Is this supposed to be a sympathy piece by the AP? I don't get it...

At risk of sounding harsh, the young people they're talking about in the article are a pathetic bunch of losers, probably made so by their equally pathetic bad parents!

Zero sympathy for those that refuse to help themselves and or demand others do for them !

Michigan is in for a massive era of hurt unlike they have ever seen. No pun intended but Detroit is a black hole that is sucking the states resources and good communities dry !

If the goobermint wants to do anything for that town it would scrape off the urban wasteland of abandoned structures and old factories and grow crops ! Turn the abandoned parts of that ville into a DOD USAF civil engineer’s, Navy Seabee’s and Army corp of engineer’s training ground with FEMA as to how to recover a city after it’s been nuked !

Nuked in this case being .....conventional destruction by society.

Just my opinion and how I would fix it if I had the keys for a day.

You know what? I was a poor white trash punk from North Philly...and I worked at EVERY lousy job I could find, put myself through trade schools, got better jobs, went to night college.

If a bonehead like me can do it, anyone can.

No sympathy from me for useless losers that parasite off the backs and labor of better folks.

Pretty harsh? Maybe - But I don’t give a rat’s tuckus. I’m not one to pull punches. They should quit whining, Cowboy the hell up, and make something better of their lives. As a matter of fact, them being “oppressed minorities” and all - they have MORE opportunity from Uncle Sugar than I could ever DREAM of getting (and didn’t - I did it on my own)- and still don’t get it.

This IS America after all...and it STILL is the land of opportunity - IF you want it.
