This is how socialists get elected.
Via Law and Crime:
As many Americans celebrated Independence Day with firecrackers and barbecues, over a thousand people in Detroit fell victim to a cruel scam. Apparently, fliers and social media posts promised that those who showed up at City Hall in Highland Park on July 4th would receive free housing and $100,000.
Behind the incident was purportedly a group calling itself the Detroit Free Housing Program, which maintains a credible-looking website, and engaged in an active social media campaign to lure people to line up.
Attendees were told that if they voted to get rid of the current city council and its policies, thousands of abandoned homes in Detroit would be given to them, free of charge.
According to a post made directly by the City of Detroit, the organization organizing the event was denied permitting; residents were also notified that the event was not sanctioned and were advised not to attend via social media.
Still, the scam drew such a crowd that it required the dispatching of additional police officers. According to Detroit News, this isn’t the first time such a con has been perpetrated on Detroiters; police said that Ramzu Yunus, a leader in the “African-American Sovereign Movement,” was the event’s organizer, and was given a citation for lacking a permit at today’s event. Yunus is well-known by Detroit police; On July 4, 2016, Yunus organized a nearly identical event, during which crowd control became problematic.
