I’m glad Detroit is shaping up. It is difficult if not impossible to wrest control of cities from democrats. The very structure of a city creates dependency on government, which is the lifeblood of the democrat party.
Believe it or not, in the last governor’s election here in Massachusetts most of the state was red but for the western part (all blue, but sparsely populated) and the cities. Most towns voted Republican.
Detroit police Chief James Craig was on CNN this morning. I got the impression that they were hoping that he would give them an angry black man response but he’s a lot closer in thinking to David Clarke than Al Sharpton.
He thinks the prosecutor was too quick to charge and charging all 6 was a mistake. Says he agrees with the broken windows theory of crime prevention and that Detroiters have demanded that they keep the teenagers off the street at night. He’s also pushing to create a welcoming environment for business by controlling crime.
