Detroit Bankruptcy Imminent! 25 Shootings in 48 hours in anti-gun NYC!
By Reginald Kaigler (DEMCAD)
25 shootings in 48 hours in anti-gun NYC. Six people are dead. One guy shot an 11 year old girl (Tayloni Mazyck) and now she's paralyzed from the neck down. But hey, at least has plenty of gun laws forbiding law abiding citizens from carrying firearms. Now the city can be terrified by the low life scum. And who can forget the shootings in anti-gun Chicago over Memorial Day weekend. Criminals don't care about laws.

In Detroit, the Emergency Manager Kevin Orr maybe conceding to the fact that bankruptcy maybe unavoidable. He continues to desperately seek a solution to this financial mess. According to the Wall Street Journal, Mr. Orr is organizing a meeting with creditors and unions in June to work out a deal to avoid bankruptcy.
Via The WSJ
"Kevyn Orr, appointed by Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder in March to take control of the long-struggling city, plans to use the meeting to present a detailed restructuring plan for Detroit's liabilities, which he says total about $17 billion...
Over the coming weeks, Mr. Orr is expected to ask the city's largest unions, pension funds, creditors and bondholders for concessions. It is unclear whether such moves could stave off bankruptcy - or pave the way for it by serving as a template for a court-supervised reorganization.
But with a declining population, shrinking tax revenue base, an already bare-bones police force and a startling high unemployment in Motor City, I don't see how they can avoid a bankruptcy.
Simply put, it's going to be the largest municipality bankruptcy in America history.

Police Warn "Enter Detroit At Your Own Risk!"
By Reginald Kaigler (DEMCAD)
“Enter At Your Own Risk” is what the Detroit Police union is telling visitors about the city of Detroit. The Detroit Police Officer Association (DPOA) held a political rally warning Michiganders that the city is becoming more dangerous. The union warned that the department is "grossly understaffed", while the homicide rate continues to soar. Detroit Police Officer Association (DPOA) Attorney Donato Ioriotold the press that the police force is shrinking as more officers exit the city.
Enter At Your Own Risk: Police Union Says ‘War-Like’ Detroit Is Unsafe For Visitors
Frankly, I don't blame them. Many cops simply can't afford to work in Detroit. They pay is dropping, but the cost of living is raising.
I live 60 miles north of Detroit in a city that shares more than a few similarities with Motown. Like Detroit, my home town (Flint, Michigan) is a decaying industrial city littered with abandoned buildings, burnt out homes and a struggling economy. Both Flint and Detroit have extremely high crime rates. They are consistently ranked as the most violent cities in the country every year. In 2011, Flint was ranked the most dangerous city in America, even beating Detroit. Flint had the second-highest murder rate and the highest rates of aggravated assault, burglary and arson in the country.

The state police added detectives to help Flint police officers, but the problem seems to be bigger that staffing. It's bigger than manpower. I travel to Detroit quite often to visit family members. I've brought family members to Belle Isle, Greektown, The Detroit Zoo (in Royal Oak), The Detroit Institute of Arts. I've even toured the neighbors where I grew up (in Detroit) and other locales. So unlike most commentators bashing Detroit, I've been inside the city.
I've seen the good that the city has to offer. But when it comes to crime, I think Detroit is experiencing a social and moral breakdown. The government is corrupt to the core, the tax base can't support a decent education system, too many drug addicted zombies are willing to kill for almost nothing, too many young people have embraced a thug culture of degeneracy, criminals have become emboldened the citizens' fear and too many incompetent people are having too many children and not installing good values in the youth.
I have family in the Detroit suburbs and in the city who are afraid to enter many parts of the city. And some family members' fear of being out at night resembles Robert Neville fright in the 1971 classic film "The Omega Man."
So how can I respond to this threat? Should I avoid the city at all cost. I don't blame you if you decide to never visit. But I will walk a different path. I have family in Detroit and I already live in a dangerous city. My plan is to continue enjoying the jazz festivals that Detroit has to offer. I'm going to visit the Detroit Opera House and visit Mexicantown. I'll walk through Downtown Detroit the same way I walk through Flint: armed with my Glock 21 (45 ACP). I have a Concealed Pistol License and am I want to live as peacefully as I can. But I refuse to be a prisoner in my home.
I refuse to let the bad guys keep me away from Detroit. I will walk through Detroit with a great sense of awareness and learn to survive. Because as the United States declines economically and politically, millions will be too desperate, too drugged out or too spiritually drained to care about morality.
Whether you know it or not, Detroit is coming to a town near you.

Criminals Will Rob Anybody at Anytime
By Reginald Kaigler (DEMCAD)
Are you a retired police officer? Maybe you were a police chief? Well, who gives a damn! At least, that's the story in Detroit. Former Detroit Police Department Chief Stanley Knox was robbed at gunpoint while he mowing his lawn. I live 60 miles north in an equally depressed city called Flint, Michigan. Both Flint and Detroit are among the most violent cities in the country. And just so you know, I have a CPL (concealed pistol license) in the state of Michigan and I always carry (whenever legally possible. And yes, I carry while I mow my lawn.
What amazed me about this story is that Knox was unarmed and wearing a gold necklace. Now, I'm not saying that he deserved to get robbed, but he should have been smarter than that. I'm poor and never wear jewelry, but even I'm packing. This should be a warning for us all, watch your 6 O' clock. Criminals can strike at any time. it's getting so bad that i don't even want to shot my basketball with my .45 ACP. Have you ever tried doing a layup with a 45?
In Fresno, a man was arrested for turning a super soaker toy into a shotgun.I guess we have to be on the lookout for almost anything.

Not All Black Women Are Buying Into The Anti-GUN BS
Women Packing Heat: More Getting Concealed Pistol Licenses: MyFoxDETROIT.com

I can't believe my eyes. Women. hell, black women on TV talking about using guns to defend themselves. Too often, when I hear a black woman talking about guns, it's about how she doesn't like them. But these women showed up for Ladies Night at a Detroit gun range and spoke the truth.
"if they're going to be the target of an attack, they want to make sure that they have a good aim," reporter explained.
Fox2 featured interviews with the ladies during a "Legally Armed In Detroit" (L.A.I.D.) sponsored FREE Ladies Shooting Day.
The segment also featured National Rifle Association credentialed Firearms Trainer Rick Ector and a whole lot of common sense. It's good to see some black women arming themselves, because I'm so used to hearing stupid anti-gun talking points from my people. This made my day.
