If you're planning on doing a bit of robbing, or perhaps a home invasion or two, you might want to try a city other than Detroit. <br /><br />That's the lesson two young men learned over the weekend after they broke into a home at about 2 a.m. on February 22nd.<br /><br />The homeowner caught the thieves in his house and after one of the bad guys raised a tire-iron, the homeowner shot and killed him while also wounding the second intruder. <br /><br />Days before that fatal shooting, a Detroit woman made the news after she shot at three teens trying to burglarize her home. <br /><br />The teens got lucky and only ended up arrested. <br /><br />Detroit is having a hard time shaking off its well-founded reputation for violence, with almost 400 murders last year. <br /><br />Forbes Magazine's list of the Most Dangerous U.S. Cities of 2013 put Detroit at the top for the fifth year in a row last year. <br /><br />There was one bright spot: the overall rate of violent crime rate in the Motor City did actually decline in 2013. <br /><br />The city is faced with massive financial problems and it became the biggest municipality to go bankrupt in U.S. history.<br /><br />The U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation's crime database reports Detroit had 386 murders last year, up from 344 in 2011.<br /><br />Detroit continues to hemorrhage residents and that outflow of residents has driven Detroit's murder rate up to 54.6 per 100,000, more than 10 times the national United States' average.<br /><br />The city's police chief, James Craig, says Detroit needs more armed citizens, as in his words "Good Americans with guns can help deter crime." <br /><br />Such pronouncements are often mocked by anti-gun campaigners, but if it was your granny living in Detroit, you might just sleep better knowing she's able to defend herself.<br /><br />------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br />Welcome to TomoNews, where we animate the most entertaining news on the internets.
