No surprise there.

DETROIT (WXYZ) - It was a deadly night in the city of Detroit. From 6:00 am Friday, August 12th to 6:00 am Saturday, August 13th, a total of fifteen people were shot in the city. Six of those victims died at a total of 9 separate shooting scenes.
Mayor Dave Bing's office released the following statement:
"Reducing violent crime is our number one priority. Chief Godbee and the men and women of the Detroit Police Department are working around the clock to bring these criminals to justice. Our community must continue to work with us to stop this kind of violence. Every resident deserves to be safe and feel safe in their neighborhood."
Out of 100 or so murders in Columbus every year, 85% of the victims and the killers are black (in a city with a 24% black population.) And 80% of those murders occur within a 30 square block area.
Not Bushes fault/
Coleman’s fault.
...you forgot Kenneth Cockrel...one of the worst!
1796 – The United States takes possession of Detroit from Great Britain under terms of the Jay Treaty.
As one of the local papers pointed out, if one is not involved in some nefarious activity, the odds of being shot are inconsequential.
Each dead gang banger adds value to the city, by decreasing non-value added inhabitants. Let them kill each other off.
Well above the average of almost one per day (308 in 2010).
Was Obama in town or something?
Thats because people there dont talk to “5-O”. Snitches get stitches dont you know.
They would wallow in their own filth and blood than rat out a “Bro”.
They complain when the police pull over and question blacks because they say it is “profiling” then they have the Gall to complain that the police aint doing enough to protect them.
Nuke it from orbit, its the only way to be sure.
The proto-typical Democrat welfare state.
Congratulations to them.
Somebody also stole the wiring for the lights.And sold the hoops for scrap metal.
Detroit is kinda like Beirut,
Who really gives a damn any more?
I would be willing to bet that the six victims who died will still show up and vote in 2012.
Good. Six more miscreants dead and buried. What’s not to like?
No surprise there.
Here is another false platitude. “A mind is a terrible thing to waste”! I believe it should be “A strong back is a terrible thing to waste”.
...a total of fifteen people... Six... died... 9 separate shooting scenes. Mayor Dave Bing... "Reducing violent crime is our number one priority..."Yeah, and the best way to do that is to make sure the thugs fight each other. Thanks to the paradox of Zeno, at least half die in each confrontation, leading to complete annihilation. Sadly, Bing's the best Detroit mayor in years.

It is the same in every large city in the US. There are sections of the city where sane people do not go.
You should e-mail John Carpenter and Kurt Russell; see if they’re up for it.
Write a screenplay; not much original research needed, just turn on the news!
Reminds of the original “RoboCop” (the sequels sucked), where Detroit was portrayed as pretty much Hell on Earth. Good film, and one of my favorite dark satires as well.
