FBI Crime Statistics for the Metro Detroit Area in 2007
Wednesday September 17, 2008
Detroit's crime rate was still higher than much of the nation's in 2007, which is the news bite you're more likely to hear about, but actually both violent crimes and crimes to property were down in the city compared to 2006. While the surrounding suburbs were relatively much safer, an increase in violent crime was reported in Auburn Hills. There was also an over 50% increase in violent crime in Royal Oak. Crimes to property in Auburn Hills were actually down from 2006, but the rate itself was actually approaching that of Detroit's and much higher than most of the area's other suburban communities.
Here is a sampling of the crime rates in some of the communities in the Metro Detroit area for 2007 according to The Detroit News' Interactive Database:

Isn’t it crazy that McCain has 13 cars and some of them are foreign. Yeah, he really cares for our autoworkers. Barack has just one and it’s a Ford Hybrid. Get with it Michigan. Go to http://www.BarackForUs.com for the facts!
Either way the government wins, and the men behind the curtain are still able to do what they want. I suggest watching Zeitgeist before you get your panties in a bunch about a presidential election.

Pick up some true knowledge and facts.
I think that racism legally went out of America A LOOOOONG time ago so all you “white” men need to “get with the program”. You know what…your mama shoulda used a condom. Barack Obama is going to get us out of this mess and hopefully John McCain can continue to support Bush’s ethics somewhere else. THANK YOU.
