- "They murdered my business!" car wash owner Dale Davenport tells me.
Dallas politicians crushed his life's work. They blamed his car wash for high crime, citing Dale's own 911 calls as evidence that there was crime around his car wash. They then re-zoned his business to destroy it.

It seems very unfair. Davenport complied with all sorts of city requests aimed at keeping crime low.
"They said 'build a six-foot fence.' I built an eight-foot fence," he tells me. "Then they said, 'put up signs.' I already had signs up, so I put up more signs. Then they told me to put up lights. I already had lights up, so I put up more lights."
The city also demanded that Davenport hire security guards at his car wash, but:
“When I did hire guards, they... told me, you've hired the wrong guard company... there was a city councilman that had an armed guard company that they wanted me to tender my business to." Dale says.
We contacted all 14 current city council members. Not one would agree to talk to me about that.
They shut his business down using two laws. They condemned his business as a "public nuisance" and they changed his zoning without telling him. The previous zoning listed "car wash" as an acceptable business use, and he'd be operating for 20 years. But the city council voted to simply delete car wash from the zoning.
So for a year, the once-thriving car wash has just sits there-shut down.
Too bad. "It's like a good place for the community. it really is," a man on the street told a local news station.
Davenport is fighting back in court.
"This car wash has helped feed my family. It's helped put my kids through college… I know right from wrong, and this is wrong. And this is something that I needed to do. To stand up. Because this is tyranny!"
"When exposing a crime is treated as committing a crime, you are being ruled by criminals."

@Shawn Patricio the whole system is corrupt. Snowden has explained he wouldn't trust the pardon even if one was granted. A few days ago the courts ruled that he now owes 5million dollars in a case over book royalties. Funny how they can sue someone who can't legally represent themselves.

@@willh7690 As if they would let anyone represent him. If by some miracle he even had a trial, they would make sure he had a corrupt lawyer and would get everything they could on him.
Not one city council member would do an interview?
That's a major red flag.
What a surprise, the black politician is corrupt and untouchable 🙄
And way more common than you think.

One car wash owner I knew took a proactive approach, introducing himself to regular customers. He told them that he was happy to give them a place to hang out, and that they could call him at any time to report anyone causing problems for them with littering, loud music, drinking, profanity, etc.

Sue them and we all must gather together arm in arm and demand complete government oversight. No more bullshit wars for profit, plundering 3rd world countries for our convenience. They will battle us by using greed against ourselves.
Unfortunately we the taxpayer would pay for the politician's counsel. So we lose either way.
Suing is only part way effective against the swamp rats. You need a more permanent solution. If the new set of public servants dont comply? The next set. Repeat as necessary.

@battletoad You hit the nail on the head!
@Andre the Giant Has a posse already had me some...COVID has perpetrated a MASSIVE overreaction and power grab by government
@Andre the Giant Has a posse I don't think covid is fake but the cost we are paying is higher than the disease. For example. Let's say the average American was under lockdown for 12 weeks (I know every person is different but on average). With 330 million people that is 3.9 billion weeks lost. As the average person has 4,000 weeks in their entire life, this is equivalent to 975,000 entire lives lost. In other words the lock downs cost 975,000 lives so to justify them we needed to save a minimum of 975,000. That's not all, the average person to die from covid probably would have only 1,000 weeks to live if they didn't die from covid so every covid life saved adds only 1,000 weeks. So to justify the lockdown we needed to save 3.9 million people. I doubt we did that.
@Andre the Giant Has a posse Look at Sweden. No lockdown, no masks and they have a death per capita of 53 per 100,000 where as the US which had lock downs and mask has a death rate of 53.4 per 100,000 and as of September 4th Sweden is averaging just 2 deaths per day from covid while the US is averaging over 800 per day. Clearly lockdowns don't work in the long run.
And one big planned scam.

