irector Kathryn Bigelow throws us into the middle of a riot in Detroit, and in the words of the Martha and the Vandellas song, theres nowhere to run to, and theres nowhere to hide. Going to a theater, walking down the street, running down the street, even staying at home and looking out the window none of it is safe. The burned-out businesses and wreckage dont look like America but like a scene out of Lebanon or Kosovo, except that we recognize it, and we know. Thats us.

43 people died during the four days that the Detroit riots lasted. Typical weekend toll in present day Chicago.
Detroit actually not looking all that shabby if that’s the worst it could do.
[Michael Brown]
Ah, the liberal false narrative.
Brown thought he was getting arrested for physical assault during a robbery (theft) in broad daylight.
The cop would have just moved him out of the street - Brown went for the gun with his “demon face”....
Time for more cap-n-gown pics......
This was not just National Guard, The Army was also involved in this, Husband belonged to the 17AHC out of Ft Riley Kansas they were all activated and Moved in for a week or so Gun Ships and all They were shipping out to Viet Nam in couple Months and needed some Practice. Another Freeper on here was also there with another unit. And YES they has Ammo even though it was reported they did not.
They need to do a movie called “Chicago”, “life and death in a Progressive NWO Ghetto”!
Visited Detroit in the mid nineties. It was Jefferson Ave, if I remember correctly, that had signs about every 1/2 mile that proclaimed “ Motorist beware after dark”.
Uh oh, The director with a snowflake. I call whitewashing!
This is Hollywood - it has to be a 'We Hate White People Movie'. There aren't enough white people living on the South Side of Chicago to blame - and most of the shootings by cops are done by black cops. So there ain't gonna be no modern day movie about racial violence in Chicago.
Might as well have Ken Burns produce it.
Anytime I see that name while making the sort of statement these morons are making, I have a tendency to start swearing. Michael Brown was a street thug who attempted to bum rush a cop he thought was about to arrest him for a strong-arm robbery he had just committed, who got dead for his stupidity. His problem was one the black community needs to solve, the problem of a young man with no respect for law, order, and norms of civilized behavior.
It’s an anti-cop movie,especially white cops.
If violence results from the movie they will blame Trump.
.
Absolutely correct.
Odd how a newspaper in a Sanctuary City could come up with such a review that glorifies this type of lawlessness... Maybe there's a connection?
The newest 'Sanctuary Cities' are ones where laws about bias against democrat protected victim groups can be ignored.
It's called 'turn about's fair play Sanctuary Cities'... oh and no one has to pay State taxes...or their bill to their local newspaper.
Tragically Hip cover of Gordon Lightfoot's hit. The one link that I could find of his original would not play and had a caption reading 'This video is not available'.
Ding, ding, ding - we have a thread winnah!
Detroit 1967
Lets not forget his partner in crime, Dorian Johnson, a convicted liar, who fomented the whole “hands up, don’t shoot” BS.
What ever Brown did, Johnson made it exponentially worse with his falsehoods. Furthermore, I am convinced that that narrative was promoted by the local social justice “clergy” that inevitably show up at these events.
Liar, liar, towns on fire.
