It's a Peggy Johnson city:  "If I take care of him, he's gonna take care of me".

The immorality of entitlement: An endless and bottomless pit of takers… it’s theft from the producers, those that earn it through hard work.

Detroit councilwoman to Obama: We voted for you, now bail us out

City Council member JoAnn Watson said Tuesday the citizens support of Obama in last month’s election was enough reason for the president to bailout the struggling the city.

Wouldn't you just love to slap that woman ?

No, actually.

I can think of some touch-free alternatives though.

I understand.  I guess it depends how close you are to the situation too, I have to admit there are some folks that if they get within reaching distance of me...I imagine the act of wrapping my fingers around their demon throats and sqweazing...could prove very satisfying.

The declaration virtually assures that the state of Michigan will assume control of Detroit’s books, though Snyder was careful to say there is still a window of 10 days for city leaders to convince him otherwise.

Detroiters, however, responded by immediately breaking the window.

Thread winner for on the money prognistication!

Via Sipsey Street Irregulars comes this: Detroiters pledge

Councilman Kwame Kenyatta and a packed room of Detroiters warned today of an impending revolt against state intervention, urging residents to stock up on canned food and supplies.

“Even the Bloods in the hood fight for their territory,” Kenyatta said during a 20-minute monologue on the civil rights struggle at today’s city council meeting. “You are going to have to drag me out of here for me to leave.”

... One by one, Detroiters pledged to take to the streets once Gov. Rick Snyder appoints an emergency manager, which is expected Thursday or Friday. Others threatened to block the entrance of city hall.

“Save up and purchase food, canned goods and water because you are going to see a new civil rights movement,” pledged Marie Thornton, a former Detroit Public Schools Board member. “I won’t give up my right to vote. We are going to shut down freeways and we are going to disrupt the economic system.”

Added Valerie Glenn, a community activist: “Make sure you are prepared and you will survive.”

Protests so far have been nonviolent. Demonstrators slowed traffic to a few miles per hour on I-75 and I-94 in the past week. But that’s mild for what’s to come, some warned.

What about black Detroiters who aren’t prepared to fight?

“We have fought for everything we have; how do you sit on the sidelines?” Kenyatta asked.

Saw that in the Detroit News or something, well, it wouldn't
be a surprise to see that fly in Michigan.  Just let 'em go gov.
Do not provide any state assistance or monetary tax return;
provide nothing and pull all state associated entities out of
Detroit, just let 'em go.  - You may want to fence them in,
they're the live equivalent of The Walking Dead.

We are going to shut down freeways and we are going to disrupt the economic system.”

They have an economic system?

And a fence would do wonders, CO.

I don't know, riding down Telegraph road in an armored Humvee with a .50 cal turret could be kinda fun.  Specially giving all who would come out to greet me $10 worth of FMJ lead at 1200 rounds/minute.
