It's terrible that a lot of windows were broken, but I am more curious about why a man was screaming bloody murder behind my house last night. I live on Mansfield in Normal Park and Around 1 am I called the police because it sounded like someone was being murdered on the path behind my house. Tons of police and ambulances showed up! I wonder what happened....Anybody know anything?

Why does the majority of news reported by AAnews always negative regarding Ypsi?

Hey Tim Hornton: If you're referring to news involving crime, we report any significant incidents that get reported to us from all police agencies, including Ann Arbor, Ypsi, Pittsfield and the sheriff's office. We get daily reports from many of those agencies and are continuously posting crime briefs from them. There is no tally concerning how many are coming from specific agencies or areas of the county.

Maybe because the City of Ypsilanti is a haven for crime and gang activity? Grow up, folks. Sticking your heads in the sand will not make the problems go away. It didn't work in Detroit and it won't work here.
