I have been away from brightmoor for 10 yrs... still feel at home when I visit at new years! If you never experienced new years in Detroit, you are missing out! Awesome video!
I'm not 100% sure how to stop it, but I've lived in and around the city for all of my 38 years and I never thought we could stop devils night, and we've done a damn good job at that. I don't have the answers, no one does, but together, we can handle most anything. Keep up the good fight brother
fochnut As much as I want to agree, I'm going to have to disagree.I have probably lived in 15 different cities/towns thru out my life. And I have never experience anything like that.Now I have heard a few fire works, but never anything crazy on New Years Eve. But Im not saying Detroit is the only city.
Indahood Films Thanx for the info, i was kinda thinking it was a hood thing too, but i didn't want to offend anyone. Where i live is pretty quiet, however i live maybe an hour from a major city.My aunt lives in the hood close to Cleveland, and she says they get a lot of gun shots after midnight too.
Brightmoor is clearly one of the strangest and poorest sections of Detroit. The area feels more like something out of the Mississippi Delta than a part of NorthWest Detroit. Many of the whites I knew that lived there fled to Tennesse and Kentucky. Some neighbors I had in Brightmoor had no running water, electricity, or gas. My neighbor would run an extension cord to my house when his power would get shut off (which was all the time) just to keep his meat in his freezer from going bad. Brightmoor Pros: You can shoot firearms anytime you choose. You have a great connection to an assortment of street drugs. Housing is super cheap to rent or buy. Things are definitly never boring. You can ride 4 wheelers, dirtbikes, go carts, etc. all over and no one will bother you. Prostitutes are lingering everywhere, although they are super nasty usually. Some of the neighbors are actually cool and look out for one another. Brightmoor Cons: People shoot guns everywhere. Drugs are being sold and used everywhere. Housing stock was built with inferior materials and are basically junk. If you send your kids to any of the schools located in the Brightmoor district, they are more likely to aquire a felony than a degree. People and contractors dumping their junk and garbage throughout the area. Prostitution everywhere, used condoms, blunt wrapers, needles, etc. Scrapers stealing siding, plumbing, building materials, from every house. Thieves just waiting for you to leave your house so they can steal all your stuff. Home Invasion is popular too, they just kick in the door while your there; kill you and then take your stuff. Don't let anyone know you have anything of any value. If you call 911, don't expect a quick response - if there is even a response at all. The Police, Fire and EMT are overloaded with priority calls and your home invasion is number 13 on the list. If all of these negatives weren't enough, you have a hefty dose of racial hostility against the extreme minorty of whites that still live in Brightmoor. Not all the blacks in Brightmoor hate all whites, but if your white, be prepared to be a target. My suggestion: Move to Redford or Livonia, you may pay a little more a month, but it is worth it for the safety of your family.
And thats just ONE ares of the citys westside... Detroit is 142.9 square miles. Come new years eve you'll hear everything from semi-auto to full-auto, long bursts to short bursts, as well as the occasional tracer rounds... Yup!
ohhhhhhh this is Brightmore. Yea that's a different animal, i don't consider that Detroit. They have deer running around there. And you're right, it won't stop
I guess nothing changed.i was a home owner from 1988 to 2009.48224 zip.every spring i would have to fill holes in my roof.one time my 1984 chevy took a hit to the fender.i finally got out.i still miss detroit but my detroit vanished in the late 80's.Best wish for those who are still to hole down the fort.
i lived all over brightmoor burgess, greydale, i went to school at redford when it was still standing, i have an old BMG hat, i miss the old hood and shooting off guns
I grew up not too far away, on Gilchrist, between Outer Drive & 7 Mile. That was in the 70's and 80's. Moved to the Corridor in 1987 and then out of state in '94. Came back in '99 for about 6 years. Now I'm out in San Diego, which is a total shithole. Believe it or not, I deal with the same shit here that you're dealing with there. The wife and I have had enough, so now we're looking at AZ. The problem here in San Diego is, nobody gives a shit, or doesn't have the street smarts to notice. Not to mention the fact that we are not allowed to CCW or open-carry. I'm disabled now (cardiovascular defects), so I can't confront people like I used to when I was able-bodied. Keep fightin' the good fight!
Wrong that was ELCA Lutheran Christian group that brought in 30,000 youths to serve Detroiter's and the lord...... Brightmoor was blessed with thousands of these kids cleaning boarding up, we recieved around 195 of these murals that were placed on abandoned homes in the area.
I can't believe this is from the new year. I made my comment before typing. I'm in dearborn not far away and i didn't hear anything. I'm well within ear shot (no pun intended) so i should have heard something. I honestly didn't think folks still shot on new year's but I'm wrong. Good footage and this video doesn't bother me
this city is something else man...You sir are a brave man for living down there I live across the border in Windsor but drive truck over there and I don't even stop at the red lights during the day down where u are...hope u have a safe new year!!!
I was there for new year's one night, twenty plus years ago. My boyfriend told me to go inside because we were upstairs on a balcony and it wasn't safe. So, we simply went inside. People fire straight up. I'm not into guns at all, but no one was hurt and apparently this tradition has been going on for decades still!
+Joanne Zysk I'm glad you guys were safe, I'm not into guns either but I do know the dangers of firing a handgun towards the sky. It is not safe to do.
+freakinrican773 You should hear indiana where gun laws are almost non-exsistant during NYE, almost every body and their grandmother is letting off their gun in indy, I'll never forget NYE of 2014 where I seen a white girl and a puerto rican girl come outside in their NYE outfits in 20degree weather and let off 30rds from their mac 10s. The wonders of alcohol.

