After calling me and telling me she was 'held-up' I thought she meant by a train or traffic. I never thought of robbery. And at our lighted porch in our driveway yet. Well, we do live on a very, very quiet street. They just stepped out of the darkness. My wife had 2 guns pointed at her as she exited the car in our own driveway the other night. The dog jumped out and as she exited the car, two low-lifes were upon her. I was at work and she had just dropped me off. They told her to give up her purse and she wouldn’t get hurt. That’s really something to say when you’ve got guns pointed at you. And we live in a nice neighborhood in the suburbs.
For the 1st few minutes I wanted to get home but from work, I couldn’t, and besides. The Police had just left and said it happened a few blocks up right before her. Some consolation! I was glad all they got was the purse, credit cards, a few bucks and I.D. Those can be replaced. But anything could have happened to her and the dog. Luckily, she had her keys, contact lens and phone. At least that was something positive. For that, I was relieved and am glad God was with her. But, now what? You think you live safe, and something like this happens. So much for security. All the motion detector lights and locked doors means nothing when you stare down the barrel of a couple guns. It could have turned real bad, real fast. Thank God it didn’t.
All these years Ive armed myself with a 357 Magnum with 150-grain Hollow points. If that had happened when I was there, I would have dropped them both where they stood. End of story. Thats WHY I feel safer armed than not. But, things in this world have to change. The sad thing is…they aren't going to anytime soon. And, its getting worse. Im just so relieved nothing worse happened to her, and I swear to you all. Someday, we are getting outta this "murder city" for good. Theres nothing left to strive for or hope for here. Detroit is the Cleveland or Buffalo of the future. It will be the next 'mistake on the lake'. It already is with no jobs, boarded and burned out houses, closed factories, and crack heads and ho's walking the street. There really are more of those than nice places and things in Detroit. Its a dying city on its last legs run by 'swami-Kwami's'. In my gym, Im now the only English speaking person there just about. And sorry friends. But Im sick to death of working out to Rap music in a place where the manager is a 23 year ghetto-head, and everyone else is talking foreign. So, it finally happened.
Im in the minority here, and ready to walk away. Burn the damn place to the ground. Shoot and kill each other, rob and rape and pillage. I don’t give a flying-f-of-a-flamingo if everyone burns in hell. And I am a God fearing Christian yet. This is no way to feel. But you put a gun or two in my face or my family…than "Katie-bar-the-door! Somebody's going to die. And it aint gonna be me. And rest assured. I will leave for good before I let that happen.
So lock your doors, keep your lights on, be aware of your surroundings, and carry only your ID and a few bills with you. As if that will really help you! It wont…but I have nothing else to give you hope for in this damn city. All is lost. The end times are upon us. And Ill be getting out soon. Maybe you all should pack a bag too? Before you get out of your car, in your own driveway with your porch lights on and have a gun shoved in your face.
God Bless my friends…and look over your shoulder. HDT
