The D is so fucked up, I will never cross that shithole. Only time I look up Detroit is on Google Maps.
I say we turn Detroit into a massive coliseum. But instead of slaves, we put life-sentence prisoners in there, assign them to a team, and have them battle to the death for territory control. Once one team wins, it's split into 4 teams, and you go on until there's only 1 man standing. When he wins, he's released. Imagine. People would pay top buck for bets, the ad revenue would be amazing, and the taxpayers no longer have to fund the governmental teat that feeds these scums of society.

I'm surprised hobos haven't migrated their from the surround major cities to form some kind of hobo kingdom.

He's one rich guy protecting everyone else with an already competent police force. In Detroit its every poor person protecting themselves because of an insufficient police force.
So many people have such misunderstandings about Detroit. Detroit, technically speaking, is fucking enormous. The problem is, as mentioned before, there is no money flowing in the downtown and midtown areas. Also, Detroit is a very small part occupied space, and a very large part that is purely unoccupied residences and vacant lots. Crime and vigilanteism is only increasing in the areas already crime ridden, downtown is nice, down by Campus Martius, and Greektown is a lot of fun. People just need to be smart where they go. It isn't a death sentence living in Detroit. I would know, I can see the GM building from my window. I'll post a pic with the FP guy if you want. The jobs have all moved out, and people simply cannot afford to leave the city. Kids drop out of school because why get an education? Detroit Public Schools are notoriously bad, more kids drop out than receive a diploma. It is simply more profitable for a kid to work the streets at night than to attempt to find some meager, non-existent job. Detroit needs more money, people need to get jobs to get more money. Without jobs, there is no money, without money flowing, society breaks down. As for the police, I see patrol cars all over the place where I live. But I live in a nice part of town, about two blocks from Woodward and about two miles from the center of downtown. I don't go to the shady parts, but with all the cops hanging around the nice parts, I can't imagine there are too many who would care to go to the areas where they are actually needed.
[QUOTE=Itachi_Crow;34587989]"justifiable homicide" lmao[/QUOTE] what is the proper response when armed criminals break into your house apparently you don't think it's self defense so I'm a little curious what you'd do
It's. Detroit. The National Guard will be on permanent deployment within 10 years in Detroit, Mark my words Ever seen Robocop? Never has a Sci-Fi movie ever come so close to predicting the future
Most people don't know Flint actually has a higher crime percentage than Detroit. I live in Michigan, I'm in Flint at least several times a month. Half of the city is nice, full of shopping centers, restaurants, and theaters. The other half is basically a ghetto(I've only been to that half once). I stayed overnight at a church in Flint as part of a service outreach from my main church. The church in flint was a safe haven for kids without a safe home mostly. We spent our time cleaning up and such, but they would not let me take ten steps out the front door to go to the dumpster without at least 3 other people with me to be safe. I heard several gunshots that night, definitely one of the scarier nights of my life. Detroit is more of a run down place all around, but I have to say I've heard more gunshots in Flint than Detroit. I went to Detroit for a concert last July, I was scared for my life walking down the streets, felt like a target was on my head.

The local rate of self-defense killings now stands 2,200 percent above the national average. jesus [B]christ[/B]
how could they let it get like that 2,200% above the national average that's horrifiing to think about

Oh hey, my house is being ransacked by masked gunmen, let me call the police and wait 24 minutes when we could possibly be dead in that time, or we could protect ourselves.
