- WHO IS LOOKINGif you know b,ham Rich A.HAS SOMETHIG TO DO WITH ALL OF THIS, HE DID LARRY , C.S---M.A.KEEP LOOKING YOU WILL SEE IF WE,THEY SIOP HE WILL BE BACK. DO YOUR HOME WORK!
- Larry LangfordAlthough, I like Larry Langford, he is no different than you or I, lets be careful not to make a God of anyone. He have to abide by the same system put in place the Law for you and me. Unfortunately, I have no need for a 24000 dollar watch. I hope he learned something. and it was worth what he has to face. God Bless His Family
- Mr. LangfordLarry really cares about Birmingham, he has been more for improvements for birmingham than all the mayor's we had put together. He gave to people visual progress. He believed in getting things done, not say we don't have the funds little most the city council. If Birmingham did not want him as mayor then he would not have been elected by the people even though the citizens were aware the allegations against him about his county deals. A certain radio personality claim he does not have anything personally against him, it sounds like you do even though you say you are stating facts.
- Station Could Have At least Edited Some Of My Wording If Was Too Political !This Station Could Have At least Edited Some Of My Wording If Was Too Political. As I mention you just lost one less listner. Thanks Again !
- Why is it that Larry was treated this way when Scrushy is still lying and not answering questions? The supposed justice system is so full of crock, but we all have to release this to GOD. He has the ultimate say and he is the judge and jury of all.
- BriberyWhere is the charge for giving Blount Jefferson County accounts in exchange for money, clothes, and jewelry? Couldn't prove that, could they?
- Keep Your Head Up Larry Langford Pt 3Pt3
You have blacks against blacks and whites against blacks what concerns me. Everybody know Alabama is ran by republicans in which the system is set up to destroy as many blacks as they can using certain law in which a lot of the laws or out-dated. So many of our blacks cant vote when its time because of record issues is why we lose a lot of state elections because of that and us killing each other at a mass pace. Many blacks dont know its hidden laws here in Alabama when they can register to vote again even with something bad on their record. Many black dont know about record expunge law where many first time felons depending on the type of crime can have their record cleared in court or sealing a record to better their live and have their rights back but only allowed to people with fist time felonies and prove good behavior over time in which these laws are allowed only once for a person in their life time in which is fair to good citizens whom maybe made a bad judgment in their lives at one point. Lastly remember only God can work miracles and its no power that can stop the Lord when right is right. As I mention early in this comment, check out the comments on some of these top web sites that are totally outrageous. Also check out www.youtube.com and look at the Larry Langford video clips one in particular which total disrespect called looking for Larry Langford where someone rode around Birmingham looking for this man house and found it posting all of his personal information to the world showing where he live and address listed to everyone basically stalking this man. Look at how the media posted Larry Langford credit information and scores to general public, total disrespect. Larry Paul Langford please keep your head up and stay positive because God can turn all this federal corrupting all around on them whom staged this whole thing from the start.. - Keep Your Head Up Larry Langford Pt 2Pt.2
There are a lot of top whites whom are behind Larry Langford also whom the media tries to hide. Bottom line is that the jury already had their minds made up and instructed by the federal in high conviction regarding Larry Langford as an example is why the decision was made so quickly on all 60 counts and some of the counts were the same counts but worded different to make it sound good, Larry an honest man whom tries to help everyone in all forms whom tried to bring Birmingham up to future by the things he was in process. Everybody, I advise you to read the comments on www.al.com and www.twitter.com and others sites and you would really see how a lot of whites view us in many ways from the insults they have make etc. Let's do something people by starting a fund for Larry Langford and by us making and using all resources possible to make a change here in Alabama and stop the corrupt justice system because the same thing can happen to you or someone that you love and they're laughing about it, another victory for them. Read the Bible and they done Jesus the same way by crucifying him, bad talk, and laughing about everything that they done but Jesus rose again at the end. Again, People of Birmingham and other cities in Alabama "Lets Do Something" for fair justice to our kind because it's very sad and still going down in this time of life regarding us blacks. Another message to our blacks whom are killing each other on a regular, Please stop because they are laughing at us like we are wild animals killing each other. We are against the odds in many ways by divide and conquer means. - Keep Your Head Up Larry Langford Pt 1Please Announce This Comment On The Radio !
