+4tech69 Try 18 months. And this is a crime against humanity, I believe an execution is in order? To drastic? How about sitting around for 18 months waiting for "Democracy" to make a change. It's time to wake up. It's obvious the gov doesn't give one flying FUCK about Flint. Stop demanding justice and take it....
+Nate Hodges Right, here in America, they always do protests and what not. That never does shit at all because the cops just ruin it and you get nothing but more violence from the cops. Fight fire with fire then i guess.
There is no excuse for this. Michigan has plenty of fresh water sources; it's bordered by most of the Great Lakes. This is what happens when you turn a necessity into a product to be bought like a luxury or a service. You need water.
While it is true that you are never 7 miles from a fresh water source in Michigan, those water sources are usually small and would not be enough for any town. Have you not seen that there are a lot of cities in the middle of Michigan?
It wasn't just the salt that caused the problems. it was the fact that they didn't treat the new water before sending it to the residents which caused the pipes to corrode. Most water is treated so this doesn't happen. But they skipped steps and it caused this atrocious crime.
Gov. Synder is/was running Michigan like a business. His strategy to save money was to install Emergency Managers in cities that were in bad shape. So, he used a top down (corporate) approach in Flint to balance the budget. Turns out the EM had to only report to Gov. Synder -- devoid of the people of Flint, the mayor, and the city council. This is a prime example of what happens when people elect a business model into the governorship. You get people who will undermine the people of cities in whichever way possible to save money. They are just being good capitalists, by the way. The social costs are what we are currently seeing. Capitalism has an instinctual resistance towards social ails as Capitalism only cares about making/saving as much money as possible. People in Michigan got what they voted for (or because they didn't come out to vote).
Flouride in our water is a good thing due to it's health benefits on out teeth and it NOT being toxic. Also if rat poop was found in our food the FDA would immediately shut that place down. I have a word of advice for you. "READ A BOOK!!!!!!!!!"

This kind of thing makes me tear up. Lead is such a horrible thing. It can actually make it hard to focus on tasks and even cause insanity. I really hope those kids turn out okay. And I hope people can show sympathy and love for those who were affected. It’s a scary thing. If any kids in Flint have behavior problems, show understanding for what they may have gone through.
Can someone please tell me why is it that NOBODY is going jail over this matter? Ir how this managed to go on for so long? What actions would have been taken had this been a predominantly white neighborhood?
+Black Power No one is going to jail because it was the governor of Michigan who caused this, and of course as we know powerful politicians dont get punished for anything.
I’m from Michigan mainly Grand Rapids but when the water problem was not happening my mom and my 2 brothers were living in flint and we are SO lucky we moved to Atlanta because flint now is so horrible it really is and it’s sad to see it for the ppl who lived in flint there whole lives to see it like this
Every Michigan consumer who was affected by this should not just be financially compensated for emotional and physcial damages but also be granted new locations for as long as the problem is there since it's the city that caused this!
According to reports, Michigan officials gave the run around and denied any serious problem from the beginning although they were well aware of how bad the problem was. There are criminals in the Michigan government and the people must make sure those criminals are charged with appropriate crimes.
Why didn't they check the water beforehand? And why haven't they reverted to Detroit's in the meantime? Fun fact: In my country(The Netherlands), we get to elect the people who check everything water-related. A Water Board or "Waterschap" in Dutch is a regional government body. They have nothing to do with provinces or cities. Each party says pretty much the same thing and not a lot of people care about the Water Board politics and even the officials of the water boards say there is no need for an election process, as the decisions give very bad consequences if a mistake is made.
+the11382 Flint WAS on Detroit's water - In April 2014 they switched to Flint River Water ( with NO filters to stop the lead coming in ). Now the pipes are bad! They switched back to Detroit water but its too late.
I was born and raised in flint I have been sending in water but I need to reach more people and send more... can I have permission to use your video to use for raising money?
people responsible need to be arrested and jailed and homes affected by this need to be compensated and have their children treated by highly skilled professions
this is a damn shame. bow where are these ppl going to get water from??? we all know about detroits,water problem. all those ppl should be given $2000 to pack up and move
I have friends in flint and its silly what their paying 3 times what I pay for water 60 min south of them and they can't even drink it , so they are also paying for drinking water at the store

Republican Logic - "To keep all Americans safe" and look after ordinary Americans" Normal Person - "Ok, cool, but what about water and healthcare?"

