This probably isn't a Christian thing to say, but anyone who desecrates a church deserves to be shot.
I don't live in Detroit, but it seems like some Detroit citizens are their own worst enemy. They can't get a job, so they steal. People get tired of their homes and businesses being stripped, so they leave the city, or the state altogether. Therefore, there's less tax base, less businesses, fewer jobs. Then these citizens can't get a job, so they steal and scrap and brick rustle...
It's like a never-ending cycle.
