KK has held Detroit hostage for the last 9 months. He is still only looking for what is in his own best interest and not what is in the interest of the citizens of this great city. His selfishness has not only tarnished the image of the city but he has also caused a black eye upon the entire region. If the prosecuter allows him plea and not allow a public court hearing, we as citizens would again be on the receiving end of a secret corrupt system that doles out unequal justice for everyone else. He still feels that he is priviledged, while having the adasity to continue making demands for a deal. Did those cops he fired also have a right to make demands? I don't think so. Were they going to be allowed to provide for their famlies had they not brought to light what was going on in the dark? I don't think so. I think he and Christine made their bed, so now they should have to lie in it. He has been charged with felonie, let it play out in court and allow the citizens to see that our justice system does indeed work. miss berne

WHAT IS SOOOOOOO FUNNY IN COURT THAT HE CAN LAUGH? HE HAS THOSE PUBLIC SMILES AND PRIVATE TEARS -- LOOKING AT THE MAN IN THE MIRROR AND WANTING TO CUT HIS THROAT IN PRIVATE! HE STILL SHOOK HIS HEAD TO TRY TO CONVINCE THE PUBLIC WHILE HE WAS IN COURT THIS MORNING THAT HE IS INNOCENT OF ANY PUSHING AND SHOVING JUST FOR SYMPATHY. DOES HE ACTUALLY THINK THAT NAMING THAT LAUNDRY LIST OF THINGS IS GOING TO MAKE THE CITY/PUBLIC FORGET HIS MISDEEDS AND DECEITFUL MISUSE OF POWER? HE SAID "WHY DIDN'T SOMEONE TELL THIS BOY TO MAKE BETTER JUDGMENTS?" KK IS SUPPOSE TO KNOW WHAT TO DO IF HE WAS TO LEAD THE CITY AND SHOULD BE MATURE ENOUGH TO USE GOOD JUDGEMENT. SAD THAT HE IS BLAMING GOV. GRANHOLM INSTEAD OF HIMSELF. HE STATED THAT HE AND HIS WIFE ARE CLOSER! BUT HE TORE THE CITY APART!! THIS IS NOT THE END FOR HIS LEGAL, MARITAL OR MONETARY WOES. HE WILL NEVER BE A FREE MAN! ALL THE MONEY HE IS SPENDING AND BEING SUED FOR WILL NOT BUY HIS PARDON OR ANY INTEGRITY THE PEOPLE OF THE DETROIT THOUGHT HE HAD.

WHEN HE GETS IN JAIL, THEY WILL SAY BEND OVER SISTER BIG STUFF.

All this thieving started in kk's first term. Give him nothing. What other person would get six month's of pay to support their family after stealing from your job. Most people would have been walked out the door by security before they could steal another dime. KK has been allowed to continue in his position for month's after all came to light. So he is still able to take what ever he want's from the city. I say to the preacher's who want to make sure kk has money to spend should reach into their bank account's and they can give kk the money themselves. After all some of that money was probably bilked from the city anyway. The court's don't reward criminals with a pay check. Felon's are left to get their own lives back once they are let out of jail. No one should treat YALL'S BOY like he is better then any other felon. He is ready to plead guilty to felonies. What more does it take? The only thing kk desrves is jail just like joe six pack.

I don't live in Detroit but did work in Detroit at one time. Its a Beautiful city and has a lot to offer however all the beauty and offerings of this over 300 year old city is being over shadowed by this political chaos. The people and the city of Detroit deserve better than what they are getting from an individual who was sworn to serve and it appears that the only one being served here is "Sir Kwame Kilpatrick!" Why is he so specail? Presidents have been impeached for such shenanigans. If he truly loves the City of Detroit as he claims and cares about the people of Detroit he would do the honorable thing and step down and not bring the city and the state down more than he already has. How can the City "Move Forward" as he says when everything he has done has only continued the sad progression of facts, innuuendoes, media hype and of course lets not forget the continuing exodus of the taxpayeres hard earned dollars to tie up the courts and the city counsel and everything that really matters the people of Detroit and surrounding communities. His party would proably like to see this go away also as he does not represent his pary well at their time of need.

I was very disappointed that ANY deal was offerred. But I was very pleased that KK was too stupid to take it. I want him prosecuted to the fullest extent on each and every one of the 10 felony counts. The young people of Detroit and the suburbs need to see him go to jail for his lying, cheating, and stealing from the city. We need to see as many photos of him behind bars as possible. It won't get any of the millions and millions of dollars he has cost us, but it will be very gratifying to actually see him paying, and to know that young men and women will not be emulating him.

sweetlady9911:

WHERE IS THE HIDDEN BANK ACCOUNTS IN THIS HATCHETT JOB ON THE MAYOR? AND WHO ARE THE RECEIPIENTS?

