On third world Detroit
« on: July 08, 2013, 01:15:59 AM »
In the old core we had this ongoing thread about how bad Detroit is.  Here's a video of a woman waiting for the police to show up after her house was broken into.

haha :-)

It just drove me a little mad as the guy I stayed with prior to the hurricane and election was a mad Fox News fan. All I can remember is Benghazi news and other relentless repetition of election stuff.  Some of them were fit, others just got on my wick.

Yeah, they all have a slant of some type. For the least biased reporting we watch bbc news. ;-)

RC - if this forum had a +1 button, I'd use it on that one.

Caution, time warp.

When you read, it's hard to keep in mind that this is within a city. It sounds more like the coal fields of Appalachia in the 60s.

This is a 3 part series:

And I think sort of worth watching. Part 1 and 2 are sort of inspiring and the 3rd part will punch you gut.

Part of me wants to open a satellite office there.
