Detroit Murder City makes the headlines again. Nine people were shot at North America's biggest fireworks show, in downtown Detroit. I long ago ceased going to this event because of these types of problems. Who can forget the world-famous incident at the 1991 fireworks?
The view from home, 6 miles north, on channel 4, was just as good. I could turn the volume down at will, get refills on my martini, and not get shot.
A family member of one of the victims was on Mitch Albom's radio show today, and according to him, the shooting followed a fight over a pair of $1,000 sunglasses.
