Burn Detroit down

Report: Nearly Half Of Detroiters Can’t Read « CBS Detroit

Decades of progressivism at its best.

Obviously we are not spending enough money to help the disadvantaged there...

I guess a major Democrat-controlled city has to have a huge footprint to be viable over any length of time. The only way Chicago, New York and Los Angeles can survive at all, as far as I can see, is because they have the rest of the state they occupy to pillage for resources. Otherwise, they'd be in the same shape as Michigan and Detroit.

True.

There are some that are not yet decimated.

Was sent this link in an email a week or so ago, quite a contrast, and quite true.
They say a picture is worth a thousand words, here's several thousand words in pictures!

You just described Detroit and it's host, Michigan.

I thought they gave up and gave the city back to the Indians

Chief Pontiac's descendents said, "No thanks".

Isn't this like Carter supporting Obama by virtue of not having to be the worst president any more?

Detroit and Dearborn are rapidly becoming no go zones.

Perhaps an open season on hoodlums would help?

How about one on statist pigs?

Best to treat the disease.

You know, this whole "open season on hoodlums/statist pigs" idea may sound good on the internet, but in reality it just doesn't work so well except for the suicidal. The moment you start "hunting," which I assume is without that guarantor of liberty called due process, you become a hoodlum/statist pig. Then you'll have to do us all a favor by making yourself your last victim.

It is really shocking that a city and a state that were run by Democrats and Unions for decades could end up like this.

Run out of purple?

Bill Maher, Spike Lee, and Jesse and Al ought to clean up this mess. A far larger human rights issue than Trayvon Martin...


Actually Detroit turned out just the way they wanted, a third-world desert dependent upon government programs. As things go, the future of all American cities?

Benton Harbor...right near Detroit. It is a total sewer. Had to go up there for work. Was supposed to be there for 2 weeks. # days in they stole my van and all the tools. I rode the bus home, quite that job and moved on. That was several years ago. Heard it is worse now. Yes, a view of things to come if the electorate in this country does not wake up. I hold little hope.

Ahhhhh Benton Harbor, Mi. is on the west side of the state and Detroit is on the east side.....

No, it was inevitable. When the Dems. and union thugs stripped all the cream from the milk all you have is skim. You can not make any butter with skim.
That stole everything, lined their pockets and left the shell.

Sorry, geographically challenged. It all seemed like one endless sewer to me.


Edit, just looked at the map, you are correct.

Good story to tell though.
