frozenguy Red Wings fan killed after being run over and dragged

Consider the stereotypes people have about Detroit…murder, dilapidated buildings, unemployment, etc…

Just a few months ago a man was lying dead in a vacant building while people played floor hockey around him. No one bothered to call the police…

But last night, well, this might be the wost of them all.

A 19-year-old Michigan State University student leaving a Red Wings hockey game with friends Thursday night was dragged more than a quarter-mile under a car and killed, police said.

Let me repeat that for you….1/4 mile. The distance around a track. More than a thousand feet. As a native Detroiter that knows the area, I can’t believe that nobody saw anything (including this person’s friends). Considering this happened after a Red Wings game, there must have been at the very least, several hundred people within a small radius.

Whether the driver of the car was drunk or just simply didn’t care, I truly find this to be appalling.

What'd you think of this?
