Caution: picture of dead man on ice. In ice, actually.

This is why homes don't sell for $1 in Detroit
I don't know, this guy was already dead, and while it's sucky that no one cared, he was really past helping at that point.sven666 wrote:fuckinhell.. never seen anything like it, not even the most drugged-out kongo rebels are as indifferent to human life
By way of comparasion, I read an article in the Guardian the other week that interviewed a woman in Congo/Kongo who was raped in front of her family, after which her husband was killed, her son was forced to have sex with her at gunpoint and then was himself killed, her 13 year old daughters were stolen form her never to be seen again, and her house was burned down with her in it. That was just one of many story's I've read. Probably the most most upsetting thing I've ever read, IMO
ok so theyre worse, but still.. letting someone lay dead next to you for over a month is pretty fucking morbid, regardless if youre playing hockey or just trying to stay warm...
this is the supposedly developed world aswell, what possible harm could it have done to call the authorities to tell them someone had died inside?

It's fascinating how Detroit is so run down. It's in a country with one of the highest standards of living in the world, it hasn't been ravaged by war or anything, and less than a century ago was booming. It's so surreal.John845 wrote:Detroit doesn't even look like it belongs in the US. It's like a post apocalyptic city.
Websites like SeeDetroit.com are pretty interesting, especially ones that show what some of those buildings looked like back in the 1930's or whenever.

Popsicles for everyone. 
You'd think someone would've at least reported the finding to the police, but hey hockey comes first to them.
Also someone beat me to the Robocop reference, you can't bulldoze the city, for one day OCP will take it over and give us Robocop.

That reminds me of another gay-hate crime story that happened in San Francisco recently where a lady was literally dragged from her car and taken to a abandoned building and gang-raped by a bunch of low-lifes for several days on end because they thought that she was a lesbian. To live with that life-changing incident for the rest of your life and the fact that nothing can be un-done about it is horrifying. And the perps still haven't been caught as of yet.MX7 wrote:I don't know, this guy was already dead, and while it's sucky that no one cared, he was really past helping at that point.sven666 wrote:fuckinhell.. never seen anything like it, not even the most drugged-out kongo rebels are as indifferent to human life

I'd like to quote French officer Antoine Laumet de Lamoth, Sieur de Cadillac in a letter to his superiors in 1701 before establishing the first french forts, church and settlements in Detroit
on the banks of the Detroit river...
"...so many vast meadows where the freshness of these beautiful streams keep the grass always green. These same meadows are fringed with long and broad avenues of fruit trees which have never felt the careful hand of the watchful gardener; and fruit trees, young and old, droop under the weight and multitude of their fruit, and bend their branches towards the fertile soil which has produced them.... Under these vast avenues you may see assembling in hundreds the shy stag and the timid hind with bounding roebuck, to pick up eagerly the apples and plums with which the ground is paved....The golden pheasant, the quail, the partridge, the woodcock, the teeming turtle-dove, swarm in the woods and cover the open country intersected and broken by groves of full-grown forest trees - groves forming a charming prospect which of itself might sweeten the melancholy tedium of solitude."
