The Recolonization of an American City


Day to day in the Re-colonization of an American City

Adding it up. Don’t ride your bike in Detroit You will be shot in the back and killed. Don’t go to Greektown–same result. Don’t be a young woman from Grosse Pointe, sitting with your friends in your parked car in Detroit as a man will arrive with a fully automatic weapon, fire; killing you and wounding your pals. Eight months later–no suspects. Don’t go to Wendy’s. Don’t buy gas. Don’t sit in your house unarmed. Keep your Glock 9 ready–and shoot them: “They weren’t ready for that 9 I had,” she chuckled. Make that twice–home invasions. Don’t go to the neighborhood block party as men with semi-auto weapons will shoot nearly all of you. Repeat: don’t go to the neighborhood block party–same result. Don’t walk with children as you will be shot in the back. Don’t drive in your car on the west side.

Don’t count on EMTs when your baby is struggling to breathe. They will deliberately refuse to come, sit in their bus a block away while the baby dies. And now for a third time, don’t go to the block party. Don’t let your 11 year old kill the 3 year old. Don’t be transgender. You will be shot. And on the weekend of August 8, 3 dead–26 (correction, 30) wounded. 8/14–don’t be in your home unarmed and when faced with an intruder, shoot first. Don’t go on dates with men you meet on social media sites. Don’t be a DTE worker and sit in your truck because you will get shot. O! Wait! Don’t be on Elmdale at 2:20 p.m. And, to repeat, don’t drive on the near west side as armed thugs fleeing the coppers will run into your car, and flee again. Don’t shoot hoops in the early evening on the once-so-desirable northwest side. If 2 armed men invade your home, jump through the window, get cut up, then refuse to talk to the coppers. Don’t ride on a city bus on one of the main streets in Detroit as you will get stabbed to death by a younger woman .

Don’t drive near Michigan and Livernois late at night as some fool is being chased by the coppers–fool throwing his stash out the window–and one or the other may kill you.

Don’t go to the bank at Warren and Woodmont without your CPL and when two fellas stick you up, shoot ‘em. Don’t marry a guy named Justice on the west side as he will shoot and kill you and disappear your two kids. Don’t go to Rouge Park with your new Fusion as an incompetent thief/carjacker will try to shoot you, and fail, try to steal your car, and fail because he forgets the parking brake, a good Samaritan intervenes but isn’t shot as “I only rob white people,” then the changeling runs from the coppers in his stolen Jeep, flips it a few times, and gets busted. Don’t get into a fender bender in northwest Detroit as the other driver will shoot and kill you.

To repeat: don’t buy gas in Detroit, especially not on Chalmers–you will be shot and killed.

Don’t be a convicted felon on probation, prohibited from owning or carrying a gun, and get caught carrying a gun and the coppers double down when they find your Facebook page, replete with you pointing guns at the camera. Do beg squatters to move into the vacant houses in northwest Detroit because ,”There’s nothing to do now and nowhere to go, so lighting homes on fire is the entertainment.” Don’t be William Rice walking home at 5:00 a.m. as someone will run over your head and kill you and leave and not be found.

Same day: don’t be on Woodward at Seward as you will shot by a drive-by. Don’t try to put air in your tires on E. Outer Drive in Detroit at 6:30 a.m. as a fellow with a tire iron will threaten you, but then use your piece to shoot him through your wind-shield with your well placed piece. Don’t be in a gang terrorizing northwest Detroit with murder, extortion, rape, etc., for 4 years as the feds will, finally, bust you.

Don’t be a carjacker at the gas station on Harper and Outer Drive as your victim will gut shoot you, empty his weapon at you and as you flee, you leave DNA blood all over–but the coppers are too busy to process DNA. Don’t film a rap video, displaying real guns in Detroit as the coppers will confront you–but you get a chance to shoot at them and run off.

Do be Detroit Councilwoman Alberta Tinsley-Talabi and collect thousands in bribes for favors, never got charged, and is now in the Michigan House of Representatives. Wait!

Don’t shoot your pal in the head, kill him on Steel, flee to Ohio street, then wimp out to the coppers. Don’t be new white-boy mayor Duggan and claim to fix the schools as after decades of state takeovers and other “fixes,” we learned that school reform without social and economic reform will never work. So we will call that a shell game for hope. Do be the pension lawyer who stole at least $150,000 from the city and helped lose the city $200 million, get a verdict to repay the $150,000, died, and a judge rules your family gets to keep the $150,000 as you were appealing. Don’t be a suburbanite chasing hookers in the city as there are undercover copper/hookers–who might be noticing the many murders? Don’t be the daughter of the young dad and painter who was murdered in a road rage killing on September 6, 2015, as the coppers have no suspects on November 7th despite a video of the Caddy driving off. Don’t be a 16 year old boy crossing the street around 9 p.m. near Greenfield and Eaton as you will be run over and dragged for 20 feet–killed. The police have video of the van that killed you, and a good photo of the driver, but they haven’t been able to find him for a month.

