The FBI released its final 2006 violent crimes report on Monday.
Detroit remains No. 1 and Flint remain No. 3 in the nation for violent crimes among cities with a population of 100,000 or more.

According to this list, you guys are in second place behind St. Louis. Again. First the World Series. Now this. Guess you guys just have to get used to second.
Time for a strategic redeployment from Detroit to someplace where we can come in on a moments notice. Is Okinawa still available?
Buts weze stil gots the Detroyt Lyons. Cent Luis aintz gots dat.
Sorry to hear that about Detroit. I didn’t realize how bad the problems were until our neighbors moved. Thinking they were more upstate New Yorkers from Buffalo like so many other newcomers to the area, I was somewhat surprised to discover they were and listened to their woeful tale of life in places like Detroit, Flint and Lansing.
It’s more important to black voters to have a black person as leader than somebody who is competent.
Darn shame.
the kids brought up in these inner city hell holes haven't got much of a chance.....
they know not what a true family is, what a father is, what a long lasting marriage is,which to me is the cornerstone of society's stability....
even if the schools were perfect, the schools don't teach them how to talk, how to think, how to react...that is already developed before kindergarten..
I feel guilty enough!
My God, I have central air!
Oh, the hugh manatee!
Yep, it's called the NBA and the NFL, two places where intellectually and emotionally stunted men keep the crime wave going strong. Shootings, stabbings, wife beatings, dead bodies found in players' car trunks, arrests during late-night strip joint brawls, players facing Courts for beating fans with chairs, rape allegations, vicious dog fighting rings, drug busts, probation violations, illegal steroid usage, you name it.
It is my experience, having grown up in the Detroit metro area, that this will be a badge of honor for many Detroiters.
That’s exactly what they have in St Louis proper. Lacy Clay Jr. is their Congreesman. Keeps the entitlements coming and has a meal ticket for life. Worked for Sr. for 30 plus years as well. They spend their time whinning about black issues rather than pulling the city out of the war zone.

“It’s more important to black voters to have a black person as leader than somebody who is competent.”
Actually, there’s an awful lot of truth in that. One just needs to look at Ray Nagin (New Orleans), Marion Berry (DC), just to name a couple. I lived in New Orleans for many years. New Orleans has had a black mayor for the last 30 years and will never again have a white mayor. It has elected some real losers. I asked some black co-workers once why they voted for such scoundrels, and they were very up-front about it. They said: “Because he’s one of us. He’s black.”
Re: Your Post #11
The race pimps like Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton and Juilan Bond always say that if only a black kid from the ‘hood were given the chance to get out of the ‘hood and make good money that black kid would become a good and productive citizen. Yeah, right. Look at the scores of black athletes and rappers who got out of the ‘hood, made obscene amounts of money, and still act like they never left the ‘hood. The reason so many blacks are criminals and gang bangers is based on one reason and one reason only: The virtual non-existence of a stable family influence. I see it on a daily basis, at work, as it is obvious who came from a stable family and who didn’t. Almost without exception those who came from a stable family are articulate and educated, have pride in themselves, and are good at what they do. Those who came from unstable families speak the ‘hood lingo, butcher the English language, revere thuggish black “celebrities,” and generally don’t get along at all with their stable counterparts. It ALL goes back to the family. The liberals’ institution of the dependency doctrine was the biggest crime committed against blacks since slavery. Before the liberals began to screw everything up in the 1960s the divorce rate among white families was much higher than among black families. Un-wed motherhood was also higher among white women. That changed virtually overnight when the liberals went on their crusade to “rescue” Black America. If I were a conspiracy theorist I’d think the liberals did that intentionally in order to create a permanent voting bloc. If that were the case, they succeeded beyond their wildest expectations.
I have known a few that actually did make good lives for themselves once they escaped. One discovered he was a very good programmer, for example.
However, in these examples, in every instance there were TWO parents.
At least we’re no. 1 at something.
Great job Detroit and Flint. I’m proud to live between you both.
Detroit is a liberal utopia and named a “cool city” by our communist governor.
In Michigan, “cool city” means money is stolen from productive, working communities and given to welfare bums, crooked politicians and useless bureaucrats in cities that vote for her.
