man, I remember back in 05, I was riding through Southwest, going down on Livernois. I saw like 5 Mexicans beating on a couple. I honestly felt bad and wanted to help, but that would have been my ass too. The city is bad, innocent people get it too, sometimes worse than the ppl who deserve it. Anyone who lives in the D, or even travels has to be aware of the dangers. Being street smart can improve chances of survival. I grew up not too far from Brightmore in Rosedale Park, used to be nice, now is just as bad. I used to hang with some brothers from B'more.. Not trying to degrade the city anymore than it already is, just keeping it real. Detroit is fucked up, and a person has to be tough to survive.
