Dead bodies in the streets is nothing new. I've seen them before. Depending on what is visible, they are easily mistaken for dead animals which are more common than most people realize.

I guess that living around Detroit just does that to people over time. It wasn't until I started driveing OTR, that I began to realize just how messed up things are.

To give everyone a great example of what a complete and total failure local government has become, I'm going to share two local stories; not from this year, month or even week.

But just within the last 12-hours.

• Detroit resident (Neighborhood Watch Volunteer, no less) calls police 10 times to report B&E @ local liguor store. Just how they got in is even more amazing.

• Car Thieves steal car in just 9-seconds.

I guess that referring to us as  just plain Americans is an anathema to them, but moving on.

Notice that they NEVER refer to any of those entities as being controlled by democrats?
