Come to think of it, unions do create jobs. Companies have to hire two workers to do the work of one.

“The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of ‘liberalism’, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.” - Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate 1940, 1944 and 1948

"America is like a healthy body and its resistance is threefold: its patriotism, its morality, and its spiritual life. If we can undermine these three areas, America will collapse from within."  Stalin

The local newspaper had a map like showing  crimes, locations and types.  They received a few complaints from people about it showing blacks in a negative light, and they disabled it.  Most of the drug, violence and property crimes were in concentrated areas.

Which would be the entire City of Detroit.

We had a kid from Flint land here early last fall.  I met him through one of my kids.  I'm from Detroit and he started hanging around between job searching.    Guarded, defensive little bugger.  I kept telling him his biggest problem was that he doesn't have a problem.  You live here and there is no immediate crisis.  He had that "I WILL get you first" look on his face and it wasn't gettting him very far.  So, we started dragging him along while doing chores, going to events in town that had to seem bizarre, but he was polite (though he admitted it was all very wierd).  Got him involved in a couple volunteer gigs just for some work experience.

He finally got a job and though his old habits of defensiveness crop up there, his co-workers just tease him out of those moods.  They don't realize he's serious, and that is working.  He's hoping to bring a younger brother out this summer to live and finish high school.  He says, "Before he gets shot." 

What a life.

You can thank the Democrat machine and unions for this.

I can remember back in the late 70's when the company my dad worked for brought in a black guy from NY Harlem as part of their affirmative action. My father was a chief lineman for the power utility in small town/rural IN. He said tha the guy didn't even know how to turn a wrench or screwdriver but, they had to teach him how to be a lineman. One day, they were way out in the sticks working the lines when one of the guys dared to correct his workmanship while explaining the correct way to do it. He got angry and pulled a knife. The good old boys told him that he had better put it away or he will become "an accident out in the middle of nowhere." The one black guy onthe crew (who was raised local) took him off to the side and told him that these guys aren't out to burn him and they he had better start listening. He also told him that if he pulled a stunt like that again, he would probably particiapate in "the accident." The guy actually mellowed out and became very friendly after that. He was still working there when My dad retired in 1996.

If you want to murder somebody and not get caught, Detroit's the place to do it.

I clicked on about a half dozen of those murder scenes and NONE of them had been solved. Only one had any sort of suspect.

Complete and total anarchy there.  :whatever:

Yeah I noticed that. Something else that I notice is where there is supposed to be a newspaper link about the incident, there is nothing. They don't even bother putting it in the paper.

If they don't report it, it never happened.

Uh... saw my daughter tonight and asked her how our young friend was doing.  I hadn't seen him for a week, maybe 9 or 10 days.  She told me another young fellow that he knew from Flint came out several days ago and the one we got to know stopped working.  Apparently they hang out at a convenience store doing nothing.

Old habits die hard.  He hasn't been in contact and in my pollyannaish way, I figured he was busy working and hoping he had mades friends his own age.  Ones that worked and were making a life for themselves.

Yay, the cancer that is the society of those towns spreads.   :banghead:
