Would that this was an April Fools trick, but it’s not. There’s still more bad news from Detroit.
Detroit is a cesspool of corruption and is beyond credible efforts to save it from its inexorable slip into oblivion.
Given the massive budget shortfalls facing Democrat controlled cities around the country Detroit aka “Cesspool City” will be only the first of a string of failed cities plaguing America’s revival efforts.
The list of outrages coming from Cesspool City are the things horror movies are made of.
*Coleman Young’s twenty years in office which started and accelerated the “White Flight.”
*The election and reelection of Kwame Kilpatrick who eventually was convicted of corruption and draining City funds for his personal use.
*Former City Council President Monica Conyers who will be going to federal prison for extortion and bribe receiving fittingly involving a sludge removal company.
*A School Board President who has a tenuous relationship to written English and is a former Special Education student.
*A real estate market that features free or $1.00 homes that still can’t be moved.
*A Public School System that discovered at least 250 previously unrecognized phantom employees who could not materialize to personally sign for the first paycheck distribution last September.
*A Public School System that has the lowest performance levels of any city in the country.
Now comes the news that the FBI has uncovered a scheme that was able to defraud the Detroit Public School system of at least $57 million by diverting the money to private accounts.
Some of the parties that received the money stolen by former School’s Director of Risk Management Stephen Hill were his friends and/or family members of his assistant.
When Hill retired from Cesspool City he threw himself a $40,000 200 guest going away party.

....having lived in Atlanta, Houston, New Orleans, Baltimore and Washington, I have seen first hand what happens to a city when black Democrats legally seize power at the ballot box.
What Detroit needs most - bulldozers and bus tickets.
The biggest loon, Monica Conyers, is going to prison July 1.
One of the pictures above is Detroit. The other two are Sarajevo and beruit. Which one is which?
Enjoyed the Detroit pictures.
On the bright side Hollywood could use those buildings for the setting of a post-apocalyptic film.
“Enjoyed the Detroit pictures.

....yep...and I wonder if Detroit is a glimpse into the future of urban America.
Houston does not belong on that list.
Beruit
Detroit
Sarajevo
The chain-link fencing in the middle picture made it easy!
Worse than New Orleans?
Yeah, I know. I was short on time to surf for a better one. I also should have found a Sarajevo picture without the identifying cars in it.
“Hello, 911?...I’d like to report a situation in Detroit...Please send the fire department ASAP...What?...No, not THAT fire department...I mean the fire department that DELIVERS the fire....Please hurry!”
