Who would think that Detroit, also known as the nationās murder capital, is a bad place to wear a $20K gold necklace in broad daylight?
A Detroit man identified as āJamalā by local Detroit news WDIV, was relieved of the $20,000 gold chain he purchased after a $30,000 lottery win.
A video shows Jamalās attackers scoping his mad bling as he pays for his gas in a Detroit neighborhood that neighborhoodscout.com rates number two out of 100 for safety, suggesting that this neighborhood is safer than only 2% of neighborhoods in the U.S.
āI was just like looking around making sure nobody was trying to get my chain,ā Jamal told WDIV outside the Mobil gas station where he was assaulted and robbed. āThey had grabbed me, tackled me down.ā
The video then shows Jamal going back to his car as the three waiting attackers chase him down for his frippery. He attempts to run back into the gas station, a pointless gesture, as two women inside simply watch Jamal lose his doubloons as well as something in his pocket. Jamal gets punched and kicked until one of the brigands snatches the gold.

JoeB131, is this that Jamal you keep telling me about? You should have told your friend to invest in pepper spray, rather than a $20,000 gold chain.

Questions Remain
WDIV news didnāt think to ask Jamal why he didnāt spend his $30,000 winnings to move out of one of the worst neighborhoods in the United States...Why would you wear a $20,000 necklace to buy gas?[WATCH] Motor City Shakedown: Detroit Man Wins $30K Lottery, Spends $20K on Chain, Has It Snatched
