‘Fighting and Throwing Chairs’: Riot Explodes as Thousands Seek Housing Vouchers in Mich.

Thousands Riot for Section 8 Housing Vouchers in Taylor, Michigan

Applicants for Section 8 housing vouchers in Taylor, Michigan went wild Saturday after authorities asked thousands to return another time, CBS Detroit relates.

Apparently, somewhere between 3,000 and 5,000 turned out– some waiting in line all night– but only 1,000 vouchers were available.

CBS Detroit explains:

When it came time for the vouchers to be distributed, police said there was a mad rush for the door, with people jockeying for position to be the first inside the building. Officers tried to control the crowd, but couldn’t. Fearing the situation was more than they could handle, event organizers shut the entire thing down and turned off the lights inside the building. Witnesses say that’s when things really got ugly.

Star Lee, of Romulus, described the scene as complete chaos.

“People just don’t have order to themselves, you know what I mean? People were fighting and throwing chairs, and that’s just not necessary…”

Candice Wacasey, of Taylor, said she was frightened.

“When the lights went out, it went horrible. People started trampling over people, there was a disabled lady that was in a wheelchair, and they was trying to knock her over to get in front of her. I mean, just crazy,” she said. [Emphasis added]

And those who were willing to knock over a disabled woman for a crack at government subsidized housing certainly weren’t going to let a few kids get in the way, according to witnesses.

“There was people who was physically putting their hands on people’s childs (sic) and moving them. It was unbelievable,” Lenny Syer said.

But many were more troubled by the fact that thousands may have to forgo government assistance a bit longer.

“There was elderly, disabled people, pregnant single women. They were here for help, to get their Section 8 vouchers. It just shows you what a desperate need [there is]… some were here since yesterday,” Rhianna Rodriguez told ABC 7.

Authorities say they will examine what went wrong on Saturday to determine how to best reschedule the event.

ABC 7 has more, including interviews with a number of the attendees:

Do you really want to know who is in charge of all of this massive plan? Watch this and you will know who this man is.

God is really in charge and allowing these thigs to happen, because of people like the ones you see here, and the ones who dole it out for the sheep to follow.

  The only big decisions we the people need to make is to ask for mercy, frogiveness, and follow Jesus Christ. He will do the rest.

  I disagree. The cops are there to protect innocent people from anyone who would do them harm, whores included. God loves every one of them and he can and will save them if they only ask. They are simply asking the wrong person. I pray for every single one of them, and ask God to give them peace and comfort.

My biggest pet peeve is when I see a new vehicle ..ie..Cadillac, Towncar, Lexus, driven by one of these supposebly “low. income” tenants. They want us the taxpayer ‘dopes’ to pay their housing..but they want to drive in style. Good grief..get a life people!

Again the police show up after the fact when the they know darn well there will be trouble in advance.

The folks that really need this housing were no doubt knocked out of the way by the stronger more able bodied people who can and should be working for their own keep. Where is the equality? The strongest get to the head of the line is not equality. This is everything that Dear Leader is against right..gotta play by the rules right? These ppl were there standing in line overnight and for what?

  Imagine how ‘Survival of the fittest’ will play out if the Feds lose control. Millions who should never have been born, and who have never worked, will be forced to compete on a level field.

Trying to get Section 8 housing, but they have enough money for cellphones? Oh wait. Those are free too.

I don’t have a problem with poor and disabled people getting help, but that one young able-bodied woman wearing the stocking hat interrupting the interview with a cell phone glued to her ear disgusts me! THAT’S the attitude that makes people mad. From the smirk on her face, she knew EXACTLY what she was doing. People like her enjoy the chaos that they created. She should be put at the back of the line.

Just think what will happen when people are standing in line for hours to get a loaf of bread and are told there isn’t anymore.

  I can’t say that will never happen, but if it does, someone else can have my loaf. I have the bread that came down from heaven and that is sufficient for me. Though my flesh dies I will live forever, thanks to God’s salvation, mercy and grace. I hope you are saved and not in fear of what we are told must come to pass.

Someone should call Valerie Jarret and have her deal with it. Didn’t they say this was the Taylor Administration. That’s her ball of wax. I am so tired of government officials making money off of creating poor.
