DETROIT (AP) -- Abandoned and neglected parts of Detroit are quickly becoming dumping grounds for the bodies of murder victims. And authorities acknowledge there's little they can do. At least a dozen bodies have turned up in 12 months, many of them purposely hidden or discarded in alleys, fields and vacant houses or garages. Seven of the dead are believed to have been slain outside Detroit and then dumped within the city.

If the federal government wants to get involved in every aspect of our well being why in hell is Detroit not being bulldozed?

[nascarnation]

Much of Detroit HAS been bulldozed.

Much of Detroit HAS been bulldozed.

And most of what's left should be.

The Wire had vacant houses in Ballmer (Baltimore) being used for the same purpose.

Yet another example of the end result of the Welfare State. A city that literally is being bulldozed with the remaining buildings being used as dumping grounds for murders or other crimes. Its a complete, total breakdown of law and order and society. It is the end result of letting people sit on their asses with their hands out, collecting a check to simply exist. Society breaks down and gets bulldozed, crime becomes the norm. No one feels any need to do something about it other than whine and cry that someone ELSE should do something about it and hand them more money.

There is a photographer on Instagram who gets into the roughest parts of Detroit and takes photos. The city is becoming gritty “country.”. It’s ugly and somehow beautiful the way nature is taking back the city men abandoned. Above all, it’s shocking tht this is part of America.

If you are on Instagram, his name is TonyDetroit. Worth a look. His photos are amazing. He says “there are only 6000 people in downtown Detroit and I am one of them.”

Thank you, LBJ and your “Great Society”...the destruction of the black family.

Perhaps Detroit can work out a deal with Chicago. I hear they are running out of space for all the murdered bodies in the Windy City.

[Disambiguator]

It seems appropriate, in a grim sort of way.

Dead residents in a dead city.

[philled]

kind of like the photos of Chernobyl.

Back in the old days the mobsters used to bring the bodies here to the sticks for disposal but gas prices are hitting us all.
