A Phi!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Couldn't happen to a nicer guy.

Ok....the Jackass Question of the Day ....

"If you KNEW you was going to Canada, and YOU KNOW you are in trouble with the law...and YOU are the mayor....wouldn't common SENSE tell you to contact the courts first before you travel????




(Sen I....you need to buzz me ASAP)

I didn't click the articles and assumed this was about the "rapping producer-turned-producer" Kwame'.

Rock the polka dots. Then I was wondering where the A-Phi call came in.

Now I've fully plugged in my brain for the day and GET IT. Okay. :)

If he runs for re-election he'll win too.

As twisted as this logic is going to sound....think about it.....

Getting caught doing drugs is one thing....

But....

having strippers in the home, having one of those strippers murdered, having extramarital affairs, utilizing city property for personal use, spending public money put in secret funds, being accused of preferential hiring...with a list that is continuing to grow...well that may be another small ball of wax....

Don't forget the most recent.. assaulting the officer who was serving him a subpeona. Michigan's Attorney General has scheduled a press conference for 10 am tomorrow to let us know whether Kwame will be charged that one.

I'm so sick of my income taxes paying this man's salary. However, Phi Gam isn't totally off. There are still people who support this clown. It's really kind of unreal. He clearly thumbs his nose at the law arrogantly and repeatedly. Time to take him down a notch and make him realize that he is NOT invincible. Sure, Windsor is a mile away, but it's still a different country and you don't go there without letting the court know.

And our governor is planning a hearing on September 3rd regarding removing him from office. She wants to give him some semblance of "due process". Then again, give this guy enough rope and he's slowly but surely hanging himself.

This city has enough problems without this joker screwing it up even more.

I'd still call it a 50/50 chance as long as he has a "D" next to his name on the ballot. As AGD said, this guy still has supporters in spite of everything that he's done.

And let's not forget the death threat against the DA.....d a for him should stand for DUMB @SS....I swure...this is not his game for him to play especially when he proves so inept at playing

The latest: During the appeal this morning, the circuit court judge set new bond requirements, $50K cash, no travel and wearing a tether.

Immediately following, State Attorney General announced they are charging him with two counts of felonious assault.

The news is also reporting that his attorneys are trying to set up a plea agreement on the perjury charges.

Seriously, what a joke.

ETA: Daemon? Just curious about your interest in this story.. are you from Detroit? (Don't think you're living here now ...)

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

I'm sure his huge ego HATES that.

In the last several Mayoral elections, the only candidates had Ds next to their name. It's an unusual city.. Republicans don't even bother running and there are frequently two Dems running against each other.

So much like DC, the local elections are usually decided in the Democratic primary?

Yep.. although the two highest in the primary will run against each other, even if it is two Dems

^^^ That's very interesting and I've never heard of that before.

Sens...it happens in Baltimore quite frequently.....In fact I can't remember when the last time the Mayor of Baltimore was a Republican

This article about Freman Hendrix (who ran against Kilpatrick in the last election and really should have won) shows all the candidates who ran in the primary.. all were Ds.

Update on the Kwame case: For the two felonious assault charges, he got $25K bond (accepting 10%), agreed the terms of the other bond (no travel, GPS) and added a condition that he not have contact with the witnesses in the new case. So, he's outta jail again.

Oh man hope you're joking.

Add to that list the whole Escalade incident. Or was it Navigator? Either way, expensive SUV.

:confused:

Another city known for high crime rates and corruption.

Make it 3/3 for high crime rates and corruption.

Your mother.

and where do you live again?

Tallahassee... :confused:

Updates: Kwame is out of jail and on a tether. One judge said today he didn't have to keep the tether (for the perjury case) and lifted travel restrictions saying he could go to the DNC. Tether is removed. Judge on the assault case says no way, he needs the tether for that bond and is still restricted to remain in the tri-county area (metro Detroit only) and cannot go to the DNC.

DNC says they don't want him at the convention, don't want his superdelegate vote and feel he'd just be a distraction.

