Yesterday in Detroit.
"Two people, a male and female, were killed inside the car by two suspects who came up and opened fire, according to Police Chief James Craig.
The victims were seated inside the car when they were shot multiple times. The driver took off at a high rate of speed and the two sitting on the car fell off and were injured.
"Multiple shots were fired, probably 14 to 15 shots," Craig said, calling the shooting tragic and adding that he did not know of a motive yet.
In the incident happened at about 4 p.m. in the area of Hayes near Seymour, according to police.
The two people sitting on the hood of the car were injured when the car took of and hit a building across the street. They were not hit by gunfire, Craig said.
The two shooters, both armed black male suspects in their early 20s are at large, Craig said."

It's as clear as a bell! That shooting was a hit! Two shooters in hoodies, firing from two different angles at the car, killing the driver, a 20 year old male, and his 13 year old passenger, a young girl! What this young girl was doing in the passenger seat of this man's car could quite possibly reveal a lot about this case! But don't take my word on that!
People want change in most urban cities across america, and especially here in Detroit! Well all I’ve got to say is, “Its Too Late People!”
That too is just my personal opinion! When I say that things just may have gone too far for that. It is something I really feel!
Detroit's decades old message and act of consuming illicit drugs. The fact of an openly dumbed down educational system ruining young minds, and discouraging good teachers; and children or young adults, willfully committing acts of open murder and mayhem in the streets has already become sort of a creepy norm in Detroit!
Murder and shameless thuggery is thoroughly infused in the minds of our youth in Detroit! They live it, breathe it, listen to it in their music. See it in music videos and in their movies! This Nomadic sensibility is HERE to Stay! Like a kookaburra in your nice knitted sweater. It ain’t goin’ nowhere! So how’d we get to this place and state of mind in Detroit?

Well, its a long story, but in short. Detroit started to fall off the edge of the earth back in 1943 with its first all out race riot! Ah, didn’t know about that one, huh? And then there was of course the riot most of you reading this probably do remember, or at least heard about in 1967.
Not long before the 1967 riot, many of the auto plants in southeastern Michigan maintained this slew of quite regular, racially selective layoffs, and generational unemployment problems. My dad was one of its victims! Chrysler kept my dad laid off for many a year when I was a kid in the 1960's.
Thus for many blacks in Detroit, poverty, denial, and unemployment brought much mental anguish to many people in Detroit, black or white!

In growing up in Detroit, and working briefly in the auto industry myself as a younger man. Mainly, what I’ve seen is poverty and financial ruin becoming the downfall of many people here in southeastern Michigan. And that goes for people from all walks of life here!
Unemployment has for many a year has been the main source of destruction as many of the working poor's being able to carve out a means to live, and maintain one's self esteem!
I’ve noticed that since around 1981-82, despair and defeat had begun to make its mark on those who fought the good fight of "Work hard to Make a Living", but now days after all those years of doing so, can no longer try to keep afloat anymore.
For some, this despair began to trickling down to our kids! Suffering from want and being without. Some young boys sold drugs back in 1981-82. The new drug on the scene was Rock Cocaine. Coke that is cooked and converted into Crack!
Grown men were being sent up the river for selling, so the bright idea to get kids to sell it became popular, since they wouldn't get the jail time that the adult would if they got caught! So the advent of Young Boys Inc. came about! Young teenage black males selling Crack Cocaine) in order to gain something out of life.
Of course, along with break out debut of CRACK in 1981, and taking away thousands of poor folks' only means of living (ADC, Welfare, Food Stamps, etc), from some folks, who in some cases never really had much from the start, really had it bad!
The people who were really bilking the system were left on welfare rolls, but the ones who really needed it were yanked off it, and made to fend the best way they could. So after Detroit's up's and down's and bailing out of the auto industry, poor folks were left out of the mix. Pretty much like now. After 30 years, the wear and tare is starting to really beginning to take its toll! Its really really showing! On the city, and on the people!

In this battered economy, people just flat out don't have anything left inside! There are so many people living on the bare essentials of life, if they can even afford that!
A great lot of Detroiters are poor, hungry, desperate and deprived! But pride won't let someone who's worked hard all their lives beg or ask for food! For to do (in their mind) means they are asking for a handout! And a proud once UAW member would rather starve!
When I drive through some parts of Detroit, it is more than evident that “This is not my grandfather's Detroit anymore!” Hell, its not the Detroit that I remember either coming along, and growing up in!
Outside of its obvious protected areas in Mid-Town and Downtown, and the New Center areas, a good portion of Detroit’s poorer areas have largely become nomad territories or vacant lots, filled with burned out houses that no one in office (be it here in the city or in Lansing) really seems to care about anymore.
So in the meantime, "They" wait for those of us who live in those troubled areas to move, suffer through it, or die off, or kill ourselves off through murderous hits like this.

All the while this new Robo Cop style, New Detroit in waiting will continue to rebuild, expand and grow! The gentrificationing of Detroit will unceasingly press on. With or without us! Slowly, quietly and most certainly without anyone who isn’t on the same page as the slew of rich developers revamping and raising Detroit out of its almost 50 year Riot Scarred Ashes!
The developing of Mid-town along with the anticipation of city dwellers living within the outlying areas of Detroit, or living (or remaining) in the city are waiting patiently.
They are waiting for our interpersonal slaughter among black folk to finally take its toll. They're waiting for us to dwindle and fade away! This is more than clear!

Murderous acts like the one posted just shows where this city and its predatorily youth, and volatile adults is headed. Down the gentrification back room toilet!
And killings like these will go on, but only for a bit longer. That is until those who preyed on the innocent in Detroit have themselves begun to fade away, either byway of the mighty pen from a fast talking, bean counting unconcerned Governor, cutting even deeper into everybody's pockets.
Cuts so severe they'll leaving the poor and people of color out of the New Detroit Equation all together. But more diabolical than that. New Detroit's butterfly blossoming unto Yuppy Town will come about due in part by a slow painstaking demise done indirectly by our own blood soaked -- cracked out little hand!
Little by little, Detroit will crumble at the edges, all the way past 8 Mile Road, and before it all falls apart, the land and building developers will mend its edges, and build another parking structure. Fund another on point police department and Fire and rescue department. They'll build more Condos, and maybe even another Arena somewhere, just for the heck of it!

Right now, Detroit will continue to suffer from her deep seeded rot of the soul by way of age, time, decay and generational moral depravity! Regardless of who ends up running or actually governing Detroit in years to come. In the long run, only those who mean Detroit well will prosper and grow here!
The haunts from Detroit's past and from those who've passed on while trying to believe in Detroit will demand it! Those who intentionally killed Detroit will have to make peace with it, or it will never truly flourish -- in the long run!
Prettying up Detroit’s well to do areas is like painting over a big dirty grease spot on the kitchen wall. six coats of paint, and one day somewhere down the line, that grease stain is going to seep through all that lovely pastel paint o the wall and the Ugly will return once again!

But for now, all those wild and out of control children of poverty and blight and denial, who in their young short years learned to heartlessly murder humans as if playing a video game. You will one day soon eventually fall victim to your own wrongdoing.
So until we all begin to learn to purge ourselves from the evil that has come upon us, these senseless crimes and moral acts of homicide conducted by children and young adults will continue!
They are the product of generations of drug culture. Promiscuity, depravity and intemperance onto wanton sin, making them victims of total omission!
Until there is a change or a fading away of children and adults who murder senselessly! Those in control will go on and letting Detroit fall into ruin, and allow it to intentionally run amuck, but in doing so, only to rebuild it as it dies in the process, street by street; person to person. One to one! And all for the sake of progress!... Sigh!
