I think it used to be D.C and then New Orleans for a while, but Detriot is in the top five and I'm proud to say that Oakland, CA has now doubled the # number of murders compared to this time last year.....every freaking morning I turn on the news someone was shot in Oakland....great, I have to go there every damn day. I need to start carrying a camera cause you'd die on some of the "G'd" out rides I see....including Mustangs... :surrender

Yeah, thats real tragic. He was the most talented out of the group. I met him before at St. Andrews before. Bizarre and Obie Trice was cool but the rest of them acted like they were too good to mingle with the crowd.

I used to live in San Rafael so I know what you mean about Oakland.It's like a whole other world once you cross the bridge!!

When I joined the Army that is where the MEPS center is.They told everyone to not leave the building for fear of someone getting shot!!

The sign is sad but true. I am a Detroit 24+ year vet (yes I do compare it to surviving a war) that has seen some of the most shocking things anywhere. I've been shot at, had 2 attempted carjackings, and have been robbed at gunpoint while walking home from school, and seen more shootouts than I care to talk about. There is a saying that in Detroit, people shoot first, and ask questions never. It was a relief moving to Florida for a few years. It tickled me when I read that sign in the newspaper a couple days ago.
