Flint: A game of poker between friends turns to the tragedy

When we think of cities American which are not going very well, we often think of Detroit, but not far from Detroit, in Michigan State, lies another city in decline, Flint (the town of birth of Michael Moore). This city is one of the most violent and criminalized by the United States.

For example, last year, 66 murders have taken place and 85 rapes (reported) while the population is approximately 125,000 people. The closure of the General Motors plants there is obviously for something.

Yesterday, on MLive.com, you could read a sad story mixing violence and poker (it sounds like a Tarantino).

André, 44 years, organized a night poker home game. Everything was going for the better until Andre overtake his brother Jeffrey to cheat. At this time, André decided to hunt all players from his home with the exception of his brother with whom he had a case to settle.

After a big fight, Andre decided to set the story in its own way leaving a firearm and pulling a bullet into the chest of his brother.

Jeffrey unfortunately succumbed to his injuries a few hours later. Meanwhile, André immediately surrendered to the police where he was interrogated. It will be entitled to a trial before a judge within a few months. In the meantime, he spent his days in a cell pending his trial.

A moment of tilt that probably regret it very long.
