In this video from Detroit, MI, a neighborhood gang repeatedly takes over a corner convenience station, scaring the clerks into quitting their jobs and leaving the store so that they can proceed to hang out in their new “turf”.
The owner calls the police, but the teens just get up and leave when they arrive and then come back when they leave. And then cause more damage to the place.
Here is the racket: The Detroit PD says they cannot put an officer there all day, which I understand, but they recommend that the owner hire and off-duty officer, at full union wages, to patrol the place.
I’m sorry, what? If I have video of these punks fucking up my store and scaring away my customers, aren’t they arrestable? Can I not then get a protection order against the individuals as well as one for their “gang” so that if they return they are breaking the order? Which would then make them a threat, so that I could then use force to deter/remove them?
No? I have to hire an off-duty officer?
OK, fuck that. I’m calling the A-Team. You can come pick up the corpses at the end of the day.
Yup.
The station will either close, or the owner will man up and work the station himself while armed.
These punks leave when someone with a gun shows up.
Simple.
This crap is why Detroit is becoming a wasteland. The inmates there keep electing racebaiters that will not deal with criminal behavior.
Bad idea. You ever see the A-Team kill somebody with a gun or did they just shoot 30,000,000 rounds every episode kicking up dirt? 😉 I seem to remember the latter!
You are correct, Tango. But they did discover how to make 45ACP projectiles bounce off of tin garbage can lids. So they got that going for them.
OK then, I’m calling the B-Team. They not only hit what they’re aiming at, but instead of the bad guy going to jail, they go to the morgue. But they don’t have those magical garbage can lids.
The only person to ever get shot on the A-Team was B A Baracus, who was shot in the ass by Murdock.
They probably can’t fly a tank either. And Detroit wonders why they have lost 50% of their population…
