Complete Headline: Detroit council supports calls for federal investigation of possible civil rights charges against George Zimmerman

Cannot excerpt the Detroit Free Press because it is a Gannett publication, but here is a clickable link to the article

The headline pretty well gives the gist of the story.

I want to see George Zimmerman send out a press release calling for an investigation of the Detroit City Council’s running of the city.

Ha! That would be rich!

Does anyone really care what a bunch of political hacks from a third-rate bankrupt city think?

The Detwoit CC should call for a boycott on FL.

Pray for America to Wake Up

This is what democrat rule for 50 years does to a city. coming to the rest of America soon , 1 party rule once they pass the Amnesty bill. Call the Congress tell them no immigration related bill must come out of the House as it will be merged with the Senate Amnesty bill.

This is what democrat rule for 50 years does to a city. Detroit = democrat rule. Shanghai = China city where they embrace capitalism

Yup....the end result of one party rule, high taxes, out of control spending, and public sector unions.

That looks like the background for the WALKING DEAD tv show.

I was there last summer.

It is THAT worse. Even more so.

Some streets are piled with trash. Even a boat!

I hope the amorous duo had a security detail with them lest they end up like Newsome and Christian.

Hover over the home values for some sadness:

If you read the article, one of the other council members said they needed to address the black on black crime in their own city.

It appears at least one of them does not have their head completely shoved up their rear end.

As a conservative Republican who just happens to live in a big city (LA) I know what part of the problem is. There is an ENORMOUS concentration of Democrats in many of these cities. Many big cities are strictly one party. There is an unholy alliance between the public service unions and the Democrat Party. Republican politicians no longer compete in many of these big cities. LA used to have at least some Republican strength. It used to have GOP mayors, GOP police chiefs, at least some GOP city councilmen. But no more. The city is strictly one party. When you vote in municipal elections your choices are limited only to Democrats. It’s like voting in the former Soviet Union. In many ways this is truly a shame. But one party control of our big cities is ruining them. And this is nothing to celebrate.

What makes the Detroit City Counsil think they have any business sticking their noses in Florida’s business? Or is this just a distraction from their own mess?

Jeez, they should try to raise more taxes for their citizens. I guess they want the citizens (what is left of them) to boycott Florida, like the Rolling Stoned MORONS (aka Rolling Stones) is doing...

Think it would be a good idea to have a thread just for pictures like those shown for Detroit? There are plenty of streets right here in Pittsburgh that look identical to them.

You just can't make this stuff up!

With Detroit in bankruptcy, the council no longer has any authority to do much, so they amuse themselves by throwing feces. Like any bored monkey.

“Think it would be a good idea to have a thread just for pictures like those shown for Detroit?”

Works for me. Maybe it could be entitled: “What Liberal Cities Look Like When They Run Out Of Other People's Money”.
