Detroit Real Time Ride-Along
You know how we hear that Detroit isn't so bad if you just get to know the city a bit? Also that our assessment of it being one giant crap hole where you might get raped, sliced and diced, shot to bits, or at least mugged (on a good day) is a total exaggeration? Well we decided to put our lives on the line by driving through Detroit, not just downtown, but real Detroit, to show just how awful a place it is.
This is an unedited video, because if we hear any liberal whining about "THIS IS EDITED," we'd have to hunt you down, kidnap and blindfold you, then drop you in the middle of Detroit. Edit that, wimp.
Notice how horrible this place is? Poverty everywhere. Homes in disrepair. Misery on the rise. Detroit is the result of liberal policies run amok. The rest of the USA will look just like Detroit if liberals like Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton have their way.
In case you're a crazy leftists and you're still moaning about this, here are our sources:
