So if a bunch of young people were detained and had be picked-up by their parents -- my reaction...so what! The fireworks should be for families, not groups of kids looking to start fights or cause trouble. I hate to generalize, but the youth in this city are
out-of-control, confrontational, loud, obnoxious, and have zero respect for
anything or anyone. I've lived in Detroit and in the Burbs for 40+ years and
I've been to the fireworks once -- I refuse to go and put my safety, or the
safety of my family at risk.
