Bessemer Councilwoman Dorothy Davidson, who is running for mayor of the city, claims she secured Alabama coach Nick Saban’s endorsement of her campaign three weeks ago. Davidson printed it on a color campaign flier that shows her and the coach smiling side by side on a golf course.

A remarkable photoshop job except for the fact that you can see some of Saban’s wife’s hair behind Dorothy’s and the lack of sun shine on her.

Festville endorses Dorothy Davidson for Mayor of Bessemer.

Who carries their birth certificate on them while riding their bike at 2:40am?

A man told police he was kidnapped, forced to strip, robbed, and beaten Friday in southwest Birmingham.

The 25-year-old man told police he was riding his bicycle in an alley of the 1700 block of Pearson Avenue at 2:40 a.m. Friday when a vehicle, with three men he didn’t know inside, drove up, according to a police report.

One man pointed a handgun at him. The backseat passenger got out of the vehicle and jammed a gun into his side. He was then blind folded and forced into the backseat where he was made to remove his clothes.

The man was beaten as he was taken to another location. His Alabama identification card, Social Security card, and birth certificate were taken, according to the report.

Pre-handshake device

“A traditional handshake can sometimes be just too big a step for those entrenched in their dislike of the other. No matter how important it is for two people to reconcile their differences they simply can’t get over their pride and lower themselves to the symbolism of a handshake with the other party. ”

Crack + Lazier than Lazy Eye = Poor rifle shooting

scheller — Thu, 01 Apr 2010 11:11:01 +0000

A Birmingham man angry at his girlfriend fired 15 rounds at her Monday night.

Stephen Gafford, 43, missed but some of the bullets hit too close for comfort.

Investigators recovered seven .22-caliber projectiles from the lining of the woman’s purse, said Jefferson County Sheriff’s Chief Deputy Randy Christian.

The victim, whose name wasn’t released, went to the sheriff’s Forestdale substation to report the assault. She told authorities she and her boyfriend got into an argument about him smoking crack.

He began punching her in the face, and then opened fire with a rifle. Her purse was slung over her shoulder when it was peppered with the seven shots.

She got away and went to the substation.

Gafford is charged with attempted murder and unlawful possession of drug paraphernalia. He is being held in the county jail on $26,000 bond.

“To get shot at 15 times in itself is unnerving to even think about,” Christian said. “For her purse to take seven rounds while she had it over her shoulder and none of them hit her is almost a miracle.”

Seriously Chief Deputy Randy…It was a miracle that he even hit the purse.

Former Birmingham Mayor Larry Langford will be sentenced this morning in federal court for accepting bribes during his time on the Jefferson County Commission.

This marks the end of the road for the Escalade.

A fitting tribute to what has happened. Just a short distance from the former Mayor’s home in Fairfield is a modified work sign.
