The same place was where two others were robbed but didn’t die and this one was robbed and killed.

Detroit — A city crew on Thursday boarded up a westside abandoned house that was used by criminals this week to lure three pizza delivery drivers into ambush robberies, one of whom was reportedly killed when he confronted his attacker.

The vacant house at 16557 Lenore Street in Detroit is the site of three robberies since Saturday, with the most recent incident ending in the shooting death Tuesday of 62-year-old Patrick Higgins, said Cmdr. Michael McGinnis, head of the Detroit Police Major Crimes Section.

McGinnis did not identify where the drivers worked, but he said employees from three different companies were lured to the vacant house near McNichols and Telegraph. When the drivers arrived, they were robbed, McGinnis said.

As I recalled on FR last week, I was a pizza delivery guy for an independent place inside Detroit in the late 1960s. The owner’s mother from Italy made the sauce every day.

The job opening came because the guy before me was held up by two guys one night. He remembered the cold feeling of the steel against his throat. He quit and I got the job.

That has to be about the most desperate and stupid crime ahead of bank robbery. How much cash could a delivery guy be carrying? With a bank, there will be cash, but the clearance rate is very high. With this - there is little or no money. WTF? Senselessness should be an explicitly aggravating factor in sentencing.

Rule 1. Don’t deliver to abandoned houses.

Rule 2. Conceal carry.

Rule 3. Have backup.

This is why those neighborhoods get “redlined.” I’d redline the hell out of that ghetto, and when its denizens complained about not being able to get pizza anymore, and that it was “racist”, I’d tell them to shove their phony “racism” claims up their a**es. If they want to be nothing but criminals, then they should expect to have no restaurants and no stores, and should be prepared for the police to shadow them everywhere they go.

THAT is the type of life they’ve earned.

Reminds me of what prosecuters called, the “Thrill Killings” of two pizza delivery guys, young guys, back in 1997 in Hardyston (Sussex County), NJ. Giorgio, 25, was the owner of the pizza place and Jeremy, 22, was an employee, both were hard working wonderful young men. Jeremy had 4 or 5 jobs, a great kid, he lived right across the street from the pizza place. I lived in an apartment complex behind where the pizza place was, in a strip mall. My son was 14 at the time and friends with both guys. He’d ride his bike up to the pizza place and Giorgio and Jeremy would kabitz with him. He was devastated that they were both murdered by two useless pieces of sh*t. The one said he did it for the thrill of it, hence the media title for the killings. The younger killer even knew the one victim, Jeremy.

Also, about a month after the killings, Whorealdo had the still in shock parents of Giorgio, the owner, on his afternoon show. He kept at them with the usual stupid questions of ‘how does it feel’ that your son was murdered. The poor mother couldn’t take it and walked off the show in tears. I’ve despised Whorealdo ever since and they never should have agreed to go on his show.

To this very day, Georgio’s parents, Angelo and Connie are running the pizza place for their son. Can’t believe it has been 25 years, I remember it all like yesterday.

3 drivers robbed at that same fake address.
I guess the workers don’t talk to each other.
You’d think word would get around, and they would just stop delivering to that house or to that neighborhood.

Little remembered brief role for a woman working for Matlock had the nice detective assistant Conrad McMasters abducted, disarmed and ready to be shot by the thugs in a house.
On her own the woman got a delivery outfit and rang the bell, trying to convince the thugs their address had the pizza ordered. Finally she said, opening the box, “Omigod there isn’t even a pizza in here. But there is this.” (Took out a .45 and aimed at the first guy’s face.)

“ Detroit police said they are searching for the suspects described as two black males, between the ages of 16 and 20 years old -- one suspect has short black hair.”

The same pattern day in and day out. The politicians and the media have met this ongoing slaughter with either silence or the deception that white males are the threat.

Detroit used to be the richest city in the US.
One day in 1960, the last Republican major has been defeated in surprise election.
Detroit has never been the same again!

The city borders are visible (probably even from space) - on one side of the road ruins, houses never painted for half century, or empty lots, on the other side, nice American suburbia houses (Well, I think it still are, I have not been there for long while.).
