Detroit water doom: Mass incarcerations for protesters following shutoffs!

There has been too much bullshit spewed here for me to reply to everything.

#1 RadChick, congratulations to you if you really were paying that much over your monthly mortgage to try and pay it off in 10 years vs. 30 years. But you rolled the dice and came up craps. That is gambling. Is it the fault of Detroit or the bank that you did that instead of putting the extra money each month into a savings account in case you needed a rainy day fund? You signed your contract that stated you would pay X dollars each month for the next 30 years, regardless of any extra money you paid each month. Sorry, but when you could not pay that X dollar amount because of whatever reason, it was not the bank's fault.

#2 For the last 44 years I have been on this planet, I have watched the news (even when I was a child and my parents or grandparents had it on). And every year or so, I saw the fucking auto unions demanding more and more from the companies their employees worked for. Even though those "middle class workers" made much more than my parents did. And I also noticed in related news all of the turds of society that had moved there to leach off of the largess. I mean, it does not take rocket science to see you idiots fell for the progressive playbook before the word progressive had been rediscovered from history.

#3 It was obvious to even the casual (but honest) observer that Detroit was going to fall under the progressive schemes that were played. And it was obvious for well over a decade. Most of the smart folks got out as soon as the writing was on the wall. But, unfortunately, some of the turds realized it as well. I know, because I started noticing through conversations with new arrivals here in Georgia that more and more turds were moving here. I guess some of them saw that the free ride was coming to an end.

#4 It doesn't matter WHERE you live. In the great words of Brief, "Pay yo bills, pay yo bills, pay yo GD bills!" I have to pay my GD bills. And I know it. I agreed to such when I signed up for those services. And 60 days must be normal for much of the U.S., as mine will be cut off in the same amount of time if I don't pay mine.

#5 ThevoiceofDetroit sounds like some stooge wannabe union of citizens. As such, I will not blindly believe any sewage being reported from them. Sorry. Call me a racist or whatever worn out descriptor you feel like using. I just know from following things for most of my life how the real world works. And I have a pretty good B.S. radar.

#6 You talk of the multiculti paradise working together in Detroit. All I can find in the news is case after case of white people getting beat down when they accidentally hit a black kid that was standing in the street. And black thugs getting shot when they kick in the door of a black person inside their own home. And of women getting raped. And of murder after murder. And an insane amount of these crimes are perpetrated by the black thugs.

So, RadChick, kiss my motherfucking ass. Y'all were idiots for the progressives for 60 years up there. And because of that, y'all allowed all of the blue golems to finish wrecking a once shining beacon of the U.S.

And the sad thing is that all of these progressive cities (you know, the modern ones with multicultural ideals and all) like Detroit, Chicago, NYC, LA, San Fransicko, et all will drag the whole nation down. But I know how to survive. I and my like minded family, friends, and acquaintances will make do and keep on living and thriving. How about you and your libtard buddies? I wouldn't place any money on you...

Also forgot to mention , a member could pin this if they felt so inclined

Detroit has become a Rats Nest. Alot of Criminals filter over the border and cause problems in our Canadian Cities.

Nobody will go to Detroit to shop anymore and risk getting mugged or beaten or raped or murdered.

They should slam the boarder closed and only allow in the Trucks and Truckers whom are moving the Goods back and forth cause the rest of what comes over from the States is just Vile Dirty Rats looking to take and steal what they can.

Fuck Detroit. Its a cess pool now.

the hurt is going to get worse for Detroit's water dept. The people being shut off have had PLENTY of time to pay their bills, monrhs and months of not paying, and now complaining of being shut off.

I lived about a mile from the correctional facility, it was idle, although it was maintained and kept in shape. Some of you on GLP might remember the OP a while back that rebuilt engines for the underground gov't facilty? That facility is about a mile and a half away from the jail site....hmmmm?!

I used to play street hockey in the parking lot accross the street from that location, I know it well, have a buddy with DHS , gave me some insight on that place, can't share it here though.

Well ? You're not going to believe this ? A Fox News station has responded to my inquiry on this matter and I guess maybe there's a chance this could get national attention

I will hope and pray maybe the people can get 5 seconds of air time on this matter

What next stages?

The systematic removal of undesirables in prescribed order:

Firstly by self-determination through discomfort created by the state.

Secondly, by force through the apparatus of the state.

Thirdly, by any means necessary.

As I said before, We live near Detroit and this news got me scared enough to take out a loan to pay our bills up to date. So maybe it worked on us....we heard the message! Hopefully we can buckle down and pay the loan off soon. I wish eveyone had this option. We all have to pay our way if we can.

So how long should you get water you won't pay for? 60 days? 90 days? Why should you have to pay for water at all since you are special? Why can't you assault or threaten a utility worker for doing his job?
