Two shootings that left eight people injured cast a shadow over one of Alabama’s most historic civil rights commemorations this weekend, prompting Selma leaders to respond as thousands gathered for the 61st anniversary of “Bloody Sunday.”

The incidents occurred during Selma’s annual Bridge Crossing Jubilee, which draws visitors from across the country to commemorate the 1965 attack on voting rights marchers attempting to cross the Edmund Pettus Bridge.

In a statement released after the weekend’s events, Selma Mayor Johnny Moss III thanked community partners who helped host the commemoration while condemning the violence that occurred in the city.

“Jubilee weekend is one of the most important moments for our city,” Moss said. “It brings people from across the country and around the world to Selma to reflect on our history and recommit ourselves to the ongoing pursuit of justice, unity, and progress.”

According to local reports, eight people were shot in two separate incidents during Jubilee weekend.

The first shooting occurred Friday evening on Alabama Avenue, an area where people often gather during large events. Several individuals were reportedly shooting at each other, and six people were transported to the hospital following the incident. Authorities said the shooting did not occur during official Jubilee festivities.

The second shooting happened Saturday evening near Water Avenue, a few blocks from the main vendor area. Two 18-year-olds were injured in that incident, and investigators said a suspect had been identified and an arrest could occur soon."

If only the Democrats gave a shit, but they don't.

Police said both incidents were targeted shootings rather than random acts of violence, according to the station.

Who wants to bet against this being black-on-black violence?

 

[IM2]

They have had the event for 50 years, but now we see some white racist scumbag trying to make something out f this one time. The first time they crossed that bridge, people got killed. So this is another white racist BS thread.

You Republicans commit an insurrection, and you have tried lying about how it didn't happen for 5 years, so STFU.

When are you guys going to talk about white-on-white violence? Like the white-on-white violence that killed Charlie Kirk?

 

[M14 Shooter]

When are you guys,,,,

^^^^
Stupid, but not stupid enough to bet against this being black-on-black violence.

 

[1srelluc]

I read of that on ARF this morning and all I could think of was "mah culture" strikes again.

^^^^
Stupid, but not stupid enough to bet against this being black-on-black violence.

And on the same day, there were far more acts of white on white violence.

61 years and this is the only thing a city of 17,000 people have going for it. Pathetic.

Cultural rot

How dare you make such a comment! If you want to make such a comment, then recognize the greater rot that is white culture. The true definition of white privilege is the ability to ignore your behavior and critique other cultures about incidents when your culture has exponentially more of the incidents. White privilege is when you are allowed to make excuses, then use funky math to make claims about other cultures, when all data shows that your culture has a far bigger problem, even though they have everything needed to have little to no crime. Cultural rot is when whites post an article about an incident that happened during an event with black people while ignoring thousands of violent incidents on that same day by members of their own culture. White privilege is when a white person shoots another white person on a college campus, and instead of talking about white-on-white violence, they sidestep that to try to blame a political party. All of these things are part of the culture that has created the national rot in this country..... White culture.

And you contribute to that rot. You are part of the problem in this country.

Do blacks commit violent acts against other blacks? Geeeeeeeeeeeeee, you'd never know that based on reports from the MSM.

if you listen to the MSM, its only a crime if white male commits it.

Yeah, if a white law enforcement officers kills an unarmed black, illegal, or minority unarmed "peaceful protester" that person is run through the ringer. If a black Capital Police law enforcement officer kills a white unarmed "peaceful protester" he isn't run through the ringer and is vigorously defended by the left and is referred to as a hero.

Further support for the proposition that liberals, leftists, and Democrats are perfectly comfortable with violence - so long as the right people get hurt.

There was no insurrection.
You're lying.
It was a protest that turned into a brief riot.
It's the greatest lie ever created in American history that it was an "insurrection".

I have seen a few different polls over the years polling about if violence is acceptable against the other side and the highest poll total always goes to the left.
