Again more bad headlines for the Detroit area. Yesterday, the News ran a story about a guy ("homeless") who was found at the bottom of an elevator shaft trapped in like 3 feet of water... obviously dead. They ran the photo on the front page.
Apparently both the homeless dudes living in the warehouse and the (is it "splunkers?") [short for idiots] playing hockey knew about the body and didn't report it.
It was in the water for like a month.
And the reporter who was eventually contacted tried to call 911 and it took a whole day to get the dead guy out.
Pretty typical...
Lot's of shit wrong:
1. The abandoned ass building was there in the first place not secure... so homeless dudes and hockey dickheads can "explore" there.
2. That in a major city you have hockey arena sized abandoned buildings everywhere.
3. Of course the fucked up economy contributing to the homeless problem.
Oh, compounding the issue the News posted a large banner at the top of the front page broadcasting a Red Wing's (hockey again) extremely insane (73 million) contract). In that you get mixed messages:
A. American's ass backwards celebrity worship. (A culture that would pay a guy from Sweden or whatever 73 mill) to skate around and hit a puck... assholes like us that go to hockey games and subsidize and create the environment that contributes to big huge salaries.
B. Meanwhile pointing out: "hey we have this homeless adandoned building culture in Detroit that something should be done about..." blah blah...
A display of our fascination with money and the cult of celebrity and the worst elements of our in-humanity all on the same page.
Talk about dis-information.
I don't think I'm ever going to another sports game in this town: certainly not the Red Wings, The Pistons, or The Lions (maybe the Tigers)... not until they start paying these dickheads less, redistributing their money so we can build a few homeless shelters (ha!!!) or use that 73 million to bring a goddamn business here (double ha!!) so we DON'T have to have abandoned buildings anymore.
And please whoever (some asshole billionaire) owns this place just lock it up, hire some security guards and get the homeless people out of there. AND really get the stupid retarded fucking mindless fucking tourist asshole meta ironic but really not making any kind of comment that's useful about the decay of society fucking suburban fucking spray painting hockey playing fucking honkies OUT of there once and for all.
