What Happened At Eastern Market In Detroit

Eastern Market is a popular area for Detroit Lions fans to celebrate their team before and after the games. After Sunday's Lions game vs the Tampa Bay Bucs, tragedy struck as two fans got into an argument resulting in a gun being pulled after things escalated. Shed 6 was the area of the crime scene that resulted in two people losing their lives.

Police say only one shot was taken. The victims included, were one man dead on the scene, and another who was in critical condition. The man who was in critical condition ended up dying later. According to police, the second victim, Rayshawn Bryant, was there simply to defuse the situation between the arguing fans. Bryant was downtown, and in an act of kindness and generosity tried to give peace and reasoning resulting in his tragic death.

Shootings like Detroit and Others Need to Stop

We are living in a world where school shootings and shootings in general are becoming the norm. Parents are scared to send their children off to school, praying they will see them when the bell rings. Now you have to be nervous about going to sporting events, concerts, and other public events.

Detroit already has a nationwide bad reputation and this most recent event adds to it. We are coming up on the third anniversary of the metro Detroit, Oxford High School shooting. This type of stuff is so heartbreaking. Innocent lives are being taken away like it's no big deal. Nothing is worth taking a human life.

Final Thoughts

Eastern Market canceled its tailgate event for the Monday Night Football game between the Detroit Lions and the Seattle Seahawks on September 30. It seems like in today's world there is no safe space. These shootings are ridiculous. The 2nd Amendment allows citizens the right to bear arms, not to be an a**h***. There is no situation unless your life is being threatened or you are in danger where a gun should be drawn. We as a people should hope and pray that we can go places and not have to worry about our lives.

If you must fight listen to Pops "You win some, You lose some, but you LIVE, you LIVE to see another day!"
