Yup the Big 3 leaving is the reason why Detroit went bankrupt yeah I think that's it. I'll stick to that meme.

VIDEO: Looters trash Detroit gas station - Fox 2 News Headlines

Quote:
It's a shocking crime caught on surveillance video. Looters trash and steal from a Detroit gas station. No one's been arrested or charged in the case. The owner tells us, he's thinking of closing up shop.

Click on the video player to see the surveillance video and Randy Wimbley's live report.

A free for all at a gas station on Detroit's east side has the store manager fed up. He asked not to be identified, fearing retaliation for coming forward, and Fox 2 is not revealing the location of the gas station.

"The city ain't the same anymore," he says. "The young, ignorant generation is moving business owners and the good citizens of Detroit out of the city."

It happened around 12:30am Sunday and it was all caught on camera. The owner says his clerk told a man to leave the store and that threw the customer into a rage. He banged on the bullet proof glass, swiped nearly everything off the counter, and that's when people started running inside one by one and helping themselves to anything and everything in the store. One woman can be seen leaving and then coming back for more merchandise.

"What's running through your mind as this is happening?" Fox 2 asked the manager.

"This is the City of Detroit," he said.

They are just making the redistribution more efficient.

Except that the thugs just take indiscriminately and always choose the wrong targets.

Can't figure it out? Guess you're listening to Fox Noise.
Put your Glenn Beck thinking cap on, then go over each point. It will take a bit of effort - and maybe some research.

Yeah....you're brilliant.

Ever wonder who's going to be around to steal from when the greedy businesses all close?

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.
