I Live In The City of the Future. Welcome To Pre Armageddon

I live in Flint MI. now renamed by the public "Murdertown, U.S.A" or "Little Baghdad"
It is a war zone here
*Population: 102,000
*Police on duty at any given time: 6
*The police station is only open from 2pm-5-pm, closed holidays, weekends and evenings.
*It takes police anywhere from 8hrs to 4 days to respond to your 911 call... and your lucky to get a response at all.
*The murder rate here is worse than those in Newark and St. Louis and New Orleans. It’s even worse than Baghdad’s.
*Flint is so broke that the city can not even afford simple basic safety.
*If you live here you need to be in post Armageddon survival mode at all times, or fall prey to the statistics that will be posted for the 2011 year.

It is so bad, that a reporter for the New York Times came here to do a report on the situation in Flint
.
Here is what he wrote about his experience.
From the article:
A sign taped to the entrance of police headquarters says it all: “Closed weekends and holidays.” Every weekday, the doors are locked at dusk.

It’s not that the cops here are scared; it’s just that they’re outmanned, outgunned and flat broke.

After the door is unlocked and I enter police headquarters, it is easy to see why. There are only six patrolmen on duty for a Saturday night. So broke is Flint that the city laid off two-thirds of its police force in the last three years. The front desk looks like a dusty museum piece.

We leave headquarters and head out into the night. Howe turns up the heat in his Chevy cruiser and switches on the computer.

“That’s something,” I say hopefully. “Some squad cars in Detroit don’t even have computers.”

“Hold on a sec,” he says. “Let it warm up.”

When it does, I see that there are more than 12 runs stacked up, including a kidnapping call that is more than six hours old. A home-invader call is two hours old. A “man with a gun” call is 90-minutes old.

“Sometimes, we don’t get to a call for two days,” he says. Last fall, an elderly couple called after being held up at gunpoint in their driveway. The police arrived on the scene five hours later.

a collapsing economy, highest unemployment of all time, all time high home foreclosures, people here are left in depression and desperation on how to survive. This has thrown this city into a state of chaos and survival.





Coming to your town soon.. courtesy of the American Government

Thanks for the look into the future NiNzrez. Many more cities and small towns will be joining you shortly.

I was just thinking that wth! we have no clue here in Europe what you guys are going through, its sounds terrible

I say corporate fascists control both levers of the voting booths in this country. The Bush crime family was/is not progressive and are heaped in utter bullshit and greed.

All your little heroes on the "right" are as tainted as those on the left.

NiN,...time to let go and find somewhere new.


Z

everything is going according to plan

israel keeps getting american dollars while america rots

america is being looted by a certain race and most people on GLP think Israel is oh so wonderful

I no longer fell sorry about violence in any city that has very strict gun control laws, the people decided to give up their right for self defence long ago.

Okay I'm gonna say it

Fuck god

and the gold he fuckn rode in on.


Stop giving your Power away People.



!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just me who read this thread and thought it was bullshit op was making up?

How can this be real, what the hell

Thank you for your thread OP...it is heartbreaking.

I am terribly afraid the above post may come true.

Lots of people are being made homeless and destitute everyday by the never-ending storms, floods & tornadoes. Everyday more destroyed towns and people left standing in the rubble with nothing, some just the clothes on their backs.

On TV ,they ALWAYS have someone in the destroyed area saying "we will start all over again." Really, someone tell me how elderly folks who have lost every worldly possession "start over? " I'd really like to know.

Most people do not have flood insurance, so when everything is gone, it's gone. There was a woman about 70 looking at her flooded home on tv tonight. What happens to all these people ? There aren't jobs for the young healthy males, where is an elderly sick person going to go ?

Other places are getting their property taxes raised so high 100% I heard in one case, that people are going to be taxed out of their homes (if they are blessed to have one) into homelessness.

What do you do if you are elderly and sick and end up homeless ?



Sorry for the little rant Op, things I was thinking watching all the devastation from the floods and tornados on the news tonight.

I keep thing about the movies "They Live" and "Children of Men," and all the homeless.

The pure stupidity of the US citizens! Blacks are only 15% of the population yet we've LET them destroy all of our cities because of some idiotic "GUILT" from the past that our generation had NOTHING to do with. No other race in this country has done this to us. Other races have all contributed to society, NOT destroyed everything they touch.

We've let this happen. And have even contributed to it. Period!

edit to say I don't give a crap what name you call me!

Congrats OP! You've made it on Before It's News.

i feel very deeply for the elderly who live here that are very limited on what they can do
This is how Michigan treats their elderly :(