Jack Jones With they being said though you did comment that before the DNC paradigm change run by JDs and CDs where they actually became pro Mccain ironically so I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt.
Mercury poisoning is worse than lead poisoning. And ricin, the poison, can kill within days. THERE ARE WORSE THINGS OUT THERE THAN LEAD. I'm not saying that lead is bad, I'm saying that you're stupid.
It depends where the lead is, but eventually the body gets rid of it. If you had lead poiseing while you gave birth and put lead in the bones of the baby then in 10 years she had a baby then that could last for 3-4+ generations.

tarqhasahemi Michigan has a republican gov with a republican house and state, they don't produce liberal policies.

Its a real shame trying to save 2 million could cost 1 billion. Detroit 8 months in was willing to waive 4 million bucks if they hooked back up to Detroit again, the Emergency manager said NO!
This all comes down to money in politics. We need campaign finance reform. The only person talking about this is Bernie. You vote for someone else you are voting for more of the same.
There should be prison sentences handed out for this. Nothing less. You cover up this and poison kids/people for nine months.
* cough cough* POLITICIANS DO THIS A LOT!

you see whats like to be in a third world country. but you will then get clean water back and start wasting it again!

very sad indeed, all our prayers
but Michael Moore who is a native of Flint Michigan, spoke about such a horrible thing in an old documentary of him

Tried to cut costs, and now are having to pay more out. Instead of worrying about the bottom line, worry about the citizens.
The state has offered 10mill??? I just watched over 22 million dollars of work be put in to a sound company moving into the building I work. Wtf....

Disgusting! The politicians who decided to not do anything after the obvious are to be hanged for this (not literally)!
This is worse than the CA "Drought" did people get sick when CA was in a "drought?"
If this ever happened to my state I'm done.
This country is going ...down the drain, telling you
This will happen across America soon sadly
yup

Michigan, a state with 5 great lakes , a state with trillions of gallons of fresh water. WOW!
A big shame to a modern country.
I was born and raised in flint I have been sending in water but I need to reach more people and send more... can I have permission to use your video to use for raising money?
i only watched this cause tonight one of my brothers said come look at the water and i live in kalamazoo
people responsible need to be arrested and jailed and homes affected by this need to be compensated and have their children treated by highly skilled professions
As an american, i think its time for us to point the finger at the person who caused all this and shout: "THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT!!!!"
Salt water didn't corrode the pipes, chlorine was found in it which what did that.
The Governor needs to held accountable.
The Governor should step down, this is intolerable and should be punish for committing such crime.
this is a damn shame. bow where are these ppl going to get water from??? we all know about detroits,water problem. all those ppl should be given $2000 to pack up and move
Put those in charge in Jail. Hook up their single source of water to this contaminated garbage for 9 months.
+Johnny Boy 9 months? try 20 months. April 2014 is the date when they started taking the water from the Flint River.
hi this happened to my 7 year old sister and she died from lead poisning too
grossest way you can treat another human being as if they are not human.
The only thing more disgusting than Flint water is the fact that nobody is fixing this problem.
so why can’t they switch back to detroit’s water supply ?
the same thing happened in cmha in cleveland i,very called about it to the mayors line
Why not just move out of Flint? If it's that bad? There are plenty of places within the country to go.
I have friends in flint and its silly what their paying 3 times what I pay for water 60 min south of them and they can't even drink it , so they are also paying for drinking water at the store
Funny also how everyone assumes their states have clean water. Like flint is the only town in all the usa that has old pipes.
Snyder needs to look at what the Japanese leaders do when found to be this negligent and dishonorable.
Naw you have to throw the whole town away
Didn't know a third world country had access to high end electronics and transportation devices and democracy. I must be leaving under a rock. /s
Is this water crisis continuing to this day?
thats evil what they are doing. toxic water! thats evil
also the flint river is nicknamed the general motors sewage line

Also lead in the blood is gotten rid of in the blood stream at about 20 days.
just intall a filter on the faucet
You know your city has a problem when a bankrupt city has better water than you
Flint went bankrupt first
that's when you know it's pee
lol
This is not fair to flint city that their water is poision
Can lifestraw save this?
'
come on america in flint...
time to fix new pipes, new water filters to cleans water...
dont worry about currencys
Governor should be in prison.
so sad and terrible
If this is allowed it's only the beginning
What city is next,
This is happening to my place but it was just the rain that did it

That picture of the Detroit water would still have me concerned even if they switched back....
+ATK Detroits water has won awards in the past. Its clean. Lets remember where we are at. Michigan ( surrounded by 5 Great Lakes )
Did you impale Rick Snyder yet?
God I hope Gov Snyder goes to jail!!!
She's an actor
Some people in third world countries have better water than this lady.
This what comes out of every tap it just doesn't look the same the PH level of tap is very acidic you guys stop drinking and bathing in it.
I'm from flint lol it's a shame
Third world country? US is actually a third world country whit nuclear weapons xd
How many Democratic mayors has Flint elected in a row?
Environmental racism at it’s finest...