So to summarize: Democratic Mayor= High Crime rates and Kwame is a scumbag. Killing hookers isn't very original either.

Stay there.

In fact if I can remember correctly...Tallahassee ain't exactly a sleepy lil' town either....especially in comparsion to Gainsville.....right?

I think Kwame would be a scumbag regardless of his political affiliation. He just is. There are plenty of other scumbags who call themselves Republican. Bottom line is, they're just weak and arrogant people, I don't care what lever they claim to pull or core they try to cater to. Absolute power continues to corrupt absolutely.

we call these scumbags.....politicians...heheheh

Kwame's GF, Christine Beatty is publicly saying that she will gladly testify against him for immunity. Why this now? Apparently the text messages show that he wasn't just cheating on his wife, he was also cheating on his mistress. I don't think they're going to give her immunity... I think they have enough evidence without her testimony, but this is worse than a soap opera!

Its a drinking town, we have more DUIs than speeding tickets.

Because a few people here seem to care...

Today, Kwame was arraigned on the assault on the police officer charges. He was offered a plea bargain.. they would drop one of the two felonious assault charges if he resigned from office by September 3rd (the date the governor is having a removal hearing). They decided to think on it. His legal team has come back and said no way.

September 3rd can't get here soon enough. Word is that Jennifer Granholm is getting pressure from the Democratic Party and even from Obama to remove this joker from office.

So, the Governor began hearings today to remove him from office. Then, after a full day of hearings, this came out:

http://www.clickondetroit.com/news/17383212/detail.html

Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick is expected to accept a plea deal on Thursday in his perjury case that will end his tenure as the city's mayor and send him to jail.

Sources told Local 4 the mayor is expected in court at 9 a.m. Thursday in front of Wayne County Circuit Court Judge David Groner, where he will reportedly go on record and plead guilty to a deal that includes jail time, a six-figure restitution, community service and a mandate that he would not run for office again.

First, I love every Alpha brother.

Second, it's definitely time to step back Effie, I mean Kwame.

Finally, I think the plea deal is fair EXCEPT barring him from running for another office. That just seems..eh... I dunno, infringatory. lol

Here in Oklahoma, we had a similar thing happen with our former Democratic governor. He committed perjury, a felony.

Instead of putting him through the ringer as Mayor Kilpatrick has experienced, the courthouse was opened up "special" for the governor at 7 P.M. where he pled out to a completely unrelated misdemeanor.

Your Detroit mayor is guilty of one major infraction -- alienating himself enough from the powers that be that such a charge would actually stick.

From other things I've read, I think it will be that he can't run for office for 5 years.

He's done a lot more than that, Kevin. Or are you saying that was his biggest mistake?

I'd say so, from the article:
Love that he's getting jail time, would have been fun to see the Governor yank him from office, though. :p

I think you need to read and learn a little more about the situation. Detroit has tried to get a better reputation and as far as most Southeastern Michiganders say, it IS a lot better (Downtown area). All Kwame has done is made the city look even worse than it was.

He physically assaulted someone.... a LEGAL OFFICIAL. He committed perjury. And everyone is pretty sure he is hiding information about the murder of a stripper after a party at HIS mansion, which adds on to I don't know how many other stories about Kwame's connection to it.

He was asked to resign by multiple people, including the pastor from HIS OWN CHURCH. He never wanted to stand down, even when everyone knew he was lying. He continued to prance around town like a pimp and today, while our Governor was in court to get his ass out of office, he was shown driving with his little punkass son who was laughing and pretending to shoot hoops out of the passenger side window. And can I add that during his State of the City speach, his kids were laughing, looking like little mini Pimp Kwame's, and it looked like they didn't care, just like they're father.

Detroit and our court systems didn't put him through the ringer. He put himself through the ringer, embarrassed his family, embarrassed our city, and has put numerous city employees (police officers and others) through hell. So really, he's guilty of NUMEROUS infractions.

Please. Learn about a topic before you go spouting off.
