You try and work hard, to better your life & those around you.
Reminds me of "no good deed goes unpunished".
I wish Josh & his family the very best.
Everything in this world is political.....
If you read deeper and think about this.... Rose was investigating a rash of vehicle break in's (in Josh's neighborhood-or very close) and it looking more & more like this theft ring is likely a inside job.... is it possible Rose was killed by the same group?
Put the squeeze to those Detroit outliers by similar practices as this?
Saw also which I'm sure just about everyone else did too...One was stolen out of the dealer showroom last week.
Also a few F150's, right out of the service department, not necessarily in Detroit though.
Just goes to show, got the balls, it'll happen, ridiculous.
Josh's story is a horrible read.
I worked in new center and downtown for ~10 years. Personally had good luck & no major incidents, but also enough common sense to consciously avoid trouble as much as possible. A couple co-workers weren't as lucky, even getting mugged at lunch (noon) around Eastern Market - no one was hurt, thankfully. Total respect to Josh in trying to participate in making things better down there, but there's just no way I would live down there, with a wife/family, including with flashy cars, or high dollar (or emotional value) shop equipment short of having a place as locked down as Fort Knox. Just a matter of time otherwise - sad but true.
Josh's business being cleared out was a message. The people that did it had no fear for what they were doing. Sound like they had no fear stealing cars from his lot either.
So then... back to Rose. Petty thief stealing car audio are not going to shoot a cop (imo)... I'm thinking Rose knew his shooter and that why he was killed.... who ever it was did not want to be identified.
Wow, just read this on YB. Glad you posted it Rich. I can't imagine the feeling he's going through right now. It's sad that there are so many people who have faith in Detroit and actually moved down there to help it grow image positive way, yet the core of Detroit is determined to not let that happen. Sadly, I really believe the culture needs to change first which sadly, isn't going to happen anytime soon. Best of luck to you Josh and sorry for your losses.
Sounds like the Sherrif or MSP needs to do some patrolling. Maybe that will deter crooked DPD and lowlife scumbags.
