Mr. Washington parses the Detroit Mayors scandal:
QUOTE:
“

Worthy brought a 12-count criminal indictment – 15 felony charges in all (eight against Mayor Kilpatrick; seven against his former chief of staff and concubine, Christine Beatty) – including: perjury, obstruction of justice, misconduct in office, perjury in a court proceeding, perjury other than a court proceeding and conspiracy.

Let us remember that Worthy only took up this case under tremendous public pressure once some of the text messages between Kilpatrick and Beatty were published from a Freedom of Information Act request, not by the good prosecutor’s office, but by the Detroit Free Press and only after years of legal wrangling with the mayor and his legion of taxpayer-paid attorneys.

Prosecutor Worthy had the nerve to lecture the American people about the rudiments of our constitutional republic and what the symbols of Lady Justice mean, but she forgot one aspect implicit in the balance scales she holds aloft: time – tick-tock-tick-tock.

It didn’t take Worthy 59 days to bring felony charges against the mayor, it took her over six years!”

“…Monday’s press conference was a big charade. Worthy staged the entire event as she and she alone has flown in with her cape and her boots and will get us (Detroiters) justice. Balderdash!

Worthy, like so many of our craven pols on both sides of the aisle all over America, has built her career on lies, racial pandering, opportunism, shameless ambition and Sistergirl demagoguery. She knows that the eyes of the world are on Detroit, and she is going through all the motions to bamboozle the blacks of Wayne County who will next year no doubt re-elect this opportunist once again, regardless of whether or not she and her legal “dream team” even have the ability to put this delusional, narcissistic, psychopathic “leader” in prison.

Black people of Detroit have made themselves the laughingstock of the world because of their irrational 75-year love affair with liberalism and the Democrat Party, which forbids ideological or public policy competition. Moreover, Detroit has made every closet racist self-righteously say inwardly, “See, I told you Negroes can’t govern themselves!” This state of affairs vexes me to no end, for I was born and raised in Detroit. I was educated here, and my family and I presently worship in this city.

D-Day for KK? We shall see, but don’t hold your breath. After all, we are talking about Detroit, which Forbes Magazine awarded the villainous designation “America’s most miserable city.”
My husband and I had the chance to raise our family in Detroit, which is my hometown, but made the decision to move when the opportunity presented after the first year of our marriage. Paul hated commuting from the burbs downtown to the Argonaut Building where he was working when we met.
I have so many fond memories of Detroit and great friends and family in Michigan. It is difficult to watch what is happening to my home state, which has suffered with such bad political leadership at both the local and state level.
It makes me think of a line from the Doctrine and Covenants 98:9, which states “Nevertheless, when the wicked rule the people mourn.”
And in Proverbs it says:

“When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn.”

I pray that the local citizens of Detroit can use New Media and the Rule of Law to hold the current nasty crop of politicians accountable for their crimes, which include murder, and find some moral people to run for office. It would be such a blessing to the city and state to have politicians who honor their oaths of office.
