IN 1967, DETROIT WAS PLAGUE BY VIOLENT RIOTS THAT STARTED ON 12TH STREET & CLAIRMOUNT. A LARGE PART OF THE CITY WAS DESTROYED BY ARSON FIRE. MOST OF DAMAGE WAS CAUSED BY ANGRY AFRICAN AMERICAN RIOTERS. SADLY, A LOT OF THE AFRICAN AMERICAN COMMUNITIES IN DETROIT WAS DESTROYED. MORE SADLY, IT WAS DESTROYED BY AFRICAN AMERICANS RIOTERS. THE INCIDENT WAS SPARKED BY RACIAL TENSION AND THINGS ASSOCIATED WITH THAT. THE BREAKING POINT TOOK PLACE AT A BLIND PIG ON 12TH & CLAIRMOUNT. THE INCIDENT THAT STARTED IT ALL WAS POLICE BRUTALITY ON AFRICAN AMERICANS THAT TOOK PLACE AT THE BLIND PIG. IT WAS A DIFFERENT DETROIT BACK THEN AND RACE RELATIONS WERE MUCH DIFFERENT. AFRICAN AMERICANS SUFFERED GREATLY FROM A OPPRESSIVE SYSTEM WHICH TOOK IT'S TOLL ON THEM. THIS CAUSE THEM TO BREAK DOWN AND THEN LASH OUT. THE POLICE BRUTALLITY INCIDENT TRIGGERED IT. SADLY, THIS CITY SUFFERED FOR IT AND MADE IT WORSE FOR US ALL. THIS TENSION IS STILL FELT TODAY. THE 12TH STREET RIOTS BIRTHED VIOLENCE, ARSON, LOOTING AND MAYHEM AND SOMETHING ELSE..... "BLUE DADDY". THE MONSTER IS A BYPRODUCT OF THE NEGATIVE AND DESTRUCTION ENERGY CAUSED BACK THEN WHICH TORE APART THE CITY. THE CITY HAS NEVER BEEN THE SAME SINCE. MANY EURO-AMERICANS FLED DETROIT AFTER THE RIOTS HAPPPENED. THIS WAS CALLED BY MANY: "WHITE FLIGHT". MANY BUSINESSES, HOUSES & BUILDINGS WERE ABANDONED. SOME PEOPLE TRIED TO SELL THERE PROPERTY. THOSE WHO COULDN'T DECIDED TO BURN IT DOWN AND COLLECT THE INSURANCE MONEY. THIS USUALLY HAPPENED THE NIGHT BEFORE HALLOWEEN. OF COUSE, THIS IS ARSON AND ARSON IS ILLEGAL. THIS WERE "BLUE DADDY" COMES IN. "BLUE DADDY" HAS THE UNIQUE BUT STRANGE ABILITY TO CREATE FIRES AND HE CAN CONTROL IT'S EFFECTS. EVEN THOUGH HE LOVES FIRE, "BLUE DADDY" IS NO DUMB OUT-OF-CONTROL PYRO. HE IS A BUSINESSMAN AND A VERY CRAFTY ONE AT THAT. "BLUE DADDY" BEGAN TO STRIKE UP DEALS WITH PEOPLE WHO COULDN'T SELL THEIR PROPERTY OR JUST WANTED TO COLLECT INSURANCE MONEY. HE WOULD DRAW UP A CONTRACT, BURN-UP THE BUILDINGS TAKE THE BLAME (AS THOUGH HE RANDOMLY SET THE BUILDINGS ON FIRE) AND COLLECT 50% OF THE INSURANCE MONEY. OF COURSE NOBODY KNOWS ABOUT THIS. IT'S ALL HUSH HUSH AND A BIG SCAM THAT HAS WORKED FOR DECADES. AS THE CITY BECAME MORE POPULATED BY AFRICAN AMERICANS, "BLUE DADDY'S" CUSTOMER BASE BECAME MORE MIXED AS THE NEW CUSTOMERS WOULD PULL THE SAME SCAM AS THE EURO AMERICANS HAD DONE BEFORE THEM. ALSO, OLD BUILDINGS THAT REMAINED ABANDONED FOR DECADES AND OWNED BY EURO-AMERICANS STILL LOOK TO "BLUE DADDY" TO DO THEIR DIRTY WORK. CRACK DEALERS WOULD ALSO HIRED "BLUE DADDY" TO BURN DOWN THEIR CRACK HOUSES TO HIDE EVIDENCE FROM POLICE. "BLUE DADDY" SERVICES PEOPLE OF ALL RACES THOUGHOUT THE DETROIT METRO AREA BUT ALL OF HIS JOBS ARE IN DETROIT, HIGHLAND PARK, HAMTRAMCK, DEL RAY AND SOME PARTS OF DOWNRIVER. NO ONE KNOWS HOW OLD THE MONSTER IS OR WHERE HE CAME FROM. HIS FIRST APPERANCE WAS IN THE HEART OF THE RIOTS (IN THE MIDDLE OF IT'S DURATION) AND NEAR IT'S END. MCR/ELECTRIC OTTO
