Riot Breaks Out At Housing Assistance Event In Metro Detroit
CBS Detroit ^ | January 12, 2013 12:50 PM | staff

Posted on 01/14/2013 4:14:18 AM PST by tobyhill

An event designed to help assist Michigan families with housing expenses turned into a chaotic scene after there was a mad rush to collect Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers.

The incident happened Saturday morning at the Wayne County Family Health Services Center on Eureka Road, between Beech Daly and Inkster roads in Taylor — where thousands of people were waiting to get housing vouchers, many who had been waiting outside in the cold since the night before.

Reports say the amount of people who showed up looking for assistance heavily outweighed the number of vouchers to be distributed. As the night was fading away and the sun started to shine, the crowd continued to grow as more and more people arrived. According to reports, only 1,000 vouchers were available for distribution. An estimated 3,000 to 4,000 people were in attendance.

Being familiar with Taylor, I’ll say it’s likely that a good number of white trash were mixed in.

Well suprize, surprize, surprize. When there is something for free and there isn’t enough to go around, this is what happens in those impoverised cities.

Detroit USED TO BE a nice city, not anymore.

Here is an example of Socialism's impact in Britain

Dispels the racial aspect of dependency.

It was a really good movie - but gritty.

“When there is something for free and there isn’t enough to go around, this is what happens in those impoverised cities.”

This is just a microcosm of what will happen in the future when other entitlement programs run out. That's why they want your guns, so when people come for what YOU have, you will not be able to defend it or your self......................does that sound paranoid? I'm not so sure any more.

Not paranoia, but reality.

When the ebt cards run dry, the regime will turn those people on those who have prepared. Look up some recent speeches of Van Jones. Even though he was fired from the white hut, he is still close to obama.

Another twist to all this, while the regime is working to disarm us, they are enabling the zetas and sinoloa cartel to operate freely in our country. And they are armed up with a lot heavier weapons than a bushmaster .223.

Not Paranoid at all.

Sooner or later Obama financial crisis will boil over.
Money will be hyper-inflated and worthless, and the entitlement checks will not amout to enough to buy a loaf of bread. When this happens we had better have guns or those with guns will take from us.

When guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns.

I keep thinking about what happened in South Africa. Taking land and productive farms away from white Africaners that were feeding the nation and producing an exportable national product and giving the land to people who have no idea how to run it.

You’re not paranoid, but if this is a new realization to anyone, you’re late to the party.

So no one had a pic of the riot that they could have used. All they have is some trash littering the area after the event.

Really? Do they really think we buy that?
