    Why sensationalism makes the news worthless

    Suburban scrap businesses distribute flyers offering to pay top dollar to Detroit scrappers - WXYZ.com



    These morons can't seem to understand that buying scrap metal is not a crime, nor is selling scrap.

    Burly and other fellow metro Detroit folks, I encourage you to write channel 7 and let them know we will not be given a bad name.

    Kind of a touchy subject in cities like Detroit and even here in the boonies. If a house is left empty here its is stripped in 2 weeks or less. What is going to happen eventually is like with every thing else only the big boys who pay off the politicians with bribes (Legal campaign funds) will be able to do business. Unintended (maybe) consequences of new laws and or regulation

    We need to go back to where it is legal to shoot looters. Just my .02.

    As far as the news, it must have been a slow news day. If it bleeds it leads.
    "anyone who thinks scrappin is easy money ain't doin it right!"
