I'm speaking to anyone in the Birmingham area...brother said this this morning and I haven't heard any in the news?


Can anyone confirm this? If so...that's just bullshite. I'm so tired of this racist fricking protest from people who don't know the story. And even if they do, they only have second hand accounts of it. It's fricking Christmas. Jesus Christ this makes me furious. Outraged. Sick with anger!


I hope they get shite for Christmas.

They're blocking the entrance to the Summit on 280, then they're moving to the Galleria to stage a "die-in".

they should all be arrested. when they start blocking shite off its time to bring out the billy clubs and hand cuffs. This shouldn't be that hard to deal with. If they want to protest that is fine, get a permit and do it in a area that isn't putting themselves in danger and inconveniencing other people.

i am a non confrontational person, but if they were standing in the road blocking traffic while i was trying to get in somewhere i would have no problem hitting one of them with my car and taking my chances in court.

pretty much everyone has a shorter temper than me so i dont know how this doesnt happen more. maybe its just a pet peeve of mine, people who have nothing else to do inconveniencing people over a stupid reason

Police have already said they have a plan in place to prevent them from blocking traffic. I doubt enough people even show up. My office is near The Summit so I may go check it out.

We own a business in Cahaba Heights. Already spoke to the City Planner and Police Chief. There will be extra officers on duty Friday.


I total support a person's right to protest. I totally understand the outrage against the militarisation of America's police force. However, your right to protest ends when it starts impacting my personal income.

Go vote. Go peacefully protest at Kelly Ingram Park. Don't disrupt the two largest shopping centers in Bham on the Friday before Christmas.

These people are the most hypocritical group on the planet.

Why don't they get more upset over young black men killing young black men? Statistics prove that the most dangerous person to a young black male is another young black male.

They're having a die-in or whatever in the food court.

Also they want to block Highway 280. If you live in or near Birmingham, you know all about that road.

Also, 280 is a federal highway, so good luck with that.

Wonder how many of them will get some shopping done when the "protest" has dispersed?

Yeah, it's supposed to be in the 40s with rain on Friday afternoon. Good luck with that.

I'm sure the owners of the two malls will just let them do whatever during the busiest shopping time of the year.
