Detroit Belle Isle:
Stealing for the Rich?

Jun 23, 2014

When you drive out to Belle Isle with your children on a beautiful summer day, what does it do to your relaxed mood to get pulled over by State Police/Department of Natural Resources–surrounding you with four vehicles? Is that fun? Rumor has it “warrant checks” are being run–on bicycle riders!

The State of Michigan is using their control of Belle Isle as if the island is only for the wealthy. At this “public” park, there is a Grand Prix/Private Event-type of “security presence” every day.

Just another symptom of the move of the wealthy to steal Detroit’s “jewels” from the working people whose labor built Detroit.
