The French Ghetto - Future of Detroit?

[Rider79]

Just watched RoboCop on cable. Amazing how little Detroit seems to have changed since that movie came out in 1987.


Yep, that's right. I'm all about necroposting today.

The issue in France is the combination of a class of immigrants that are crammed into urban ghettos, living off the dole and having zero respect for authority. Additionally, they generally do not wish to assimilate & become part of French society. Add radicalization into the mix and you have a recipe for disaster.

Its the same in the UK. I could tell you stories, from police experience, but they seem so far fetched you would not believe them.

My GF's sister in law is of French Moroccan descent, and she was telling us over July 4th weekend all about what is going on in France these days. According to her, the problem is much worse than is being reported. It was shocking.

Much, much, worse than reported. I know some French guys, military and Gendarmarie (Federal Police recruited from the military) they are based in Paris. When it blows out in Paris it is like parts of Sarajevo, there are guns and molotovs, police and arabs die. In the typical French manner though, what happens in France, stays in France.

The majority of the film was shot here in Dallas, Texas and the mill scenes were shot in Monessen, Pennsylvania.

Ok, how little the portrayal of Detroit has changed.

Being from that area of PA, I'll bet that steel mill is still there and still looks that way.
