Weekend shootings kill 6, wound 23
Nope, not Baghdad or Tibet, or even Detroit. This weekend it's the idiots in Chicago who have nothing better to do that shoot each other. I read that last summer, the My Kind of Town city had 23 shootings every weekend. Not my kind, I'll tell you. And the headline just below it? More felons allowed to enlist in Army, Marines. I guess they figure they need more people from Chicago and Detroit to serve. I can remember when having a misdemeanor meant having problems getting in - although that was the Air Force, which coincidently perhaps, was just blamed for not doing its fair share in Iraq - as if they can decide when and where to protect the USofA on their own??
And on a related issue, it seems like Michigan finally has an industry where, unlike the automotive industry, has more customers than they know what to do with. It's nice to know that once again Michigan is in the top ten rate for violent crimes and incarceration rates. And considering that half the state is woods, that's saying something.
