Was that the one that spread to our overseas military bases in England and Australia?

I agree, I use to live just outside Detroit and its sickening how people keep voting in the same sobs into office. The suburbs are rotting too.
I heard the same guy I think was he a caller on the Tom Sullivan show by any chance?
Detroit was Beta Version 1.0 of LBJ’s Great Society.

everything in society depends on the basic law abiding citizens...everything....when they no longer exist, a decent society can not exist...
boy, now that was such a “fair” wikipedia article...”traditional southern bigotry”.??? oh really...
Damn! A wax car wash cost 9 cents back then?

That was with a 10 gallon minimum fill up.
Of course gas was only around $ .30 a gallon.
I grew up in Deetroit and left for good in 1976.
I went back in July 2009 for my mother’s funeral.
Driving on the freeway through the city on the way back to the airport I thought it looked like there had been heavy artillery bombardment in most of the areas I could see - burned out shells of houses, holes in roofs, decay, decay, decay...
The majority of the people who still live there are either too poor or too drug addled (or both) to get out. It wasn’t just white flight that depopulated that sh!thole - it was decent people flight.
This is what owebama and his commiecrats envision for the middle class in this county - total destruction.

This is "you didn't build that" taken to it's hateful conclusion - "so we're going to take it from you".
IMHO, Trayvon Martin was a test run, just to make sure the buttons still worked.
Drat! it’s s/b its.
“A while back, the local left was making a big stink about why there are no grocery stores left in the city. They shut up when it came out that the reason was, the “customers” (and employees) were stealing everything that wasn’t nailed down.”
Same thing in Newark NJ; they recently opened their first chain supermarket in decades. Many of the residents cross a bridge over the Passaic River to shop in my town, but now the bridge is closed for construction so they are in a temporary “food desert”. It is impossible to operate a business in Newark where “customers” have physical access to anything that will fit in a pocket.
“The area now is a virtual ruin. Much of Detroit didn’t leave it just moved about twenty miles west. The area that is now Auburn Hills and Rochester became the heart of this relocated urban center. The old urban core is now a rotten husk more spectacular in its ruined look but much like Kansas City, St Louis and I suppose Buffalo.”
Camden NJ is the same; a visit to the battleship New Jersey brings you through deserted, rundown neighborhoods similar to those of Detroit.
