Who's going to provide your mobile phone service? Are you going to walk everywhere? Forget food because those rich grocery stores need to be punished.

You DO realize that Detroit would NEVER have been what it once was without those evil corporations.

Yeah detwaDJ uses all the evil corporate stuff and probably came from a family who fed and clothed him/her by working for a business. Hypocrites won't give up the things that the horrible multinational industrialists provide.

Detroit is what you call an existential crisis for liberals. Full of unions, lots of minority neighborhoods, solidly Democrat. For 50 years. It is a microcosm of American liberalism. They have to find a way to blame conservatives for its failure.

When a city known nationwide as a Democrat bastion, and used as a plank of their president's campaign, then goes bankrupt that is a serious crisis for them. If they can't find a way to blame Republicans now, it is going to be a huge problem come 2016.

Detroit has the potential to be hung around their necks the same way they hung "read my lips: no new taxes" around the Republicans' necks back in 92.

See the bolded above? A total misconception of my true thoughts which you should have derived from from my post - but it's just not the picture you want to have, eh.
You display your dittohead "truth" - which just happens to be the same as Faux News and its many rightist contributors. Yes, you can believe whatever you want, isn't freedom great?
Just keep listening to the republican "fair-and-balanced" Fox News. You still won't have a clue about Detroit and you won't have to lift a finger to find anything out on your own either.
I lived and worked there, but Limbaugh is all you got.

Again you actually SAY nothing but make false inferences that I'm a right winger....which I am NOT.

Come up with some new lines for a change.

Conservative hatred of the worker and attempted destruction of the economy for political gain.

Bull***! There is no excuse to steal from someone who worked hard to get where he was as a business owner!!!!

Never underestimate the propensity for human nature to sink to its lowest level, raise compulsory charity from a vice to a virtue, condemn the donor, and praise the recipient.

Certainly this is not ENDEMIC to Detroit. There have been stories of flash mobs of urban youth raiding stores and causing havoc in other places all over America. I would bet my paycheck that every major city in America have such incidents within their city. What kills me is when people act like its something unique to Detroit. Maybe the store owner will move to the Inglewood neighborhood in Chicago and open up a store....since this only happens in Detroit.

True....but this thread is about it happening in Detroit. I don't think anyone claimed it only happens there. But what are we supposed to discuss when the story takes place there?

The fact that it happens all over the USA is indicative of the deterioration of our youth. Adults play a huge part in that trend.

Business and workers are symbiotic. So drive business out and you hurt yourself. No wonder why Obama hates small businesses. They don't make enough money to pay the government for protection and can help people from becoming dependent on government.
