I'm almost 73 years old and have seen some bad shit in my life but I've never seen anything as disgusting as the video at the link.

The video opens with a man lying lifeless on the sidewalk, accompanied with a cacophony of expletives and shouting. The camera then turns toward a circle of several men brutally stomping and punching an apparent victim. Another man lying on the ground is grabbed by the leg and helicoptered by a person before being pummeled by a flurry of fists.

Bystanders, who may or may not have contributed to the riotous brawls, are seen laughing at the spectacle and seemingly don’t do anything about it. The recorder of the video even appears to shake hands with one of the onlookers, appreciating the violence.

And this was in Greektown, which is a well populated and fairly nice area, generally considered very safe. Just think what happens in the neighborhoods.

Dude, I didn't see any human beings in that video.



I found what you said riveting.

Greek Town is a fairly nice area, when it has the high police presence that it normally has during the summer. These thugs took advantage.

That is over though, it was announced that summer manpower levels are in effect immediately. DPD was not impressed.

My 85 year old uncle told a few years back that he thought he was going to be checking out of this place at the right time. I think he might be right.

I do not walk the streets of Detroit.

When I do drive through Detroit I am armed.

As far as I am concerned, Detroit is a lost shell of a once great city.

Used to be, anyway.

They keep talking-up Detroit's renaissance around here and I keep seeing and hearing of this kind of thing, so I'll keep staying away.

I've been going there since I was a child, and worked in Detroit on and off for years. However, I stopped going there in the last couple of years because the odds of getting injured by the locals has increased greatly. I went with my son and his band to play music on Grand Avenue. I had a Glock 19 in each pocket and spare mags, and still felt under gunned. This is a bad place. If you look around you, the locals are watching as if you are prey. I was afraid if I was attacked and had to react I would be the victim in the media and in the courts. No thanks, no more. Unfortunately, I can't convince my son and his friends to stay away from there. They still go down to Greek town and the Zoo.

Walked in Southgate, Taylor and Garden City. That's enough. Downtown Detroit? Nope.
When I walked, my hand was in my right front pocket on my pistol.

This is human filth/garbage. Its well past the time we needed to start culling the herd. Either that, or wall them off and forget about it.

Serious question: How in the heck do you do it? It seems like a task no too different from getting terrorists in the "tribal areas" of Afghanistan.

When they get their own kind in office in courts, police department, social services, city leadership, this is what you get. This way the 'man' doesn't force the locals to undergo racist courts. This is their utopia. Every time we try to eliminate this the racists flag is waved by the media. The end of the welfare state would cull the herd. It might take a generation, it would work.

I see that several from that area have already posted stating how they never go into that area unless armed. My question has to do with the local gun laws: Is it fairly easy to acquire & carry a weapon (legally)? As for me, I am in Tennessee where it is VERY easy to get & stay armed (as Our Constitution says it should be), and I really have a hard time trying to envision what it would be like to have to live in a place where one cannot defend oneself.

Michigan has pretty decent gun laws. Getting a CPL is easy and you can open carry without a CPL with certain restrictions. In this particular area there is a casino, into which you would be prohibited from carrying but you would be ok on the street.

Everyone that can be identified in the video should be brought to justice. Everyone of them. There should be consequences equal to the violence. As long as people feel they can post this type of stuff as "entertainment" it will continue until the consequences are real. Urban terrorism is as real as any other.

Everyone within 20 yards of that should be lined up in a public square and executed. Not only the ones throwing kicks and punches, but anyone who cheered it on.

Back to reality, likely few to none will be caught, those that are will get a slap on the wrist, and we will all be sitting around the next time it happens wondering what has happened to society, until the next, next time it happens.

It is, but, ironically: If you do there's almost no point in going to Greektown. The big attractions are a casino, in which you're prohibited from carrying by law, and the restaurants. Personally: I like an alcoholic beverage with my meal. Cannot carry in an establishment "where the primary source of income is the sale of alcoholic liquor by the glass" (which is interpreted to include all alcoholic beverages, I'd wager) and cannot carry if your BAC is over 0.02% - which is about a dose of cough syrup.

I have gone into marginal restaurants with bars and either stuck to "non-alcoholic" beer or locked it up in the car, first. But, I don't see the sense in going to a venue like Greektown and doing either.

So I no longer go to Greektown. Actually: I no longer go anywhere near the City of Detroit, except on business and when I've been given no alternative.
