1. I couldn’t watch too much, depressing.
   Just goes to show, blacks and unions can fuck up a wet dream.

2. I used to go to Detroit in the 1970’s, great city. This is a view of America under socialism. This next election is the most important in recent history. It will decide the fate of America.

3. Who knew- electing greedy, corrupt, petty, vindictive democrat politicians could have such dire consequences?

4. Once those white planning guys got thrown out on their asses and were replaced with nubians, it was just a matter of time.

5. Forced myself to watch,Now I need some funnies.

6. the only building still in use, as originally planned, is the old Ford world headquarters building in dearbornistan

7. The fate of Detroit is sealed, regardless of the election.

8. I think so, too. Every country has a shithole and Detroit is ours. We will never end wars, famine, illness, or Detroit.

9. Due to our size, we’ve been blessed with numerous shitholes and all are run by the Dems. Whatta talent!

10. I still go to Detroit for business. There was this bar in the DMZ of Detroit called ‘Honest Johns’. Everything around this bar was torched or leveled. You literally had to run from your parked car to the door of the bar because the neighborhood was major gangland. Great jukebox! The owner was a super guy, he’d host all these neighborhood events for the kids and even giving away Turkeys for Thanksgiving. Always doing something to help the people. But alas… he eventually moved the bar, or sold it. I stopped going because the area was just too bad, and at that time Carjacking was on a major rise. Some good times there! Watching the RedWings playoffs with clients, and sometimes at closing the owner would bring out the Nerf Guns and we’d have a war with the other customers that were still hanging. When leaving the bar, the owner would walk the women to their car. I thought that was super nice. Bless you, Mr. Honest Johns. You are a cool dude. Love that Jukebox!

11. Detroit is a city run by Democrats.
    Indianapolis is a city run by Republicans.

    You do the math. Check the numbers.

12. Don’t have time to watch the whole thing right now, but it’s depressing as hell.
    Also, seeing what’s happened to some of the beautiful, old architecture is heartbreaking.
