Felony Charges For Mayor Kilpatrick (Detroit)---Perjury and Obstruction
Edited on Mon Mar-24-08 10:32 AM by MrsGrumpy
of Justice.

This is too long of a time coming. Hopefully, now, Detroit will stop being a laughingstock in the eyes of the nation.

Kym Worthy, Wayne Country Prosecutor was extremely concise and controlled. This mayor has made a mockery of her and her department. I am very glad.

BREAKING NEWS UPDATE: Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy has announced felony charges against Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick and his former chief of staff Christine Beatty.

2. It was barely (but well) controlled rage during the press conference.
Which just ended.

3. So sorry Detriot
They have brought you to your knees. Your automobile industry off shored to Canada, etc. How has NAFTA, CAFTA, etc. helped your city?

Don't know if these charges are real or not there has been so much "judicial manipulation" since Bush stole power regarding Democratic leaders.

DO NOT ELECT A REBUBLICAN EVER...OR A DEMOCRATIC LIGHT.

4. Well, for one thing, there's a strike (a HUGE UAW strike at American Axle)
that I continue to post about...and yet it drops like a rock. We are such a shut the door after all the horses have left society.

Most offshoring now is to Mexico. Union contracts are a joke. Too late. Much too late.

5. Well that's settled. When will we learn of the charges against GW Bush?
While listening to this press conference, I couldn't help feeling a little let down.

I would love to hear some federal prosecutor reading charges against Bush. He certainly deserves it. And its long long overdue.

Apples and oranges. This should have been done long ago. Thanks.

10. Congress ignores it at our demise
Those who refuse to impeach or put him before the Hague should be removed. So what he leaves office soon. We failed to hold them accountable during Nixon and it has continued to destroy us.

13. No kidding, another political hit against a Dem, while Repukes walk
Let's see, on one hand, we have philandering and lieing about it (that must be a new invention, I never heard of that before) and on the other electoral fraud, 911 mass murder/treason, soldiers sent to kill and die in an illegal aggressive war. What's worse? . . .
