Tyler Wingate was brutally murdered immediately after a car accident with another driver. The beating was witnessed. The assailant is still on the loose.
The new normal: Don't get out of your car after an accident?
Berkley comes together to support family of young man fatally beaten...
This is just awful. Won't be long before he's found. The punk sucker punches him and the poor kid goes down. Why couldn't he just walk away?! No, he continues to pummel and kick him to death. Smh
^^^ The alleged coward perp has a long wrap sheet of drivers license suspensions, etc. The car he was driving as not his.
I mistakenly backed into a car two winters ago, very minor finder bender - my car taking most of the damage. The other party got out ready to argue. I stayed in, talking to her thru the window until she calmed down!! But for a moment things were poised to escalate.
They're gonna catch this tool soon - yet what's up with the others with him?
This is just horrible. Makes me want to carry more personal protection with me, whether it's my 9mm, or something less lethal to discourage something like this happening. Maybe some pepper spray or ?

Imagine the news coverage and outrage if the victim was black.
I would be all for vigilante justice on this punk. Let him experience the fear the poor guy he beat experienced. Jail will not even phase someone with this mentality.
I think that's been the normal for a long time...at least at 2 a.m. when you're outnumbered in a shady area of town. Stay in your car and call the police or if the car is driveable take it to the nearest precinct and make a report there.Quote:

I could tell she was nervous, but now maybe she'd have stayed in car, called the police which would've been fine as a report was needed anyway.
This is a troubling occurrence in the city. Violent folks with nothing are ready to fight after accidents. I'm sure at 2am on a hot summer night its even worse. Control yourselves people. Control will get you far in life.
If the victim were black, this story would get one paragraph and be gone 12 hours later.
Then there's DPD who made a NextDoor call out for help finding the killer and of course said it happened on the east side of Detroit. Yes, DPD you do need help.
Make that gone faster from the news stream black+black.
Had it been a white person beating a black person after an accident, it would be national news+plus.
Clearly we see violence increasing, with little regard or remorse on several fronts... increasingly more callous.

^^^ OK, please provide the reason-ing for when a black person does this to another black person: existential self-loathing?

Happened on Livernois and Davison, hardly the east side. Senseless, hope they catch this sorry excuse of a human being.
^^^ Yeah I noticed that right away. West side. I was just a grocery store on Davison and Linwood Saturday. Sketchy area, but it's better when you know a few merchants and what not.
At night, especially late many are driving high speed like MANIACS along Davison, hauling to get onto the Lodge.
UPDATE: Suspect is now in custody

This is indeed the story of "two Detroit's".
The Old Detroit: Poor, angry, short tempered, multiple run-ins with the law, no regard for their life or the lives of others.
The New Detroit: Optimistic, driven, caring, willing to believe in something previous generations gave up on/ ran away from.
As a BE resident myself [[same as the victim) who is constantly talking up the city at every opportunity and bringing friends and family in whenever I can this is extremely troubling.
Meanwhile, we're in the midst of this debate over facial recognition software being used by the DPD. I say, Chief Craig, get it working on as many cameras as possible and make it known Detroit won't stand for this kind of ANYWHERE in the city any longer.
Relying on facial recognition software is not a solution, but rather an invitation for mistakes, abuse and a big-brother world. https://www.cnet.com/news/why-facial...hard-to-crack/Quote:

My point was, when things like this are happening why are we even debating taking a valubal tool out of the hands of police? Is facial recognition perfect? No. Should it be used as the last word in suspect identification? Of course not, and no one has argued as such.Quote:

First off.. it’s terrible what happened to the young man..regardless of race. Far as your statement if victim was black... everyone knows if the Vic was black, SRT wouldn’t be tossing flashbangs in homes looking for the suspect. He or she may get picked up on random traffic stop, etc... The only time we see this type of “manhunt” is when an officer is killed or a suburbanite. That’s the real deal Holyfield.
Detroit Police has found that young thug. Hiding in the hood.
^^^ I mention that a few thread ago. I wonder what's the story on the persons house he was hiding at? Or was it his address?
Yeah, how dare those people live in poverty and make it so I can't get a decent pour over.Quote:

Okay we won't paint you anywhere. However in recent years,
certainly since year 2000, there have been more persons and
entities with massive amounts of capital to lend, including from
mainland China, which is not at all a democracy at this time.
This capital could be used, if the capital managers and
municipal managers so desire, for municipal and infrastructure bonds.
In other countries where China has invested for infrastructure
they do support authoritarian regimes. Without painting you into
any corner, as both Republicans such as Snyder and Democrats
such as Whitmer do seem to feel that improving infrastructure
is an excellent goal, one can suggest that those working with
Chinese and other major capital investors might prefer facial
recognition systems both because it is something that can be
sold as well as integrated into other platforms and something
that would lend itself to an authoritarian style of government in
the long run.
Thank you both Ferndale and Detroit communities for supporting
Mr. Wingate while he was alive and honoring him now that he
is gone.
Bear in mind that these days MDOC will not routinely allow
color photo prints of family members to be sent to the
prisoners. MDOC may need to be authoritarian, for the most part the
prisoners are offenders, and outnumber the staff; most
people will find it difficult to be sympathetic, but it is a very
authoritarian institution that Laurence Davis will likely be
staying in for years on end. We aren't all that far away from
being as authoritarian as China.
I have nothing to do with the facial recognition argument and it seems like a stretch to connect that to Chinese money
When those Facial Recognition cameras be in every last ghetto hoods in Detroit and suburbs. It's open season for thugs!!!
Retail in the city is tough. A guy I know opened a pizza place in the Houston- Whittier / Hayes area. It lasted about 5 months, business was good in the store, behind bulletproof glass, but he couldn’t t keep a delivery driver. They were getting set up, robbed, beat up, pistol whipped, you name it. He couldn’t stay open, it wasn’t his fault.Quote:

^^^ Rhetoric! Identity politics. This talk only foments more racism, anger, and unaddressed violence and crime coming from all directions!
Yep! There was a well known BBQ place in that area called Milts Barbecue, Milts was loved by many, provided jobs in the community as he could, excellent food, Chandler Park Golf Club member etc. He was gunned down in his store [[by one of his own employees). The family soldiered on for a while but finally closed shop a few years after.
That HW/ Hayes area is just too predatory by a few making it bad and nearly unlivable for the rest.
