Birmingham, AL

This week we discuss the city of Birmingham, AL and the drastic increase in murders in 2022, taking a deeper look into the bloody months of July and August. While the murders aren't necessarily shocking, it's the rate at which they are occurring that is most disturbing. We also talk about just how close to home these crimes are for us personally.
