It sure woke me up, it was a local Salem, OR radio station.  Not exactly a big market. 

Yes!! the big ole *** finally got A little  taste of what the future holds for him. To bad Tamara isnt around to see this day and to get some sweet revenge on Carlita. 5 min, into the judges decision it hit the news all over the place. Jennifer needs to start looking into getting rid of this mayor its really looking bad for her, looks kind of incompetant to me.

and just think the people of detroit voted him back in

He is not resigning because he is getting everything for free!! He can be put out of office.....if convicted!!! Who will have to bargin with him???? Nobody!!

 

My two cents, I believe the Governor wanted to leave the decision to remove KK up to the people, (or their local elected reps.) ideally, the ones who elected him, should be the ones to remove him.  Of course the Governor monitors the situation in Detroit,  she,  no doubt understands that should Mayor Kilpatrick continue to self-destruct, people will  be looking for her to step-in. I'm positive Governor Granholm when, if its required is up to the challenge. Coleman Youngs  gone to that great City Hall in the Sky,  long, long, ago, (over 20 years, I think, you could bring up a slew of politicians, living and dead, black and white and the rumors, accusations, scandels, potentional skeletons in closets. When do we let people rest in peace?  NEVER   

Kwame sould just go away.and not try to take Windsor Mayor with him cause we do not play all those games...just step down please enough is enough

Unfortunately, "little" is the operative word.  I don't think Judge Jackson ever really intended to keep Kwame in jail. His performance this morning was simply posturing. He definitely did his homework last night. He obviously spent several hours reviewing the relevant law as did Kwame's lawyers.  Unfortunately, the county's attorney apparently spent no time researching petinent law after the previous day's proceedings in Judge Giles' court.  He was completely unprepared.  He was unable to respond to a single point of law.  All he did was reiterate the facts of the case, of which all the attorneys, including Judge Jackson, were well aware.  He was obviously outclassed by both attorneys and the judge.  Therefore, it was incumbent upon him to work harder than anyone else because he lacked the skill of the others.  In stead, he did not and thus gave Judge Jackson just the opportunity he needed to let Kwame off the hook.  Judge Jckson used a very narrow interpretation of the law to get Kwame out of a much deserved jail sentence.  Doing that was obviously more important than upholding Judge Giles eminently appropriate sentence. And so it goes, more playing politics at the expense of the people of Detroit, Wayne County, and the Sate of Michigan.  Judge Jackson may have fooled some, he may have fooled a lot with his posturing.  I was not fooled.

Oh, and a word to Kim Worthy, never let that lazy and modestly competent prosecutor handle another felony case.  The stakes are much too high.  He seems suited to handle only misdemeanors.

   I'm going to take a wild guess and say with all that has been going on you can't keep up. Yesterday's hearing was an appeal on the ruling BY Judge Giles. Kilpatrick's attorney's tried to get it done immeadiately after the Judge's decision. And they were denied, so yesterdays events were necessary. The "Letter of the Law" is quite explicit. And the descretion is entirely up to the Judge that presides over the case put before them. Judge Jackson did exactly what he should have. He re-enforced the stipulations of the previous ruling. Re-set a cash bond, and stated when all the criteria is met then, and only then will the Defendant be released from custody.

   [Note.. Defendant] So I don't feel as though Kilpatrick or his attorney's got away with anything. Yesterdays preceedings left them $75,000 in the hole. And if the moron chooses to violate any provisions of his circumstances that will be forfeited just like the first $7,500. So it won't be long now. Hopefully they will waive the arraignment on the 15th and go straight to the trial. Kilpatrick's attorney's are between a rock and a hard place. And AG Cox has the key to his cell. And it is ALL Kilpatrick's doing, this time he can't blame ANYONE but himself.  

   Make that $52,500, I forgot that the 36th District Court was 10% of the $25,000. Either way it goes if he steps on his private parts again, he goes back to JAIL.

If he was white he would have left like all the other politician that's been caught in the wrong.  That's class but K.K. is a thug so that's why we are in the mess we are in.  He should not be in no position to layoff anybody in the city because he's mad that the tunnel deal didn't go thru.

   I really hate repeating myself. In order for Kilpatrick to resign, HE HAS TO ADMIT THAT HE DID SOMETHING WRONG. AND HE STILL IS NOT READY TO DO THAT YET !!!!!! AND color has nothing to do with that. Abuse of power is just that abuse of power. But you can rewind that tape for oh about 232 years, and maybe you will find that your blanket statement does not apply.

   The preamble to the Constituition begins with the first (3) three words in big bold letters "We The People". And history consistently confirms that it only applied to a certain few at the time it was written. Since then the words have been modified to include others. So if you are angry with Kilpatrick don't use color as an excuse as to why this is happening.

So very true........

As I stated before we are not dealing with a person that acknowledge the law we are dealing with a thug so thru the eyes of a thug (black or white) this is the outcome.  They don't look at the Constitution that don't exist in their mind.  He don't include hisself as "We The People" because he thinks he is GOD.  He's in another equation. He's a Thug Nut.
