    I’m from the Detroit area and spend a lot of time in the city. In the late 90s and early 2000’s, I seen’t some shit.

    -Guy in a wheelchair with no legs having sex with a prostitute in the street. -A guy pulled a tooth out of his mouth and threw it at my car. -I saw a guy get shot in the stomach at a gas station over some sort of argument, -Countless people pooping in public. -A guy dressed up as a power ranger walking the streets. -A really fat guy slip on ice and his pants fell down and his entire giant ass crack was exposed. -A guy who lived in a school bus who had a pet goat. He was called goat boy. The goat was stolen and murdered.

      I had a field trip to some old churches in Detroit in the late 90s. On a weekday we saw two cars on fire like full blazing infernos at different places with one flipped upside down.
