Primus Pilus Posted August 21, 2006 Report Share Posted August 21, 2006 People never kill eachother in Detroit. It's the safest most beautiful city on earth. There is no crime, there is no urban blight, and it smells nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaius Paulinus Maximus Posted August 21, 2006 Report Share Posted August 21, 2006 Executions are pretty rare in the U.k but they do happen, shootings and gun crimes are becoming more and more apparent, i think it's just a matter of time before we see all our police force carrying guns just like the majority of the rest of the world do. It's pretty sad but i think it's inevitable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
