I'm from the Detroit area and spend a lot of time in the city. In the late 90s and early 2000's, I seen't some shit.
-Guy in a wheelchair with no legs having sex with a prostitute in the street. -A guy pulled a tooth out of his mouth and threw it at my car. -I saw a guy get shot in the stomach at a gas station over some sort of argument, -Countless people pooping in public. -A guy dressed up as a power ranger walking the streets. -A really fat guy slip on ice and his pants fell down and his entire giant ass crack was exposed. -A guy who lived in a school bus who had a pet goat. He was called goat boy. The goat was stolen and murdered.
I had a field trip to some old churches in Detroit in the late 90s. On a weekday we saw two cars on fire like full blazing infernos at different places with one flipped upside down.
Wtf is wrong with Detroit
It's very different now, crime went way down when some organized crime stopped feuding and follows similar trends across all major US cities until an uptick again around the start of COVID