I'll pass
Hopefully don't pass too close.
somethings just don't change people have been shooting guns on new years for as long as I have been alive and before

I lived on Beaverland at Chalfonte in the 60's attended Hubert and Redford Hs now both gone with by home an neighborhood. Good job in your efforts.
Thats crazy, sounds like a war zone!!!
Is this normal for the whole city of Detroit on New Years Eve??
+OZOBIE i think its common just about everywhere

I live across the river in Windsor, Ontario. Fuck no, it's not common. Insane how a single river separates me and a war zone.
Lots of AKs I hear.

My rich neighborhood in South Carolina sounds like this on new years. It's fireworks.
teehee not jealous in the least
Kevin Rustles these are gunshots.
U obviously don't know what a gunshot sounds like
I guess nothing changed.i was a home owner from 1988 to 2009.48224 zip.every spring i would have to fill holes in my roof.one time my 1984 chevy took a hit to the fender.i finally got out.i still miss detroit but my detroit vanished in the late 80's.Best wish for those who are still to hole down the fort.
I already knew this video was gonna be loud when I saw the city Detroit in the title.
i lived all over brightmoor burgess, greydale, i went to school at redford when it was still standing, i have an old BMG hat, i miss the old hood and shooting off guns

thanks I know what you are saying all too well.
+fochnut what do you do for a living that youd live in that area? from my understanding, there is an incredibly high violence rate.
+unchangable I do sprinklers repair for Detroit and surrounding communities. violence is everywhere..... I grew up here and its just part of it.
In The Philippines, it's was all fireworks and firecrakers. Is this common in the big D?
+Tj Samson yes..... every year. I have two more posted on here
You need to move...
What goes up must come down and hopefully you ain't standing around. Those are definitely gun shots and not all fireworks, I know the difference.
wow they got some real problems out there
Surprised there’s no shot spotters
These few streets been written off a long time ago only the ppl left protect the area
This would make me move.
come to Dallas on new year's, when the clock hits 12:00am it's sounds like Vietnam lol
Zen Of MGTOWhmmm maybe next year

How can you live in a place like that?
Tearjargon any better suggestions?