All public "servants" should be investigated ANNUALLY!
And if found to be corrupt, they get TEN TIMES THE PUNISHMENT!!!
Yikes! How expensive would that be? A whole set of laws and a fully staffed department to monitor the politicians? Besides, who would monitor that department? What if they are bribed into corruption like the politicians they are policing?
Hang em' publicly to get the msg across
I understand the sentiment but perhaps something less costly and similar to the first Democracy. Restrict office by contract. So require candidates to issue a public contract of what their intentions are for the position, if they win and are elected make the Contract be part of their Oath and Legally Bind them to it. Failing to uphold the Contract should trigger a penalty similar to the ancient ways, whereby failure to meet their obligation they are exiled or banned from holding office again for a 10 year period. Make all legal Penalties for violating standing Law while in Office double. So, theft and fraud via stealing or credit card fraud lands hosts of people in jail for the crime and back out after a year, have a city politician who engages in fraud face automatic doubling of the Penalty as a representative of the Law Violating it is worse than the average non-bound citizen. Literally write a really Stiff Oath Breaker Penalty into Campaign and Civil Law. Violation of Oath should be considered a Violation of all Citizens Civil Rights. Engaging in Criminal Activity while an Oath Bearer should be considered a form of Sedition, for willfully depriving their Community of their rights.
100% agree. With hard labor as part of their sentence.
Agreed.
Can you imagine how corrupt you have to Be to get charged as a Democrat in a Democrat city....
Maybe because they didn't give the other Democrats their cut so they snitched them.

Sounds like Dallas wanted that property for a friend or for the city.
I have seen that happen several times. Near where I used to live, there was an old man who had some prime riverfront property he'd owned for something like 50 years, had bought it pre WW2 when land was cheap. Local developers wanted it to build condos on. He would not sell at any price. SO, they raised his property assessment to what the land MIGHT be worth if you put $100,000,000. worth of condos on it. He could not pay, and his land was auctioned off for the tax bill. THEN, it was reassessed at only a few % of the earlier assessment, and that is what the new developers paid in taxes going forward. So, through a series of legal wrangling, they stole the old man's land from him, and ultimately built condos on it. Which, BTW, were subsidized by the city indirectly as the city paid for wider and better roads to the area.
There is only one way that a country with so much ethical, moral and financial corruption can go, and that is down the tubes. Quite deservedly so.
BINGO, with a hefty cash kickback to certain council member's re-election funds...
If not one city council member would agree to an interview, it sounds like it's time for you boys in Dallas to elect all new city council members!!!!
@Vance Sloan
The 14 city council members that are referred to in this video,used to be all new city council members at some point in the past who were elected to get rid of other corrupt city council members. I constantly hear foolish people who vote say well we have to elect better people. Well I've got news for you, there aren't any better people. Every time you vote for someone, you're not voting for a good person, you're just choosing the next set of garbage people. But I digress because you fools will never stop voting, because you're not smart enough, or you just simply enjoy being screwed over, or both, and I suspect it's both!
Thank you, John Stossel, for shining a light on this darkness 💙
There's an even bigger story related to the City salaries and police defunding that I wish he would cover. The City Manager (T.C. Broadnax) of Dallas earns more money than the President of the United States!!! ($406,850 vs 400,000). Also the same City Manager earns more than double what the Texas Attorney General makes ($406,850 vs $154,000). All members voted unanimously to not cut their bloated salaries all while voting to defund the police. DISGUSTING! Search for the news story. The Mayor is not happy with city council.

Donate to Stossel. I did. Keep the investigative journalism going............ he is one of the only people doing this type of work and it is very much needed. This should be mandatory viewing for public schools, both K-12 and colleges.
Mr. Stossel you are the last honest journalist left in America. To report these dishonest corrupt politicians is really a bravery. I admire your courage and honesty.
if there's so much crime near that Car Wash maybe the police should go there more often
People go there to wash their cars, if they think the crime has stopped because it’s closed, they are fools.
The police beef might be with getting called (his 911 calls) when they would rather not bother.
This reminds of the trend towards non-enforcement of shoplifting complaints.

