Problem is that you let these ppl get away with it. I’m a Michigan native, but moved out when I joined the Navy. Now down here in Virginia, we do not have the problem. Virginia has an open carry law. You want to go armed, no problem, just carry it on your hip. The “crowd” of ppl would have run if I had gotten out of my car armed and ready. Gunfight in the streets? If that’s what it will take to get rid of the animals, so be it. Threaten my life, or those that are with me, your going down, you and your homeboys. We down here, just do not have the problem that is there in Michigan.

Funny thing about this article is the careful omission of the term GANG. A “group of people”……come on, accept the fact that gangs exist, they are in the area and they made prey of some sheep. What was the driver thinking of when he got out of the car? It’s much less painful to eat crow, drive away and report it, than getting out to supposedly check the damage and become a greater victim. People need to wake up and evaluate the circumstance before they act. Especially in todays environment. He’s lucky to be alive.

I am a police officer in the inner city. I have a couple of comments. First if the racial make up was reverse there would be marching and protests nation wide. You would see the Rev Sharpton in Mt Clemens protesting but since the victims are white you see nothing. I am not a raciest but this was a raciest crowd! Second your city leaders disbanded the police department to save money. The sheriffs department allocates 1/2 the staffing as the prior police staffing of Mt Clemens PD. How was a mob of 20-30 allowed to roam free for several hours with no police response. We hear the cry of the 911 call but what about the other 911 calls that no one responded too? Your politicians saved money at the expense of its citizens and visitors. Your city is not worth living in if you do not feel safe.
