Detroit mayor's father declines to testify in lawsuit I know you’re not supposed to assume guilt when someone pleads the Fifth Amendment, but what other conclusion can one draw? | ||

It sounds more like he is not quite sure of the "whole situation" so he is staying quiet on this one. This is the same as alleged murders not defending themselves in cases and such. It doesn't mean they are guilty, it means they want the prosecutors to prove the case. He may not have anything to do with the one guys dealings, it was stated that one of his board members had a relationship with him. I don't blame him for not speaking on this one, especially if he is not directly linked to this. Make the prosecutors earn their money and make a strong case, if not, he will be dropped off the suit. | ||

If he's "not quite sure of the whole situation" he could testify "I don't know." Someone pleads the fifth because they don't want to incriminate themselves. I think that speaks for itself. How can you incriminate yourself if you've done nothing wrong? It's okay to assume he's guilty of something, unless you are his judge or on his jury. | ||

That picture of Bernard Kilpatrick sorta sent shivers down my spine. I picture that as what KK will look like in his 33rd year as mayor of Detroit in the 2030's... | ||

No need to worry about 33 years. Detroit will be bankrupt well before that time. | ||

I'm sure I've seen that cat down at Bert's. I've gotta keep up on all the rogue's gallery...never know who I might see misbehaving. There could be a revenue stream in this somewhere... Heard just last week that there was a fist fight a month ago between two gangs of older men INSIDE of the Roma Cafe...that Meaney guy of the Corktown development fame and another guy I'll name as soon as I can catch my friend who saw the whole thing. I just might have to break down and get one of those cell phones with a camera built in...maybe as soon as they can get it to do HDTV quality. | ||

oh crap, maybe he hasn't done a darn thing wrong. What do I know of this man's dealings? Maybe he's the only honest one out there and he really is getting his ducks in a row and keeping quiet til he just goes all Ninja on all the evil-doers. Gannon, keep an eye out for him - you'll recognize him by his snappy chapeau. | ||

I don't know, there is really no evidence that McNamara ever let ethical and honest people hang around him on a regular basis, certainly NOT in positions of authority. (or is that prostitutions of authority?!) (I keed, I keed) | ||
