thanks

"after the last police car left, a small group of men who were “confused and upset because they were kicked out of the only place they had to go” lifted up the bars of an adjacent clothing store and broke the windows. From this point of origin, further reports of vandalism diffused. Looting and fires spread through the Northwest side of Detroit, then crossed over to the East Side."

lol, yep, that makes sense

I went down to 12th and Clairmount today to the park, the sclupture park where it all started and went down. Sat in the park, smoked a blunt and besides all the broken glass and the crap on the ground it's the same as the time's that I have been there before, it's a nice park. The tables have chess/checker boards on them and the sclupture looks good. I can just picture it all going down. When you drive down the streets in the area you can still see the scars in some places. 1/2 blocks with no houses. Oh s*** I just remembered that's most of our city...Lil' Beruit...
