Talk:Bull Connor

message: I have seen both Connor and Conner from various sources - in this article both are used, so that didn't clarify things for me at all. Googling yields more hits for "bull connor" than for "bull conner" (~86500 to ~12000) , and I've never encountered Conner as a name before, so I lean towards Connor. It would be nice if someone could figure out definitively which spelling is correct and change  all instances of the name in the article accordingly. 68.56.255.109 04:05, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Connor or Conner? 

message: "I changed the top part because ALOT of the protest marchers were not unarmed or peaceful." - quoted from edit summary by User:Greentime.
:Without checking the Nunnelly book referenced, or any of the sources I have at home on the 1963 confrontation, I can tell you that the protesters that were engaged by Connor's forces on national television were, in fact, unarmed and nonviolent. The only violence I remember being reported near the park involved a thrown brick and some hand-to-hand tussling that occurred after the fire hoses and dogs were brought into the fray. If anyone has reputable sources claiming otherwise, please speak up and change the wording of this article accordingly. I will continue reverting uncited changes. --Dystopos 16:55, 15 May 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Unarmed or peaceful 

message: According to http://www.encyclopediaofalabama.org/face/Article.jsp?id=h-1091 Bull Connor was NOT a member of the Ku Klux Klan.65.170.33.100 (talk) 20:44, 20 February 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: That article says he was apparently not a member of the Ku Klux Klan, not definitively that he wasn't. — QuicksilverT @ 16:28, 25 June 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Klan connection 

message: The issues between the two men truly on December 26 when Connor was arrested, five days after having been found in a hotel room with his 34-year-old secretary, Christina Brown, following a Christmas party.
Apart from the missing words "truly came to a head" maybe?. I do not see any connection between the anomosity between the two and the arrest. was it instigated?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by SimonW11 (talk • contribs) 22:23, 28 February 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Agreed -- the sentence is garbled, and seems unrelated to the paragraph.  And even if that sentence were deleted, the rest of the paragraph is unclear:  if Connor was arrested, what was he charged with?  what was he convicted for?  We can't just say he was "convicted" without saying what the crime was.  So I have deleted the entire paragraph, since as it stood it made no sense, and there were no sources in it. — Lawrence King (talk) 23:21, 29 October 2014 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: There was considerable repetition between sections and circular narrative. Have edited to put organization of the early 1960s period of Connor against activism, in more chronological order. It jumped back and forth too much before. Have put the events of the Freedom Riders before change in city government and Connor being voted out of office.Parkwells (talk) 18:54, 10 January 2017 (UTC)
