"Obviously, a racist gathering since there isn't a single white face in the crowd!!"
/stoop liberal condemnation of public gatherings of concerned AMERICAN citizens trying to improve their lives for themselves and their children

"Many of these people mistakenly thought they were registering for $3000 stimulus checks from the Obama administration"

This AP video synopsis says "several thousand" residents, the reporter says 15,000 lined up but other news reports say 65,000 people have shown up over the 'past few days' looking for their promised 'stimulus' handout of free money.

WHERE is all the money and FREE handouts promised to these people during the presidential campaign by OBAMA?? They are full of HOPE for a quick buck and want to CHANGE their lives!! What's the holdup?!

Do you think there is any voter's remorse yet in anyone in this group??

God help them all. No one was killed--THIS TIME. This is just the beginning...I have a feeling the 60s Watts Riots will be kid's play compared to some of the stuff that's coming if this president doesn't get things right before it's too late! :-(

Counting down til commentators blaming this on George Bush in 3...2...1...

Not a prayer. They will simply blame someone for stopping their Dear Leader from giving them a handout.

Obama’s America...soup lines, welfare lines...social justice. Discourage economic growth and job creation by the private sector lest the wrong people make money and emit too much CO2 in the process. Sad.

The remarkable thing is not that some people act like animals, that seems to be routine now, in most large cities.

The true miracle is that it has been accepted as normal that politicians and bureaucrats have the power and the duty (it seems), to give away taxpayer money, with the taxpayer having no say whatsoever in the process.

Revolution 3 due any day now?

The same type of thing happened in Milwaukee last year when FEMA was in town handing out loans and grants for people who had been displaced by flooding.

A huge mob of people descended on the social services office trying to get non-existent free money.

This sort of activity sounds like someone is really pushing the Cloward-Piven strategy.

Riots coming in Detroit? Hussein is licking his “martial law declaring” lips at the thought. And as all of the rioters will be black, the same rules of engagement currently in effect in Afghanistan will apply: law enforcement/national guard members will be expected to sacrifice themselves or their comrades rather than harm a “civilian” (Obama voter). And with news of rioting in Detroit, you can bet Chicago won’t be far behind. But good news could come from it all—riots in DC might force congress to adjourn and head for the hills! Our rights would be relatively safe for several days!

If they used as much energy looking for work, or banding together to form some kind of business, it would be much easier to obtain what some people call “cash”.

Its a lottery. An Obamottery. A chance, perchance, for free money!!

25% of the city is abandoned and nobody got a home?

Here is an idea. Most of the old abandoned homes are falling apart. But some might be repairable.... have these homeless go through the abandoned quarter and choose one and the city can GIVE it to them for free, plus a generous stimulus check to fix it up. Then all they have to do is find a job and pay property taxes.

yay

??

They don’t want to do that?

Detroit had a housing surplus and not enough people living in them once the great exodus took place. Thousands and thousands of homes were literally abandoned. The city couldn't give them away.

Now they need housing grants??

I don’t expect CNN, MSNBC or AP/Yahoo to report these things. Limbaugh had audio of a woman from this crowd aired on local TV or radio.

These “local” stories will be coming daily and the MSM won’t touch them. Many refused to touch the ACORN thing because they were local stories in San Diego, Baltimore, NYC etc

Detroit - it's how the rest of us are going to live if Democrats keep running things.

The dem way:

Line up, riot.

promises given, line up.

Promises broken, wait, wait , wait...

New promises, wait, wait, wait.

Redistribution of wealth... not enough.

broken promises, no jobs, no housing, disappointment.

wait, wait, wait....

riot.

Some of RoboCop was filmed in Dallas. I guess it was too dangerous to actually film it in Detroit.

Oh, it’s stimulating people all right—to RIOT.

The WH is playing with fire, and all those goombahs around YOU LIE!/HolyO {cue angelic chorus} are pouring gasoline on the situation.

And in the meantime, our precious members of the military are fighting ALONE and DYING without the WH’s support!! :*( :*(

Can anyone point to the exact moment when God turned His back on us?? :*(

The leeches always think they’re entitled to more... It’s always more, more, more and they’re entitled. When a leech feels “entitled” they never say thank you, they only grunt and want more.

Exactly my feeling. They might have actually stimulated something if they had given the money to business owners with the stipulation that they hire local people.

**********************************************************************

I have an even better idea. Remember the program “WPA”??? I don’t think that was such a bad idea. In South Charleston, West Virginia there is a football stadium called “Oaks Field” that still stands and was built by WPA!!! Really I think it was a excellent and men came out daily and were willing to work! (notice I said work) Well these people are homeless, so we restart WPA and let them build their own apartments (housing projects) condos, whatever. Maybe if they had to work, and build it for a change, it might make a difference. The key word here is work, and getting them to do it.

In and among the worthless, piece of shit parasites, there are some truly decent people, trapped by decades of Liberal rule. They dare not speak out against their overlords or prevailing culture for fear of being labeled as “Uncle Toms”, or in worse cases, being beaten to death with 2 x 4’s....
