Corpsicle Evokes Yawns in Detroit
We don't have to wait for $trillion dollar "stimulus" packages to cause a complete economic collapse to have cool postapocalyptic adventures like Mad Max. Thanks to having been run exclusively by lefties for decades, America's most liberal city has already crossed into the bleak future moonbattery has in store for us, making it an ideal destination for urban explorers. Recently, someone called a reporter with a tip on a dead guy found in the elevator shaft of an abandoned building on Detroit's west side:
"He's encased in ice, except his legs, which are sticking out like Popsicle sticks," the caller phoned to tell this reporter.
"Why didn't your friend call the police?"
"He was trespassing and didn't want to get in trouble," the caller replied. As it happens, the caller's friend is an urban explorer who gets thrills rummaging through and photographing the ruins of Detroit. It turns out that this explorer last week was playing hockey with a group of other explorers on the frozen waters that had collected in the basement of the building. None of the men called the police, the explorer said. They, in fact, continued their hockey game.
According to a derelict who lives in the building, the corpse had "been down there since last month at least." No one had bothered to call the police. After several calls to 911, the reporter managed to get the Fire Department to come haul the corpse away.
Per liberal ideology, human life is a random accident, devoid of meaning. This is why progressives have no qualms about abortion. It's also why stories like this one will become all the more common if our culture continues to go off the rails to the left.
On a tip from Joe from the Great Democratic Paradise of Michigan.

Detroit is good for only one thing - studio lot for shooting post apocalyptic movies.
Heres an idea, build a wall around Detroit and dump all the Gitmo and Maximum Security inmates from around the US in there. Sort of like a real life Escape From New York.

Where's Robocop when you need him?

Yeah, once you establish the principle that babies and sick people can be killed as a matter of convenience, it's just a short walk down the road to killing whoever as a matter of convenience.

They wouldn't last a day.

I'm surprised that no one took his shoes.

Wow....
To see a corpse like it was a discarded styrofoam coffee cup at the bottom of an elevator shaft. This is very disheartening. Have they no shame?

Maybe that's the guy who ratted out John Conyer's wife Monica to the Feds.

In updates, the police say their records show they responded to the reporter's call. Twice. But found nothing.
Yet the Fire Department found it, first try, in a few minutes.
Perhaps the police never found the elevator? Or never the, um, bottom of the shaft, just the ground floor doors?

That's probably one of the more dignified ways to die in Detroit, and it might beat having to actually live there. Seriously, for those who have only heard about Detroit, but never had the joy of smelling the rot of corruption and overall filth of liberalism on display, take it from me, it's the most fucking disgusting place on earth. It makes Gary, IN seem like a decent place for whitey to live.

Now if this had involved a animal you can bet PETA and a bunch of hollywood slopheads would be crying like whimpheads over the whole thing

"Per liberal ideology, human life is a random accident, devoid of meaning."
This from the party that brought us approximately 80,000 civilian casualties in Iraq.
Good one wingnuts, good one...

The news gets worse. Although the deceased, Johnnie Redding, was not the victim of foul play,it is still unclear how he came to be frozen in a vault of ice in a warehouse next to the old Michigan Central Rail Depot. He was wearing work gloves, and was believed to have been scrounging metal.
The whole thing is beginning to sound like some post-nuclear apocalypse, however, the only two cities that actually were nuked are doing considerably better than Detroit.
