I just drove thru there in May to cross the border into Canada....believe me I would have stayed out of Detroit but it is one of the least painful of the border crossings (Ambassador Bridge)
Yes, Detroit looks as bad as everyone says. Just an absolute crap hole

>"it’s better for innocent lost normal people to be trapped in a ghetto and be attacked, robbed and killed than for someone to feel offended."It's also better to rape and molest children and the elderly than to offend the moose at the airports.

The Detroit of my youth used to be a nice place. JL Hudson Thanksgiving Parade, the JL Hudson Christmas Toy Land with Santa, the window animation Christmas displays at Hudson, all the stores and movie houses on Woodward Ave, etc.
50 years of LibTurd RAT rule has made it this mess

Yes.
Just look at our troops, they can’t shoot at night even if they see someone planting IED’s because it might disturb and upset the locals.

If they really wanted to increase tourism and clean up the city, they’d let gun owners go on ‘safari’ and thin out the gangsters and other bad elements.
