So please, in the future, save your bigoted comments until after there is actual evidence of wrong doing.


PS. No matter how this happened, a fire is always a devastating experience to live through, and I hope this woman and her family get all the help and support they can to get through. I'm sure someone has already started a Go Fund Me in her name at this point. She will be taken care of. Just hate to think of all the memories lost. Pictures, heirlooms, etc. Heartbreaking to think about.
No, that person is right. Outside of its few large, cosmopolitan metros and a select few smaller cities, the south is a disaster zone that drags the rest of the nation down by almost every metric. As you've illustrated, it's also still hostile to people from outside the region. I'm very happy to have so many new northern, western, and international neighbors because it dilutes the toxic southern culture. I'm one of the few native southerners I still know.

Roy Moore almost won a senate seat. It clearly hasn't changed that much since I last spent any time there.

Good to see your bigoted response out in the open. As if southern culture had anything to do with the house fire.
What a sleazy thing to say.

It's the old adage once again.. If it walks like a duck, quaks like a duck and background indicates the actual REASON for such actions Then voila!! Pointy Hood's have been shed.. and NOW they use modern mode's to get someone desperate ( which I'm sure there's tons) to do something to get their PAYDAY!!

Whistleblowers are always at risk when Powerful deviant types can preach to their CULTISH followers.. THEY will do anything and anything to fulfill their "Wet-Dream" of those OLD DAYS of Slavery and CONTROLLING ALL who CALL them out!!

This does NOT reflect well on Alabama.. Wonder IF LE and Investigative folks left there are as upstanding as Jone's was??
Because one incident somehow reflects on an entire state? What do you say about blacks when a black person commits a crime?
