Driver who stopped to check on boy his truck hit is severely beaten by bystanders

I know these stories are uncommon and NOT at all representative of Detroiters, but they are scary as hell. The depravity is like off the charts, in so many ways, like feral children running [[and ruling) the streets.

After hearing this, I think I would have to think hard about stopping for an accident in certain areas.

Agreed. I try to patronize Detroit business as much as possible. I am constantly trying to get friends to go to Detroit, too [[for something other than a sporting event). When people say "aren't you scared?" I reply that hundreds of thousands of people live in Detroit and they aren't murdered.

But jeezus, this could happen to anyone. Eff that, I'm driving away and pressing my OnStar emergency button.

Naww nothing bad happened, it was a good day for those interested in Social Justice.

The guy from Macomb County deserved his beating for what he represented, the evil white people.

This is exactly why you think what happened is a joke, Oooooh indeed.

I hope that you were joking. If not, the poor guy stopped and went to the kids aide. Did the kid darted out in front of the truck? Many people in Detroit love to walk into traffic displaying the low level of intellegents acquired through poor upbringing and mental illnes. This man didnt deserve the beating. Would you deserve a beating from a group of Macomb County men
if you were to hit a child accidentally with your car

That's right detroitnerd, bad things DO happen in Detroit, and your acting like people are wimps, or scared of their own shadow, or making a mountain out of a molehill, or some racial spin, or even the ever popular "....all they ever report is the bad stuff....or....just say good things about Detroit....", doesn't negate the fact that people ARE being beat to death at Gas Stations, jumped and ganged up on after stopping to make sure they are okay, because the kid made a stupid mistake playing a stupid game. Bodies found, dogs AND human.....thousands upon thousands of ignored rape victim police kits found covered in dust in some shuttered, forgotten warehouse. So people shouldn't feel scared to come here? They should just go ahead and come on down? Why, so it can be shown to be a safe City? It's not always safe here, and rather than avoid the conversation, we should be starting new one's, addressing the issues that create this culture, rather than just giving up and telling those that have concerns for safety that they're just scaredy pies.
