No way in hell Columbia, MD got on that list. It's like right next to Baltimore.

Nah, it’s about 20-25 minutes away. It’s very diverse, and lots of middle class black families, and black professionals.

Birmingham isn't in the top 10 on the list. They arrested that one dude and pinned like 14 murders on him and suspected of several more, and magically the crime rate went down.

Birmingham isn't on the list. They arrested that one dude and pinned like 14 murders on and magically the crime rate went way down.

[Heretic]