MAYOR KILPATRICK, STAND STRONG LIKE FORMER MAYOR YOUNG AND KICK SOME ASS FOR A CHANGE WITHOUT BEING SO HUMBLE. WHILE IT IS NORMAL TO APPEAR HUMBLE AND TO APOLOGISE, DOING SO IN DETROIT WILL GET YOU TERMINATED FROM YOUR JOB. BE REAL AND DO NOT RESIGN

What hatchet job? KK is also NOT humble. He never has been and never will be, until he's being careful not to bend over to pick up the soap! Everything that's happening to KK was brought on KK by HIMSELF....Nobody is out to get him. The only thing the people wish for is justice. Now go sit in a corner somewhere and pray for KK because he's going to need all the prayers he can get, though even though God may hear the prayers, he knows that justice is necessary and that it's time for this to end and give the city back to the people. KK himself knows he's guilty of probably more than the public will ever know. So far, we only know what he's been caught doing. Are you blind? An innocent person does not ask for a pardon, nor do they mention a deal. Both of which he's done. And I'm not talking about the deal recently offered to him but his "suggestion" of a deal before today's court arraignment.

I'kgr nevreee sss, Damn - I was laughing so hard I can't type! I've never seen such delusional B.S.!! "WHERE IS THE HIDDEN BANK ACCOUNTS?!" ASK KWAME, FOOL!!! WHO ARE THE RECEIPIENTS? KWAME'S FAMILY AND FRIENDS, WHO THE FOCK DO YOU THINK!!!!

Maybe "sweetlady9911" is getting some Kwame "salami?" - that's OK if it cost you a few million!, must've been REAL good!!

reverend G:
tommytom47:
the mayor is not guity of anything hes charge with crime but he is not guilty of anything give the guy a break.the great coleman young was acused of helping steal 250 kilo of cocain an he beat it an he is the grestest mayor we have had.my point let everything play out who knows what will happen the mayor could not be convicted an become greatest mayor of detroit.i will vote for him again,again,again.

You go right ahead and do that. I know people who beat their heads against walls repeatedly too, of course they have put them in rubber rooms for their own protection. Actually saying the mayor isn't guilty is a misnomer, I am 100% convinced of his guilt, he has not been CONVICTED!

Are you sure you aren't leroyleroy that comments on a lot of the news stories? You sound just like him tommytom. Coleman was a crook and yes he got away with a lot...more than he should have, but nobody would stand up to him either, just like with KK. Archer had us headed in a good direction, but who knows what he saw, that caused him to not wish to run for another term. Hendrix was another bright light yet somehow KK managed to get voted in a second time. There were a lot of blinded citizens when he was re-elected. So now present day, we have this mess and there is no way the city can continue in this manner. All we can hope for is that there aren't that many with tommytom's point of view, as KK could serve another term. I don't believe there enough Wayne county citizens left that would cause KK to be elected again...Thank God...though stranger things have happened. Detroit just needs a mayor with integrity that is honest...whether black or white...someone that cares more about the city than lining their pockets and wishes to move the city into the future. There are so many positive things about Detroit, that it's a shame to waste them when the future could be so much better for every citizen both in Detroit and in the state.

I agree reverend....he's 100% guilty of at least 1 of the charges against him...but all you have to do is understand why the settlement was approved until a call to KK, because the original settlement documents included comments about Skytel Text messages and Christine Beatty's mortgage on her house AND the previous home she owned while still living with her hubby. Then all of a sudden, KK signed a document rejecting the approved settlement (which was before the council saw the original)...then magically the "Confidentiality Agreement" was written with both KK and CB's signature on it and the original settlement documents were changed and Skytel and mortgage statements were gone..and those messages were to be "buried away" in a safe deposit box for nobody to ever see...wow...I could go on and on... If you have some free reading time..just visit

http://www.michigan.gov/gov/0,1607,7-168-23442_50699---,00.html

and view all the documents thus far in this case. Probably take a couple hours or so to read through them all, though I have.

There have been lies, deception, trickery from the beginning by KK....Granholm should have NO reason not to remove him from office just on misconduct alone....even without the felony assault charges pending. KK broke the trust of the people that elected him and screwed many to get where he's at today. Must suck being down in that hole looking up at the sky huh KK? The only icing on the cake will come when Carlita is found guilty of assaulting Tamara Greene (Lt. Kearns from EMS knows)....and when the person that murdered TG and the other dancer to cover it all up comes out. Whew...that was a mouthful...LOL.
