"DETROIT (WXYZ) — A man was fatally shot at an unauthorized barbershop business inside a Detroit school Friday night, police said."

....Officers went to the school to investigate. When they got there, they learned that a contracted janitor at the school was running an unauthorized “barbershop-style operation” in the back of the school after hours.

Police said someone texted the janitor saying they wanted a haircut. Another person arrived at the school and opened fire on the janitor’s customer during his hair cut.

The victim was a 21-year-old man, police said.

The janitor was not hurt."


...and a week ago:

"DETROIT (WXYZ) — Two men in their 30s were shot and killed Wednesday night at Flyy Cutz barbershop on Greenfield and Trojan on Detroit's west side in what police are calling a targeted attack."

...The shooting happened around 9:20 p.m. Wednesday, leaving the barbershop community devastated and searching for answers."



...I always tip my barber. I feel bad for him because he's bald and his livelihood depends on people whose problem is too much hair.

Barber shops amongst the Detroit negro community is something entirely different than what we are familiar with. They stay open all night and there's an implication of criminality associated with them.
