It says it in the very first sentence. Did you not bother to read that far?

I'll miss that fake Mitch Hedberg accent he talks in.

Ooh, my day has been made so much brighter! Some person somewhere says they like Detroit! This is awesome news!

Ha ha! Hilarious!

Apparently I was censored. Fill in the blanks, though, with an adjective suitable to someone who calls crime victim's liars because their reality doesn't jibe with someone's fantasy view of the city.

Cross-post to "Blame the victim."

Once again, the head in the sand crowd comes forth with their desperate attempts to deny that Detroit just might have a problem with crime.

Wintersmommy, you...

Gee, English, maybe because they've committed actual crimes, like robbery and murder and assault and rape?

Wow, lefties sure love to think that they're some kind of threat to the state, yet they...

Canuck, let's see one of those drivers in Havana say something publicly against their government and see what happens. Yes - more poverty and few freedoms are a great alternative.

The irony is,...

Jams, then tell me - show me ONE SINGLE PLACE where your alternative philosophies have worked.

Just one.

Those were ideas within capitalism that modified it. They were never meant to destroy capitalism. Nobody is saying it should be unfettered. Nice straw man, though.

There's a big difference between...

Pam, what's a bigger failure - capitalism or communism? Which philosophy has provided a greater standard of living? Longer life expectancy? Greater human rights?

It is ridiculous for you to imply...

Because collectivism, most often in some form of Marxism, is at the root of all their satellite philosophies.

What a spectacle - a bunch of kids and mental children from the richest country in the world gathered to promote economic ideas that have failed every single time they've been tried, ideas that have...

Right, Reality. Let's shoot the messenger. Detroit's reputation for RANDOM violence that goes unsolved is not worth bringing up.

Gratuitous? Nine people get shot in front of thousands of witnesses at one of the city's premier events and six years later the shooter is free somewhere. It's not gratuitous; it actually speaks...

You guys just don't get it. Or choose to play stupid.

Go to any of the top 30, or top 40 cities in the country. Those things are the NORM. You shouldn't have to point those things out to pat...

Abandoned.

I'm not sure what's more strange - the fact that you've been gone 16 years yet make a general statement about a place where you don't live, or the fact that you say this despite there being tens of...

That text you "cited" reads nothing like a news article.

How about this - scan and post the actual articles and we can make a judgment for ourselves.

Two of the links in your confusing post don't even work. Why am I not surprised you guys didn't have the paperwork right for the day of the filming either?

Simple fact: no permit + brandishing...

I wasn't referring to that piece, which was essentially harmless. I was talking about the project in its entirety.

I suppose we hicks should be totally uncritical and just lap up whatever is written about us, without analysis, or discussion, or examination, right?

Well is it "stomp out kings" or "Stamp out Kings"? You call it two different things.

It's not the past 5-10 years. In the parts of the city the truck serves its the last few decades. This is not a new phenomenon.

What does that even mean?

Again, her problem is her assumption that the reactions of a suburbanite are more interesting than objectively reporting the situation she found. She even provides a link...
