A Murderless Month in Montgomery



According to an online tally of murders in the Capital City, there has not been a murder in four weeks!

     The last murder recorded was on June 20...a month ago. Hershel Simmons was shot to death on Gibbs Circle. 

The murderless four weeks in Montgomery comes as police in a Massachusetts town are asking criminals to stop comitting crimes while the heat wave continues....as CNN reports:


"It is straight up hot as soccer balls out there," the department wrote in the post, which has racked up more than 106,000 shares since Friday.

Yes, a police department really used the phrase "hot as soccer balls."
The department confirmed to CNN Saturday that the post is, indeed, legit.
The heat is criminal enough. The National Weather Service issued an excessive heat warning for parts of the eastern United States, including Braintree in eastern Massachusetts.

  1. Well, I was born in Massachusetts and grew up there and in Connecticut. I never heard the expression 'hot as soccer balls."

    However, soccer is a big sport in local schools. Also lacrosse--two sports that are nearly nonexistent in Alabama. There's also rugby, as in "Be kind to animals, kiss a rugby player."
