Homeless Man Dies Near Super Bowl

A few blocks away from Ford Field, Detroit Police Department officers discovered a homeless man stabbed to death. The Steelers and Seahawks will be playing today in the Super Bowl just blocks away from this location. Here's an article.

I’m sure the thousands of fans trekking to the game will have no idea what happened.

Interesting that advocates and officials were earlier worried that homeless people would be falsely arrested or swept away. Instead of false arrests, the people living near Ford Field were more at risk of being stabbed by criminals than being roughed up by the police.

I think communities get so caught up in the “rights” of homeless people, and the “rights” of the community, that we forget that allowing people to sleep on the streets is just wrong. Every night, people on the streets risk their lives because of violence and terrible health conditions.