And don’t be the scrap yard owner, equally shocked, who got busted for buying hot scrap.

He is going to pull his Glock, shoot you five times, and kill you.

Again, don’t be city council man Charles Pugh who fled town when he was charged with molesting children and now is being charged with seeking to bribe and threatening the family of one of the boys he is charged with abusing. Don’t be a 17 year old girl at 6:30 a.m. waiting for a bus on 7 Mile as a guy will rape you on the street and none of the many, many passers-by will help you. Don’t be with your bicycle in a house on the 1600 block of Staple as one of the other six people in the house will shoot you in the head, and elsewhere. They’ll surrender to the coppers after a 4 hour standoff. Don’t be a dad in your fifties, the local handyman living at 17th and Forrest as when your house catches on fire you burn to death on the second floor because the three nearest fire stations are closed and the fire crews couldn’t get to you quickly. Don’t fabricate a story about being at a gas station, abducted, robbed at your ATM and then raped as the coppers are going to charge you with a felony for lying to them. Don’t try to set the bed bugs in you apartment on fire as you will cause a three alarm blaze engulfing the whole building on Outer Drive. Don’t be the three guys who shot at the cops executing a search warrant, wounding one cop on Orangelawn as, since you surrendered, you can bet on bad days ahead. Don’t be Timothy Terry because you shot and killed a man who was leaving the Home Depot and you seem to have vanished. Oh boy! Back to former City Council Chair Charles Pugh.

Don’t be the 4 year old boy being held by your Mom in her arms as four pit bulls will attack, drag you under a fence, and eat you to death on December 3rd. Don’t be two brothers driving on 8 Mile after you shared a syringe of heroin, rather than working on the West Bloomfield project you were hired to do, as the police will see you passed out in your moving truck and give CPR to save you. Don’t be 38-year-old Jermaine Cooper, a prime suspect in the murder of you ex, as you will be holed up in a small house on west side where a police negotiator will talk you out after a 7 hour stand-off, promising you will be “just fine.” Don’t be a school worker and member of the Detroit Federation of Teachers as every one of you was fired in 2012 and your union did nothing but sue for the right to continue to collect dues. Then, after an elected president, a radical, was effectively impeached and expelled from the union, your union bosses write to the national president, the habitual sellout Randi Weingarten, asking her to take over the Detroit local as it is such a mess, the indigenous people cannot handle it. She does. And do not be a Detroit school kid as your test scores will be the lowest in any large city in the USA. Don’t be the two robbers who approach a pizza delivery man and woman on Kentucky near Joy as, when you display your gun, one of the pizza people will shoot you.

Don’t be one of at least 4,000 Detroit residents who are so poor that your water is shut off and you are living off rainwater. More, 68,000 of about 200,000 water accounts are more than 60 days past due. Don’t be a pretty 24 year old woman in Detroit as your body was found at Fielding and Clarita–the prime suspect stole your car and emptied your ATM while wearing a skull mask.

Don’t be the 62 year old woman driving on the 8900 block of St Marys as you will be shot and killed.

Again, don’t buy gas in Detroit as this time the thief will shoot and kill you at Schoolcraft and Outer Drive. Don’t be on the once tony northwest block of Archdale as you will get in your car, smell smoke, and discover that the house next door is on fire. The police arrive and find a shot, burning, body in the upstairs bedroom in the early morning on December 23rd. Don’t be Chanell Berry and Ellen Garjo, 8 and 7, playing with your Christmas presents in the early evening of December 23rd as Chanell will be shot and killed and Ellen seriously wounded–probably by an ex-girlfriend firing several shots from the street. Don’t be the woman found on the east side on the same day as your dead body is partially eaten by animals. Don’t be the unarmed wanted man being chased by a Dearborn cop as he will shoot and kill you. Do be or don’t be 39-year-old woman living on Radnor who is in critical condition after she was stabbed early Wednesday while fighting off an attempted sexual assault inside her east side home. Don’t be, or do be, the 32 year old man walking on the east side as you will be hit by a stray bullet, but you will live! Don’t be the two men on Porter who were shot and wounded on New Year’s eve.
