I live in Warren, Michigan's third largest city, and I can assure you that random shootings are very, very abnormal. In fact, even motive-driven shootings are not normal.
No other city in Michigan has big city problems like Detroit because no other city in Michigan IS a big city. You can't solve the problems in Detroit the same way you can in Benton Harbor or Allen Park [[or even compare the problems in Detroit with other Michigan cities), despite what the home rule cities act says.

Once we get that through the heads of most citizens in Michigan, then we will be well on our way to fixing Detroit.
