Detroiters must hate it when suburbanites come visiting and screw up their idyllic city. The latest such example is a shooting between passengers of the riverboat, the Detroit Princess. First off, a riverboat? What is this, Mississippi? But that’s beside the point. Last month,  Michael A. Thomas, 32, and his wife, Latoiya Mitchell-Thomas, 28, both of Roseville, got involved in a shooting with LaDon Richard, 46, of Detroit. No one was killed, but the charges are serious. Prosecutors say Thomas and Mitchell-Thomas were driving away after the boat docked and she fired into a crowd of people. Richard fired back and struck Thomas. It just steams my clams that people from the mean streets of Roseville feel compelled to take their raucous lifestyles down into a simple, peace-loving city like Detroit. But, as Mark Twain said, “Be good, and you will be lonesome in Roseville.”
