Let me get this straight. This company is suing the city for not busting them for bribery? | ||
Gplimpton Member Username: Gplimpton Post Number: 287 Registered: 05-2007 |
That seems to be their claim. It's interesting how not-very-subtle Team Kilpatrick was about these things, according to the claims. | ||

It kind of reminds me of the gall Synagro displayed, today, in saying that it would not sue the city for cancelling the contract, when it's obvious that Synagro should be happy those involved in the probe don't absolutely break their company. There are no innocents in these pay-for-plays, no a one. | ||

I wouldn,t say it was to "destroy Black leadership" just allegedly corrupt leadership all around.In my opinion it was some white crook dealing with Kwame, Kwame who really dissapointed the Reddog.May KWAME go to Texas and stay there. | ||
Lilpup Member Username: Lilpup Post Number: 5198 Registered: 06-2004 |
From the sounds of it Kwame and his daddy might be going to Federal lockup and according to the law professor Gaddis talked to the other morning Federal sentences will be waaaaay longer than the slap KK got for his fibbing. Plus, there won't be any special treatment there - low security place but in with the general population and having to deal with mouthy guards and being told what to do. | ||

Bernie's gonna play the race card express all the way to the federal pen in Milan! He talks about the Kilpatrick family serving the community for over thirty years...Look around the City of Detroit with all of the corruption, destruction and white flight, no flight by anyone that has a lick of sense to get out of a cesspool of shit. That kind of "leadership" is what the City of Detroit needs like one needs a boil on their ass. It will good the day the old man goes to jail, AND if Kwame manages to keep his ass out of Federal custody, and he moves to Texas. We can then sing, Thank God and Greyhound, They're gone. | ||

I really wish everyone here would be more careful about what they say about the Kilpatrick family. Those who display disrespect during this period of exile will be dealt with most harshly upon return to power. C'mon people, smarten up. Just because you can't see The Machine doesn't mean it's not there. | ||

You can LOL all you want. I'm serious as a heart attack. God help anyone who thinks they can say anything they want because the Mayor is not presently in office. Puhleese. Examples will be made of those who were irreverent during the incarceration. | ||

I will say whatever I please. ThugBoy and his relatives will not be returning to power. They may speak of such charges as some sort of hunt; but their time is over. They know what they face--many years in prison. After the Feds, the IRS will be stepping into the picture. | ||

Dshanks: Are you suggesting the Kilpatricks would abuse the power of their elected office in order to retaliate against political opponents? Who'da thought? | ||
Lodgedodger Member Username: Lodgedodger Post Number: 1394 Registered: 05-2008 |
The person is trying to intimidate posters with threats of a Kilpatrick "Machine". Thinly-veiled threats of a coming period of retribution to those who speak their minds freely mean nothing. This is a sorry way of attempting to attribute power to a group of individuals who have lost much power and money in the past months. I would remind you, Dshanks, some posters' identities may be known, yet what posters do for a living may not. Be smart, end the threats. | ||

Don't ever forget, that guy was elected twice. There's still idiots out there who support him. If he's able to run again in a general election I wouldn't be suprised if he won again. | ||
Lmichigan Member Username: Lmichigan Post Number: 4064 Registered: 10-2003 |
I'm often cynical of Detroiter's, myself, but if Kilpatrick is ever elected mayor of Detroit, again, I'll eat my hat. Hell, I'll eat a whole rack of them. I think believing Detroiters would elect him, again, after all of this (and all that keeps coming out) is overly cynical. Please remember, the worst thing he was accused of in his re-election bid was the rumored mansion party and living too highly and fastly. He's now been firmly convicted of being an absolutely pathological liar and crook. Detroiters would not elect that again, I feel very comfortable in saying. | ||
Gistok Member Username: Gistok Post Number: 6082 Registered: 08-2004 |
Agreed Lmichigan... after all he just barely squeeked by with 52% during his 2nd election. | ||
Chrissy_snow Member Username: Chrissy_snow Post Number: 410 Registered: 07-2008 |
Lmichigan, there was actually a woman interviewed (thankfully, briefly) on the news the other night, who did say that if she could, she WOULD elect Kwame again. I know she's only one, but if she thinks this way, whose to say that others don't also? I was very shocked to here it come out of her mouth. They are talking about it in the comments section at John Bennett's blog. A lot of people saw it and we were all shocked! | ||

In a related development: quote:.... http://www.freep.com/article/2 0090205/NEWS06/902050435 For those who don't know Jon Rutherford and Bernard Kilpatrick are old business cronies. quote: http://www.detroitnews.com/app s/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/200807 03/METRO/807030392 Keep in mind that until last year BK was Chairman of the Wayne County Mental Health Board until he was forced to resign. From an article that is no longer on-line quote: To sum up, BK can't be too happy that one of his cronies is facing some Federal Tax Time. Jon Rutherford of Metro Emergency Services Inc., just got some encouragement to start flipping on his old pal. | ||