Pt.1
First look @ how the jury was set-up 9 whites,3 blacks regarding Larry Paul Langford case. The bad and insulting media coverage from news papers, radio, and TV regarding the outrageous poisoning of the media coverage before and after the verdict. The amount of time this man is facing (805 years) verses his so-called white friend sentences given whom testified against him whom received (less than 10 years or lesser)whom were involved also. "Only In Alabama". It's time and been time for us blacks to stand up and do something about this type of actions against our race and people and I'm not speaking on just marching and saying good things with no actions. Most whites think in these times compared to past history marching, chanting, etc is funny now to them because they think that's all we can do going back into history. The corrupt justice system here in the south is so unfair to blacks by convicting many innocent blacks by trying to prove a point to other races and satisfying themselves. Look also at the Corey Miller C-murder- Master P' brother case where he was just re-charged & convicted again on the same charges he dealt with and won before to currently life in prison in August 2009 in which he was found not guilty in 2007 of the same charges based on very poor evidence by the feds and witnesses. My opinion is that they are trying to destroy all black leaders whom have power including Obama whom they fear that get things done that they say and mention. Look at all of the other Birmingham leaders like Chris Mc Nair, EB Mc Clain, and other city leaders whom have been destroyed by the system here. I am very hurt about how Larry was done with very little to none strong evidence involving him and this federal case falsely put-together by the federal justice system in which was instructed by the federal to the public and jury. There needs to be a top federal reinvestigation conducted by the white house involving this conviction and also a local and state wide fund set-up to help Larry Langford in these hard times involving this unfair case and poorly proven evidence provided to lead this man to this outrageous time given by the justice system. I'm not a racist or anything but you can't help but see it here often and other places involving unfairness to black in which most whites try to disguise but really behind a lot of this, from the governor, judges, to some local police. When is this going to stop? - LangfordGet up off Larry Langford,what have you done lately for the city.My prayers are with him and his family.When you work for God the devil gets mad.
- Larry LangfordMy prayers go out to Larry and his family he has done tremendous things for the City of Birmingham. If he keeps trusting and beleiving in the power of Jesus Christ he will be alright because as we all know GOD HAS THE LAST SAY SO!
- Larry LangfordWell, it makes me feel so sad that it took less than two hours to find this man guilty. It took them several months to convict others for "billions". The system should be fair. Don't punish him for his boldness or honest attitude. Langford's personality should have had no part in this verdict. This is a sad day for our history. I feel violated for Langford. Many prayers to you Langford & Family!
- verdict of guiltyI must say how can you find a man guilty after 8dys of testimony then only take 2hrs to render your verdict-My prayers are with Larry Lanford and his family-Stay strong keep the faith this is only a test- My God continue to be with you is my prayer
- RE: CommentAlthough he did wrong, he still tried to help Alabama, by trying to get Alabama out of Debt. Everybody makes mistakes, and I dont want him to leave. Everybody fail to realize, what makes Carol S. better. I think that we, as the citizens, should vote again. All my Prayers, to the Langford Family.
- Larry LangfordEverybody is doing exactly the same thing but because Mr. Langford is so outspoken, those against him wanted to bring him down, shame of them.
- Jefferson County is failing the people, Mr. Langford was a pawn in this already diverse city that doesn't want progress. The city council fight among themselves, also fought against Mr. Langford. now we are in a city without a leader, what will happen next? My prayers go out to The Langford family. the strong will survive.
- larry langfordThe battle has just began and Larry Langford has not done nothing wrong and the truth will come out "No weapon formed against me shall not prosper". And to channel 13 news tell the truth and don't get mad because he called you out the truth hurts.Mike needs to report the news and not his personal opinion and get real hair not fake hair.
- Larry LangfordMayor Larry Langford will be alright,just ask Daniel was in the lion den.Just like David and the Gaint Gothia.
- Larry LangfordI feel sorry for the citizens and employees of Jefferson County who lost their jobs, were laid off & whose sewer bills have increased. That is who gets my sympathy. Larry has been able to pay his bills -- not the folks who were laid off from the county.
- crazy LarryThe crook finally got his day in court.
He got HIS' for our LARGE SWEER BILLS - Larry LangfordThe prosecutors think that they are serving justice, but the Good people will prevail and he who laughs last will laugh the longest. Praying for your family.
- Larry LangfordI think Mayor Langford has done a lot for the City of Birmingham and Fairfield. And that he should be found NOT GUILTY. Everybody have financial problems because people are never paid for what they are worth. But if the record show he was not brided into doing anything, that these people choose to do what they did because of friendship and he have any record of paying theses debts back, he should be found not guilty. I will be praying for you and your family. You are a good man and I know that in your heart you believed you were making this city a better place to live in.
- Larry LangfordTo me you are one in a million. I really hope every thing works out for you and your family.I wish you the best of luck in court, and Mrs. Langford hey baby you are right stand by your man. LOL and Prayer
- prayer for langford and his familywhat mayor langford really needs now is prayer, for himself and his family.
