Detroit officials are fuming after two visiting United Nations lawyers scolded the city for cutting off water to delinquent customers and described the shut-offs as a “human rights” violation.

My free water won’t come out of the ground if I fail to pay my electric bill and maintain my pump and plumbing.

So just WHO was responsible for granting these UN appointed gadflies an audience?

They should have been told to F' off............

[BookmanTheJanitor]

The 2 UN nutjobs are free to pay the bills for the Detroit water customers...

[Bernard Marx]

In other words, demanding that people be responsible for maintaining and paying for their own water supplies is now a U.N. "human rights violation." And the U.N. feels entitled to interfere in our sovereign affairs to enforce its rules.

Why is it that those of us who maintain the U.N.'s goal is to establish world socialist government under control of unelected bureaucrats are called "conspiracy theorists?" It's right there in front of our noses, folks.

Let Detroit’s gimmedats carry it home balanced on their head.

The UN involvement is about more than Detroit drinking water. Its about UN control of the great lakes.

They should take it up with Democrat senatorial candidate Gary Peters.

Peters Profits from Detroit Water

Lawyers? UN community agitators? Who is paying the UNaccountable bureaucrats (socialists) who are paying these clowns?

“Not so fast. According to EPA it’s illegal to collect rainwater.
Or let rainwater from your property run into the street.”

Be a great way o go after Obama with two weeks left. “You have to pay for water because of Obama’s EPA.” Force the admin to step in..

[cripplecreek]

Pantload Peters profits from pure potability.

[ex91B10]

Add “affordable housing”.

Thanks for the link, ‘creek. Progressive profiteering from the misfortunes of the poor? Who’da thunk it? Peter’s pipers picked a pack of plundered profits from the poor. Detroit’s coke brothers may not like this.

Detroit officials: “bristle”, “fuming”, “very disappointed”...

I guess Obama has a lock on “seething” this week.

[Repeat Offender]

It's Detroit.......most people don't pay for their own groceries, rent, cars, and gas. When it is no longer paid for, then the riots will start.

Of course there's always a risk that a shortage of the latest Air Jordans, or some felon getting shot by a CCW holder may jump start the rioting.

[Secret Agent Man]

I am surprised the UN could spare a couple people from its jam-packed slate of screwing things up tremedously, across the rest of the globe.
