Chilling video shows what it is like driving through Detroit at night [tr]
UK Daily Mail ^ | August 22, 2016 | Staff

It has become known as a mecca of violent crime and poverty, and now a viral video is giving an unpleasant view of Detroit after dark. The clip, called Driving through Detroit at night, was filmed by a woman who was a passenger in a car going around the Motor City and was posted to Twitter at the weekend. It shows terrifying scenes of gangs gathered on the sidewalk, prostitutes lifting up their skirts and dancing, and even a man being run over by a car on purpose.

Greektown to the RenCen is less than a mile walk, and not really through the worst parts. Sure, 5+ years ago, it was still a bit seedy, but nothing like that which this video is showing. We are talking about the part of town “across the freeway” (West of I-94 through to about the Southfield Freeway).

You’re experience, sorry to tell you, is not relative.

Who would want to take that risk?

Detroit is like a war zone.

There are actually quite a few of these if you view on youtube and look at the videos to the right.

Each one worse than the last.

Honestly, though, I am from Albany, NY and we had areas nearly as bad or worse 20 years ago. Many of them, you pretty much had to drive through to get down town, right off the highway. They were far worse in the warm weather when they were all out. Though, yeah, the burning fires in the streets, that was the regular in the cooler weather.

This is nothing new, just the natural habitat and living in the ruins of a once functional society.

As long as you were totally aware of your surroundings and the people around you and able to sprint away in a moment, or armed, or both, you were ok.

Probably about thirty years ago, a number of people I knew at a convention in Detroit did the same thing, and all reported being asked by blacks if they were okay, with serious concern. In the same trip, I asked directions from a hotel clerk to a mall. I wondered why she directed me through the worst part of town to the shopping center...until I drove around some more and saw that all parts of the city were like that.

Today, it is notable for being the only American city to grow to over 1 million and later fall below that mark and the only major American city to file for bankruptcy. The last time Detroit elected a Republican mayor was 1958.

It's kind of like certain people are programmed to self-destruct.

This was posted on FR yesterday, or maybe it was the day before.
I wonder if the Daily Mail are reading FR so that they don’t miss anything newsworthy - they must get plenty of hits coming via FR because of the number DM stories posted on here - so they must be aware of us - so that would be cool!

In reality nobody drives through Detroit at speeds low enough to see ANY of that.

...But Trump may have hurt Mika and Joe’s feelings. Elect Hillary! I think a new meme should be... ok black America you want Hillary so bad and want the 2nd and 1st amendment done away with, let’s go for the 13th also while we are at it. I mean heck you are already slaves, waiting on massa, common field negros sans the picking of cotton, might as well codify it in the law also. All due respect to the brave black men who served for the Union, but you were given freedom primarily by white blood and abolitionist politicians, you really didn’t win\earn it. Why we still have the plantation mentality 150 years later.

Detroit is the logical conclusion of Democrat policies, and if they are allowed to, the Dems will turn every city into Detroit. It’s a template.
