Two bodies found in Detroit...missing boys? (murders, cities, killers)

2 bodies removed from scene near Detroit's City Airport - Fox 2 News Headlines


This is just so sad. I just don't understand all these heinous acts. You want the kid's money? Beat 'em up and take it, but to shoot and kill them? Friggin' heathens. I know there is bad crime in a lot of big cities, but I am sick to death of hearing about all the killing in Detroit. That city needs a bomb.

OTOH, those kids and any other need to GET IT! The city is NOT safe! Especially in the areas they were in. You better be packin' if you go there, because you WILL be the only ones who aren't if you aren't.

Come on, people know that in ANY large city in the USA they are not safe. Detroit is no worse than the others. The kids deliberately go down there looking for excitement, and sometimes they get more than they expected. I'm not going to blame them. I'm going to blame the guys who killed them.

True. Right. The guys who killed them are definitely to blame. Just sick how we should just accept that if you go into a "certain" area the local heathens may kill you. Ridiculous.

On the day we accept THAT, the punkolas have won.

We did and they do. For a city to have as many murders and other crimes as Detroit does...including the dang gov't there, I would say, at this point, they have won. That is my whole point. It needs to be taken back.

It actually is being taken back. Partly by Mother Nature. Large areas of the city have been completely deserted and are literally turning back into forest, with deer and raccoons and stuff. People are coming in from outside of town and buying up plots of land, plowing them up and planting vegetables and raising chickens, and selling their produce at Eastern Market and to the local restaurants. The local Hispanic population is setting up new businesses like it's never been done before. They are even finally getting some local grocery stores going there, and it's been a while since they saw any of those opening instead of closing. There have been very active, successful neighborhood efforts for years to get the crime rate down, like Angel's Night and the year-round neighborhood watch programs.

While most of us are looking bleakly at the empty auto plants and dabbing at our eyes, the rest of us are rolling up our sleeves and going to work.

detroit is a special situation. it was pretty much abandoned by the auto interests after they had sucked the lifeblood out of the place. the government is atrocious. but detroit is a city in transition. i actually would love to visit there, but i know to be careful. a friend of mine who is from detroit has a great tshirt. it says "i'm from detroit- where visitors are eaten alive". i think detroit natives have a kind of pride about the dirty-low-down rep that the city has. it breeds survivors. don't write it off just yet. people ARE taking it back. it just takes time.

its cool to hear too about the new latino businesses. where i am from, in north georgia, there is a town called canton that had a sort of "bad side" of town. its now "little mexico" with lots of latino grocery stores, bakeries, and restaurants. its been reclaimed. and its also SAFER now. and the roughest part of town in america is probably a freaking cake walk compared to just about anyplace in central america or mexico right now.

Vacant Detroit becomes dumping ground for the dead - The Argus-Press: National:

This article explains that the 2 boys are the 11th and 12th murder victims this year to have been dumped in the city limits by their killers. But it also explains that all of them have been killed OUTSIDE the city limits. See, people are so afraid of Detroit because it's supposed to be a gunslinging free-for-all, but it just happens to be so empty and deserted now that it is a perfect disposal site for people killed in other parts of the state. Look at how Jane Bashara's killer dumped her in an alley downtown in an obvious attempt to make it look like a big-city crime. She sure wasn't gunned down in the Cass Corridor.
