Author    Post   Raymond Sist F L I N T O I D Since the media won't report anything bad that happened, post what you saw here. I was a bit surprised at the $1.50 charge to ride the bus to Glenwood Cemetery. Will the media report on WHY everything was shut down early? NO. Sun Aug 18, 2013 7:08 am  twotap F L I N T O I D And another thing how about someone performing some cruising music for a change, Beach Boys, Jan and Dean little deuce coupe, 409 ETC enough of the yearly Motown sound which has nothing to do with cars and cruising. Hey BTB wake up people its a friggin car show. _________________ "If you like your current healthcare you can keep it, Period"!! Barack Hussein Obama--- multiple times. Sun Aug 18, 2013 8:02 am  00SL2 F L I N T O I D Raymond Sist, Back to the Bricks ended at the scheduled time of 6 p.m. Saturday, August 17th. Sun Aug 18, 2013 8:32 am  untanglingwebs El Supremo I read the article about a fight starting during the event and being stopped within 30 seconds. My BS meter should have gone off when I read that a dozen people were arrested. I knew I had been scammed when a cop laughed and asked why I did not know what happened with the Gang fight. Then on facebook a friend was talking about how a man grabbed her and her children telling them to stay down as he secured them between two cars. He then used his body to shield them as people stampeded down the street. She is very thankful to him. her children are small and could have been serious injured in the rush. Finally Flint Police Operations posted a photo of the site where the gun was allegedly shown. This was the incident my friend described. Escaping people got the attention of the SWAT team who then dealt with the problem. The 30 seconds resolution was pure Flint Journal fabrication and they should be ashamed of themselves. Sun Aug 18, 2013 9:24 am  00SL2 F L I N T O I D There has been a great deal of media coverage on Back to the Bricks. Here are links to some of the mlive articles.

I this case I think the word means quit maintaining them at all & let them grow wild. I can guess which parks this will apply to. Sun Aug 18, 2013 10:21 am  twotap F L I N T O I D I don't know if webs was there but this facebook poster was. BroBob Were you there about 6:30 pm Friday? They were fighting in the street, police were keeping some of it in check. That's the way those people (animals) are like, they're not happy if they're not stirring something up. That's where I'm going with the "storm trooper" demonstration by law enforcement. It's what works best. _________________ "If you like your current healthcare you can keep it, Period"!!

If I had gone, I would have worn my "Flint's original back to the bricks T-shirt". The one with the chalked outline of a body laying on the bricks. Sun Aug 18, 2013 12:39 pm  Adam F L I N T O I D I heard police were out in force.

That's where I'm going with the "storm trooper" demonstration by law enforcement. It's what works best. I don't go to any event downtown. I saw my facebook friends talking about fights and being afraid though. They said too many young people were there without adults Sun Aug 18, 2013 1:51 pm  twotap F L I N T O I D Too many "young people" AKA thugs from the North End. _________________ "If you like your current healthcare you can keep it, Period"!!
