My husband was a National Guard in Detroit at the time & got activated. He was gone for several weeks during the riots. The t.v. news would say only 2 or 3 was shot or just a few were killed at the end. It was all Lie's. He was a medic & was stationed in Harper hospital in downtown Detroit & saw them carrying in stretchers with 2 & 3 dead bodies piled on them at a time constantly. They didn't want the truth be let out on the local news for fear of things getting even worse. Back then they covered up a lot of the gory stuff, it was not like the news now a days where they tell & show everything.

My apartment building burned to the ground on January 26,2003.\nApproximately 30 people including myself lost every thing they owned. I lost my car when the building collapsed and managed to walk away that morning with just my daughter, my dog and my purse. \nPeople from all over the county came together to make sure every family in that building had a place to stay that night.\nChurches and civic groups arranged to have furniture and housewares donated by merchants in the area, families donated \nclothes, housewares and more furniture.  Total strangers donated $ to a fund set up to help each family get into a new apartment and to make sure their utilities were connected.\nI worked at a car dealership @ the time and the owner of the dealership gave me a car to drive until I had saved up enough $ to pay for it.\nI had $96.00 in my bank account and an 8 year old daughter to support and was left with absolutely nothing due to something beyond my control and total strangers chose to help me and make sure that I had everything my family needed to get on with our lives.\nI have a completely new understanding of what people's kindness can do. I want to be able to make people realize that you can start over, all you may need is a hand.

excuse me, i happen to LIVE near detroit. its barely EVER like this. only in the streets of detroit. i hate how people are critizing us because of Proof. It happens that Proof was shot by an ex militia man and he missed. so Proof shot back, hit him while the guy just began another shot. they both died at like the same time.\n\nif you'd know any better, you better find more resources before dissing MY town.

I live in Smethwick (just outside of Birmingham) and for the most part the police are brilliant, but I have seen them drive past gangs fighting on the street more than once. When my neighbour was beating up his wife it took them over an hour to respond and when I was punched in the face by a drunk at 10pm they didn't get to my house until 2am.\n\nCoppers, Bobby's, Bizzies, Pigs, The Filth, The Old Bill, Rozzers and The Fuzz

Do a WWW search. Sure some major website will pop up. Or your best bet but it will take time would be to go to the local library, if they have the old newspapers archived on microfilm, and browse the 1985 paper in St. Clair MI. Unless you don't live there. Then maybe call the library and see if they will help you and mail the info to you or something.

I loved the Busta Rhymes performance, I know I pissed my neighbors off, I was so crunk. I wish I could have been there.\n\n\n(I also did not like that "you people" phrase, GROW UP!!!)

I used to live there from 1980-1984.  I live about 60 miles west of Tuscaloosa now in Columbus, Mississippi.  I go every once and a while to do some shopping, but not that often. I remember the day that Bear Bryant died.  I was in second grade I think, and school let out early because of it.  My mom took me to a department store named Wilson's and bought me a box that had ET and Reece's Pieces in it.  Hell of a memory, huh?!

Sure, what would be good about them?  Basketball at that level is very physical, and it should be.  And, I can see occasionally a pushing match, or even punches being exchanged.  But, a brawl even approaching the level of what happened in Detroit is terrible for everyone!

Yup. I heard about 2days ago. I live in Detroit so it was one the local news not to long after it occured. It's a really sad thing. And I hate to say this, because of the outcome, but it usually takes a tragedy for people to understand consequences.

I am already involved in the sudanese genocide in Dufor.It really broke my heart to see the story.\n\nOver a million blacks have been forced from their homes by Arab militias backed by the government, into camps if they aren't raped/killed on the way as tens of thousands have been. Now, the rainy season is coming which will worsen the sickness and malnutrition already rampant in the camps and make it tougher for aid to get in.\n\n I have sent a small but helpful donation.I wish I could go there and do some hands on help...especuially with the children who are homeless and in trouble.\n\nA big thank you for posting this and making others aware!!!

I was just about to post the same thing but you beat me too it! I guess great minds think alike!! I live in NY state and i saw no change. I even saw Mexicans here buying things, working, acting like nothing was new. No signs, No protesters, nothing. Business as usual here. Now i live in  trailer park, next to a gas station. And a lot of the population here is Hispanic and Mexican. I sat in my house and watch them go to the store, buy things, just act like nothing was wrong. If i didn't frequent Yahoo Answers then i would have never know about the marches yesterday. So I think that the "March" was poorly organized. It didn't reach every single aspect of our American lives or our city's. Like it was intended. And I thought that was the point? I know they marched in D.C., and New York City, and all the BIGGER city's in our country, but its the small city's that make up alot about this country. And we saw no effect. So i really wouldn't worry.. I don't think they accomplished much yesterday. Nothing at all.
