    People [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1hhJ_49leBw ]need to see the video of the devastation of Detroit by the very funny Steven Crowder[/url]. Apparently, there have been bear sightings in the city limits.

    “Detroit is the poster boy for government handouts.”

    “A sad fact is that a Detroit student has better odds of ending up in jail than graduating high school.”

    “Detroit has been the perfect laboratory for leftist principles for the past 50 years.”
