Reveling in Detroit's Misery

Freepers may love to hate San Francisco and hope everyone in it dies, but they love to have contempt for Detroit. Like some thief getting electrocuted trying to steal copper wire:

rktman wants to blame the lawless Muslims:

Nobody would steal anything in detroit (middle east comes to America) now would they? Of course not.

PAR35 blames the blacks, and adds in a strawman to boot:

Can we all agree that it is racist to try to prevent the theft of the copper wire?

I take it Gay State Conservative has never seen Tulsa.

With God as my judge...I have seen cities/towns in Asia,Africa and South America that look more "civilized" than the parts of Detroit *I've* seen.

shove_it makes with the funny:

“This should be tagged “Third-World News”.

Good idea. Done.

rktman - it's Muslim!

the last time we flew through there, I thought we were in islamabad.

detective - it's Africa!

If you want a comparison for Detroit's downward trajectory Zimbabwe is the best example. Zimbabwe is a real life model of what is happening in Detroit. The only difference is that Zimbabwe does not have billions of taxpayer dollars from honest Americans every year to fund their theft and corruption. Zimbabwe also doesn't have white suburbs its residents can repeatedly rob.

kearnyirish2 It's Middle Earth!

“Detroit looks more like Lord of the Flies every day.”

More like the abandoned kingdoms in “The Lord Of The Rings”; you can see vestiges/ruins where great men once built great things, and now it is reverting to what was there before those great men came (deer, squirrels, etc.).

AEMILIUS PAULUS tries for a dramatic historical allusion and waaay overreaches.

We are in the middle of a conquest by people from the Third World. A conquest usually means those who are governing during the conquest can no longer protect those who founded and developed the nation and its wealth. Indeed, those who are in positions of authority, towards the end, often favor and assist the invaders; and those portions of the resident demographic who are assisting the invaders.

The above observations apply to the Michigan area today. For those who are watching the invaders and their helpers and wonder what is happening, their actions are called a SACK! A good summary as to what is a sack, and what will become worse, in Michigan, and elsewhere will be found in Gibbon's description as to what was happening in Italy during the period 370 to 425 A.D.

I think if you were being sacked, you'd know it. I also like his "politicians totally assist the invaders!"

Born to Conserve knows how to deal with this!

Shoot them. When the damage done exceeds by magnitudes the value wrought, it is a crime against society, and has to be stopped by any means.

Freepers insist guns are for self defense, but then can't stop talking about shooting liberals and scary blacks.
