When All Heck Broke Loose (Or No One Thought to Tell Sheffield?)

For those in Colbert County who may not be aware, 2018 is the City of Florence's bicentennial. Saturday afternoon/evening saw a celebratory event called Reunion at the River hosted in McFarland Park. J. Redmon seems not to have thought too much of it...

All heck broke loose at 8 last night, I first thought the North Koreans had launched a preemptive strike. Then, when I realized it was fireworks, I wondered who was celebrating, and why? Was it a delayed celebration of Alabama's latest win? Had Hillary finally been arrested?

Sadly, it was nothing of the sort. It was merely the City of Florence celebrating its bi-centennial. Unfortunately, someone forgot to inform anyone on the South side of the river.

So, while residents in Sheffield, Tuscumbia, and most of northern Colbert County prepared for the 'End Days', and Colbert 911 was swamped with inquiries, and Sheffield PD wasted valuable resources searching for the unseen culprit, Florence partied.

Now a word about Shaun Shapley. PNS tells us that the murdering piece of rapist scum has been transferred to the infirm facility in Hamilton:

Shaun Shapley

He'll be up for parole in five years, or even sooner if his demented wife has her say. Even if he's denied in 2023, he'll have another chance in 2028. What can you do to prevent this?

You may have no promise of tomorrow, but you can act now. If you don't want to write a letter, simply print out our Shoals Crime blog on Shapley, note your name and address on the sheet of paper and plainly state that you oppose his parole. This communication will always remain in his file at the Board of Pardons and Paroles.
