Detroit's approach to crime......... fine the victim!!

Y'all remember when Rudy Giuliani became mayor of New York City.... one of the most crime infested cities in the country? He decided that the way to reduce crime was to start with the basics. So he banned aggressive panhandling, took the 'windshield washing' thugs off of the street corners. And then he slowly moved up the crime ladder to the more serious crimes.

After his two terms were up, he left a shining example of how safe a huge metropolitan city could be.... for it's citizens and it's tourists.

Flash forward to 2012 in Detroit Michigan.... the city that looks like the Japanese bombed us instead of vice versa. The Detroit leaders and police department have figured out how to solve all of the automobile break-ins and thefts in their fair city.

They are banning parking on the streets.. Yep, Pilgrims, if a law abiding citizen parks his car in a 'high crime' area -- the police will have the car towed away and the owner cited.

Doesn't that just make ya' swell up with pride and confidence your Police Department, Detroit?

What's next - arresting people on the street with cash in their billfold?
