August 8th, 2008

Kwame Kilpatrick was jailed after an unauthorized trip

Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick is to be released from jail on Friday, but tethered to a monitoring device, according to the latest news reports. Despite his apologies to 36th District Court Judge Ronald Giles at a hearing on Thursday, Kilpatrick (seen above in booking photo) woke up in Wayne County Jail this morning after he made an unauthorized trip out of the country. The trip apparently was in violation of the conditions of his parole on purjury charges in connection with an affair the Detroit mayor allegedly had with a co-worker. However, now the so-called hip-hop mayor faces a whole new set of problems. Read more at BET.com/News. Should he have been sent to jail?

I THINK HE SHOULD RESIGN RIGHT NOW. I MEAN GIVE UP ALREADY YOU’RE MAKING EVERYONE IN MICHIGAN LOOK VERY VERY VERY VERY BAD AT THIS POINT IN TIME. SO KK STEP DOWN RIGHT AWAY. HE’S AN VERY BAD JOKE THATS NOT FUNNY AT ALL. MY YOUNG SONS LOOK AT THIS GUY AND THINK THAT THATS THE WAY TO BEHAVE OUT IN PUBLIC AND I WILL BE D! IF THAT HAPPENS. KWAME KILPATRICK STEP DOWN AND GIVE SO ONE ELSE THE CHANCE TO BE AN BETTER MORE TRUSTWORTHY MAYOR. DETROIT DON’T NEED AN HIP-HOP MAYOR WE NEED AN MATURE MAN OR WOMAN WHO CAN CONDUCT THEMSELVES CORRECTLY NOT INCORRECTLY. SO GIVE US SOME CREDIT FOR PICK SOMEONE WHO’S NOT UP TO THE JOB OF RUNNING OUR DETROIT CITY , MOTOR CITY, MOTOWN FAMILIES.

You may or may not agree with me. I akin what has happen to Kwame as another PUBLIC HANGING of a young black man. What he did or didnt do we will truly never know. I say no more hangings of our black men!. What if ….he was your family member, your brother, your father, your husband, and Yes, your son. Would you feel the same. You would want fairness. Kwame hasn’t receieved that. He has been convicted by the media.



VJ Said on

Yeah, he should’ve been put in jail, but the conditions in which he had to leave is probably the reason he wasn’t in jail longer.

Kwame is my mayor. He has stumbled badly on the job. But, his trip “out of the country” was across the river to Windsor, Canada. He basically took a trip to our backyard…but it IS the principle of his actions. There is a feeding frenzy here in Detroit to remove him from office, because he refuses to resign. I’m basically neutral. Elections are near, why waste tons of money to oust him early. I do believe that now that Kwame has his “street cred”, he may be more popular than he ever was before. If the media doesn’t back off his story and give him some air, they may solidify his re-election. I know they don’t want that!!!!!!

Who can judge this man? All have sin and come short of Gods glory.
I say give this man a second chance. The lord has given me so many chances. He is going to do even a better job with Detroit. God is in control.

Like I said, he did not do anything differently than what politicians have been doing for years, with the exception of getting caught. However, he has an aura about himself that does not sit well with everybody and if he gives them weapons to use against him, he better not expect to live long.

WELL IF BLACK PEOPLE KNOW THAT THEY ARE TRYING TO PUT US IN JAIL, THEN WHY DO WE CONTINUE TO DO STUPID STUFF. WE ALREADY KNOW THAT WE ARE TARGETS, SO WHY DO WE DO STUFF TO GIVE WHITE PEOPLE REASONS TO PUT US DOWN??? KWAME SHOULDN’T HAVE DONE WHAT HE DID IF HE DIDN’T WANT TO GO TO JAIL. WE CAN’T BLAME OTHER PEOPLE FOR HIS ACTIONS. IT MAY HAVE BEEN SOME RACISM INVOLVED; BUT IF KWAME WAS DOING WHAT HE WAS SUPPOSED TOO, THEN THEY WOULDN’T HAVE BEEN ABLE TO TOUCH HIM NO MATTER HOW HARD THEY TRIED.

I BELIEVE THAT KWAME KILPATRICK IS A DISGRACE TO THE MAYORAL POSITION, THE CITY AND RESIDENTS OF DETROIT. RIGHT IS RIGHT AND WRONG IS WRONG. ADMIT IT AND RECEIVE YOUR PUNISHMENT AS ANY OTHER AMERICAN WOULD HAVE TOO. HE IS NOT ABOVE THE LAW.

Who in the hell is Rocsi? LOL

Who really knows the truth in any given situation? Surely, we are not convinced that only politicians have morales and values. Such a belief can only lead to utter disappointment.

I would rather let the politicl and judicial systems do what it will to Mayor Kilpatrick. Ten felonies is alot for anyone to overcome. Evidence is not being fabricated and the evidence continues to mount. Put another rock on the pile Mayor Kilpatrick.

Anyone who demonstrates such reckless disregard for the rule of law, regardless of color, experience, social status, or financial means, and is unwilling to comply with that law and good order, should not be permitted to act in a manner that is harmful to that good order. Mayor Kilpatrick will pay for his misdeeds. Eventually, what is done in the dark will come to the light. In some cases the price to be paid will be higher for some than it is for others.

For reaasons that we may never fully understand; Mayor KIlpatrick appears to deem himemself to be above the law and any appropriate morale restraint. This latest encounter with the courts bears this out most pointedly.

I wish the mayor the best.

I believe tay and lisa is referring to the movie “Goodfellas”. When Karen Hill discovers her husband, Henry Hill’s extra-martial affair with Rossi. Karen went to her apartment and put Rossi on blast. Karen’s remarks was: Rossi you slut, Rossi you whore, Rossi get your own man.



Kevin B Said on

let us not forget that KWAME BEAT HIS WIFE after she found out that he was CHEATING on her.



Thomas Said on

Kevin B,

Normal minds agree that this major is a douch bag and must be removed from office. So what is your point?



kevin b Said on

my point is to those who think that the big scary white man is after every black man on earth…the race card seems to be the default for almost EVERY article on BET.com….horrible, really



keisha Said on

kevin b:

you sound like a horrible little bitter white man. you keep repeating that same ole bull about race. you love to talk about the race card on BET blogs. if you don’t like our responses go to another website or better yet spread the word to your white friends that blacks are not the enemy so they will stop discriminating against us in housing, education, employment, etc… DO YOU BELITTLE AND LECTURE WHITES LIKE YOU DO BLACKS??? you should because neither side is perfect but whites do hold the power and the money.



rjones Said on
