It has become known as a mecca of violent crime and poverty, and now a viral video is giving an unpleasant view of Detroit after dark. The clip, called Driving through Detroit at night, was filmed by a woman who was a passenger in a car going around the Motor City and was posted to Twitter at the weekend. It shows terrifying scenes of gangs gathered on the sidewalk, prostitutes lifting up their skirts and dancing, and even a man being run over by a car on purpose.

I love Detroit. I love love love Greektown.

It has a new face today and is beautiful.
Like most of the rest of Detroit.

This video was shot at Woodward and Nevada, a very ugly part of the city. Every city has parts like this but only Detroit gets the bad press.

Come back and see us sometime. Up north this last month I have met tourists from Texas, Alaska, Montana, Arizona,North Carolina, Canada, Illinois, Ohio, Indiana, Missouri, Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Jamaica.

Michigan is a beautiful, wonderful state.

How many sci-fi books and movies featured a future where a privileged few live in splendor surrounded by a sea of impoverished predatory humanity?

Looks like they got it right.

This is happening every night, in every major and medium city in the US, and particularly bad in democrat strongholds.

That does sound like Washington state. I spent 25 years there. So sorry to see you are still stuck in the socialist hellhole, unless you live on the east side of the side.

I was born in Detroit, but we left in the early sixties. My mom, now 94 years old, has only fond memories of what her Detroit used to be.

It's kind of like certain people are programmed to self-destruct.

Now that you mention it, it certainly is kind of like how so many women are attracted to men who will treat them like ****. Even if they get free from one, they'll find another.

my radical idea is that these people must be rewarded someway to NOT procreate...have two and that's it....no more...

they are just breeding more and more generations of chaotic violent people....

of course the onus falls on the women, as it always does, to stop at 2...but maybe the men could get in on the rewards if they agree to get a vasectomy....
