the pipes pulled from the walls... windows broken...repairmen had to enter with police escorts or their tools were stolen... The article did mention muggers in the stairwells did it not... how many articles of the kind have ever mentioned muggers in the stairwells? They could not keep air conditioners in the windows because they were stolen as soon as they were installed. It was impossible to maintain when it was inhabited by people that did not give a crap about their community or each other. Butch I know, we have an area in Montgomery where if they get a call the cops send in at least 3 two man cars, up to as many as they can get there. The project just south of the city is just about as bad. Trenholm court, the one in Montgomery had a man beaten to death with bricks young teens, they didn't try to rob him, near as anyone could tell it was just for the fun of it. All he was doing was trying to ride his bike down the street. Race wasn't envolved, both he and his attackers were black. He was a retired partrooper about our age.
