It is pretty much all teenage gang members (both victims and shooters). The numbers are mind numbing but the reality is that unless you are a black male under 25, an active gang member, and lives on the south and west sides.... the shootings might as well be in Rwanda.
Really??? So, what is this, some kind of an explanation to make it okay?? I'm confused.
I was stationed in SE Michigan for a while in the late 90's. One day I had to drive down through east Detroit for a part for my boat. I got about 75% of the way there and realized that I still had my .44 mag under the passenger's seat. Had I been pulled over, I'd probably still be in jail to this day. But, I wasn't pulled over.
I went about my business (picking up a part for my boat), and went back up to Harrison Township along Lake St. Claire where my boat was. After working on my boat for a while I came back to my Blazer...only to find two (2) 9mm bullet holes in the tailgate. One of them went through my back seat and I found the bullet under the carpet on the floor under the passenger's seat. Must have happened when I was inside the boat place down in Detroit.
Ummm...I'm pretty sure I wasn't in...Rwanda!
I was born and raised in Harrison Twp, MI and I still live in the area.
Detroit is not as bad as it used to be and it’s certainly not as bad as Chicago, although there was a few shootings in the D over the weekend.

BUT the people of Chicago should outlaw those who govern the City