Once upon a time I had a girlfriend who wanted me to get involved in politics and run for city or state office. I told her I'd never get elected. She said "Yes you can! You can do it if you put your heart and mind into it!" She didn't like my reply, which was "To be a successful politician, I'd have to cheat on you with multiple women, lie to my constituents, take bribes, dominate citizens and cheat on my taxes. That is where my heart and mind would have to be - and trust me - THAT'S NOT ME!" Our relationship lasted about a week after that. She was a proud Bill Clinton supporter.
You wouldn't have to do those corrupt things to become a politician. A lot of that corruption happens because a lot of power hungry and narcissistic people become politicians. It's not easy to become a politician. It takes a lot of energy, focus, drive, and ambition. Those are neutral qualities to have, neither good or bad. But they are intense qualities, and qualities which naturally power hungry and narcissistic people often have an abundance of.
Corrupt people oftentimes have a lot of energy and strength and an "evil genius" quality to them and figure out how to get into positions of power like a "councilman".
Let's be honest, most of the people who watched this video and are commenting about how messed up this situation is and want to help this guy are the kinds of people who really should be a councilman and politician, because they're good and decent people.
BUT, we're also a little lazy aren't we? Let's be honest. We're a little laid back and just taking it easy watching Johnny Stoss on the TH-cams while some corrupt and sleazy a-hole is wheeling and dealing and hustling hard to become a councilman and get Power, which is all he cares about. A lot of these people only care about power, they don't care about helping society.
You seem like a good guy and would probably be a good and decent politician. But let's be honest who wants to go through all the craziness involved in becoming a politician? It's not really fun or easy to do. It's hard work and very complicated. I myself wouldn't get any pleasure or fun from going through the process required. Power hungry people have the drive necessary because their lust for the power of the position pushes them through, but a lot of us good guys watching TH-cam we just want to take it easy. Let us be honest.
Plato said "One of the penalties for refusing to participate in politics is that you end up being governed by your inferiors".
What's wrong with cheating on your taxes?
Someone wants that business and they want him to sell it at a loss.
Keep doing what you are doing! Thanks Stossel

If one studies the past, seeking truth, one will understand the present.
So much for, "If your state has gone corrupt, move to Texas."
geoh7777, that’s exactly what happened, but then the people who came kept voting the same way, corrupting the cities even further.
That’s why people say “come to Texas to be a Texan, leave your old politics behind.”
But it never seems to work that way.
God bless this man for making his stand. When he cracked at the end, I felt that.
Great news report. I hope his business is able to open up again!
"Rules for thee but not for me"
Reminds me of what Jesse Ventura said about politicians: Democrips and Rebloodlicans.
I rarely get notifications of your videos even though I am fully subscribed. Thank you Mr. Stossel for your enlightening reporting.
Thanks John.
Right when I was thinking, l wonder which Dallas politician owns a competing car wash...
Hell yeah lest get rid of the electoral college to enable more Party competition
Chad west a dallas city councilman is building a new car wash close to my closed business thx for being a thinker thx Dale Davenport 214-801-4451
Someone must have seen a Trump sign in his yard, now he's in the city's crosshairs.
RINO Trump has done more socialism and gun control than Obama.
@@barfo281 How so?
@@matthewk6731 well trump banned bump stocks
@@kazkikongokiller6447 That's all you have?
@@matthewk6731 You don't understand the legal precedent this sets... Since the executive branch has already had 0 issues banning firearm accessories, why not do it again when the time is right? Like, say, banning magazines that hold over 10 rounds? You know, "for the children".
We need an update on this!!
John is a member of a dying breed. An investigative journalist who actually does journalism and investigates things. He's not a talking head like everyone on cable news and all, but instead he actually works on stories about the things people care about
*_THE GOVERNMENT TAKES MY LUNCH MONEY EVERY DAY._*
And gives you roads, schools, protects your rights and safety, helps the poor and takes care of the elderly
Lunch money?... more like a nice dinner with drinks!
@@freddy6837 😆 😅 😂 🤣
@@freddy6837 wait, you have those ?
I bet there no longer poors in your area, and elders are happy too.
Are those roads maintained ? Also how is the public school curriculum ?
This is why politicians allow big businesses to continue working, cause they can afford to give them millions. While small businesses fail across the country.
thanks for getting this out ! we all should appreciate it!
This man is absolutely correct, the city of Dallas is minority owned and corrupt. We discovered this when attempting to provide a proposal for chemicals to the Dallas County Schools. Rather than "great, maybe we can save the taxpayers money and provide a better product," we heard, "perhaps you should drop a campaign donation of about $5k to the County Commissioner in charge of this and a bucket of cell phones and I'm sure he/she will listen to you" . This was back in 1998 roughly but we ran into the exact same situation in Louisiana working again on a proposal to provide chemicals to service the Airport at MSY. We went to Florida and found real business people with an honest business sense and we found success until 9-11 destroyed the business we had built.
You can’t win when it’s the government choosing who wins and who loses
Tucson Jim I didn’t call it “oppressive”. Also, it’s easy to conceal it when the media conveniently ignores certain details
I came from the 2million dollar bathroom, I’m glad I found this channel from that video, very well informed channel👍
Jonh keep up the great work we need more like you.
Thank you!
Poor man. Wake up people.
