“Demon guns” and now “demon gas stations?"

Blaming shooting deaths on gas stations

The Birmingham City Council this month considered revoking a Shell station's business license after Antonio Taylor, 28, was shot and killed outside of the station on June 10. The Council eventually sided with the station owner to keep them in business, but City Councilor Steven Hoyt disagreed with the decision.

Birmingham City Councilor Steven Hoyt spoke out Tuesday against a Shell gas station in Bush Hills remaining open despite rampant loitering and recent homicide….

..."If it was in Mountain Brook, they would be revoking that license," Hoyt said.

That should be an obvious clue for you Councilor, you said it yourself, the problem isn't in Mountain Brook!

Sometimes I think the only solution to bad politics is an old-fashioned IQ test.
