I'm being paid enough to put up with it. I actually have a choice to change the station but up until I read that post and realised what was playing my ears were blocking out everything anyway.

Following links from the Whitney terrorist I came across a video about a guy filming cops arresting his brother. In the end there were at least eleven cop cars attending the scene to arrest the guy doing the filming.

I was born there. The only benefit I got out of it is dual citizenship which is handy. I've never had a negative experience in Detroit but it's boring as f*ck compared to Toronto.

Detroit has collapsed economically and has shrunk dramatically in population in the past few decades. I've never been there but from what I understand from friends who've lived there is that, as a result, downtown and assorted other parts of the city are pretty lifeless, but it also has a lot of rough neighborhoods farther out that are, as you say, very dangerous.

Aww ok, it must be a little sad for people that have chosen to stay there. Maybe in the next decade it will pick up.

Windsor, just on the other side of the Detroit river, is getting pretty downtrodden too from what I've heard, mostly from job losses in the auto industry in recent years. It's a smaller town, and the majority of people who live there are either students at the university or they work for Chrysler. I heard the Chrysler Assembly plant there (they make all the vans) is hiring again so that will be good for the town.

Yeah the Detroit suburbs are pretty rough. Unless you live in Bloomfield Hills, of course.

I will say that on the news, the vast majority of gun-related and crack/meth/heroin related crime is linked to John Doe, originally from Detroit. I would like to think that Detroit has improved and just pushed said drug lord out, but I am doubtful. I think it's just the Detroit drug lords with dreams of expansion that hit my region up. Mostly with crack and heroin, but occasionally meth or prescription pills.

Real Bronx Tours: Politicians Fume Over Bronx ‘Ghetto’ Bus Tours | Breaking News for Black America

Quote:

Foreigners, who are looking to witness from a safe distance, what a “real ghetto” looks like are paying $45 a pop to take a bus tour through the Bronx, and borough politicos are up in arms, according to the New York Post.
Real Bronx Tours are taking mainly White Europeans and Australians on a tour of the Bronx with stops at for photo ops at a food-pantry line, “pickpocket” park, and housing projects.

I'm sure this enrages some people, but it just amuses me. I've adopted a new motto in the last couple of years, "Embrace the nihilism", and I think it applies here. Instead of trying to get pissed off about every little injustice on Earth, pick the ones worth fighting about, and find cynical amusement in the rest.

The bus then reportedly stopped in front of St. Mary’s Park, where she reportedly told the foreigners, “If it were 1980, and you said to me, ‘Lynn, I want to die.’ My answer would be, ‘You’re in the right neighborhood,’” suggesting that the park is unsafe.
That part made my spit water all over my laptop.

There is an update to that saying they will stop all tours lol.
I'm pretty sure they still don't see anything wrong with what they did.

They should have have given the tourists oats to feed to the crackheads.

Kind of makes me wonder why Baltimore didn't do this years ago. I mean look at how much money New Zealand makes off Lord of the Rings by taking people out to where they filmed the movies, Baltimore could do that with sets from The Wire.
