St. Louie, Detroit, Flint and Compton must be really, really, really bad.
I'm surprised Gary, Indiana, isn't higher on the list. Several years ago I was traveling to a project in Benton Harbor, MI, from a project in Champaign, IL,. Sitting in stop and go traffic on the interstate near Gary, I watched as several cars ahead of me were robbed by what appeared to be gang bangers from a certain ethnic group. There was no exit. The only thing folks could do was empty their wallets. Not sure if it was my NRA sticker or my 1911 Colt .45 I set out on the console in plain view, but they left me alone when they came by my truck.....
I had a group of gang-banger types in my store one day. They were looking at a case of miniatures.
One of them asked what they were.
I told them that they were miniature replicas of famous buildings.
He immediately asked "Do you have the Compton courthouse in there?"
Sad, really.
detroit's only getting better because so many people are leaving the city.
