My dad grew up in the Detroit area (class of 1980 Clintondale) and he
remembers going to college down in Detroit at wayne state a lot of shootings
happened there he said back in 1984 he was walking with a group of friends
late in the evening when a 6 year old African American kid ran past them
saying he was going to make his dad proud of him carrying a huge brick of
cocaine he got to the end of the street and a bike pulled up and shot him to
death Detroit wasn't called murder capitol USA for nothing!
