Shots fired into state senator's home

[TexasTowelie]

Mobile Police are investigating multiple shots being fired into the home of state Sen. Vivian Figures (D).

Figures was not home at the time of the shooting — around 5 a.m. Thursday — and has not commented on the incident. APR attempted to reach her Thursday evening without success.

Mobile Police said the incident did not appear to be random, but a spokesperson told al.com that it’s unclear if it was related to politics.

Police said 23 shots were fired into the home. No one was home at the time and no injuries were reported.

1. They seem to like to target female politicians.

I think the women in power infuriate these people more than the men, and they feel more justified in putting them 'in their place.'

2. This is Vivian Figures:

If this is Alabama, something tells me that they hate her for more than just her gender identity.

3. Also...

...23 shots were fired. These were NOT warning shots.

4. Maybe I don't understand.

My point was that they hate a lot of politicians but seem to feel more entitled to go after powerful women. Perhaps there is something else about her I don't know?

5. She's Black

6. Oh. Well now I feel dense.

I looked at her pictures too and did not realize this.

7. In fairness to you...

...most people would think she is not Black from the pic posted in story. Look at her other pics, and you'll see what I am talking about.
