At first glance, the former mayor comes across as a man mature beyond his years. Then you hear about all the theft, corruption and wastage that he hoisted upon the city of Detroit and you realize that there are few worse men that could have been mayor. What a disgrace!

[@MetamorphosisRox]

This is the perfect example of two simple principles: 1) Be careful who you surround yourself with. His best friend was arrested plenty of times and when your best friend is up to no good or has a problem controlling his temper, you should know better. 2) People always find it easier to blame anyone but themselves for any mistakes they make in their lives. It has nothing to do with color. His friend is blaming the media because he was not a criminal, according to his own words. The media did not make him hit people. He chose to hit people. The major's father also blamed the rats that come out of the wood work. If you have done nothing wrong, you have nothing to fear. People will always talk and if you keep your hands clean, nothing will come of the rumors. What a sad way to end such a promising career.

Kilpatrick's joining a ministry now apparently. Imagine putting out a hit on the young mother YOU HIRED to dance for YOUR ILLEGAL-ASS PARTY, then going on to "find Jesus" after marrying the woman you had an affair with while in office. They say God sees all sins as equaI, and Jesus forgives all, so I guess Kwame has cleared his conscious and forgiven himself for the murder of a young mother. Kilpatrick just got remarried this summer to a woman 11 years his junior, who just so happened to work for the mayor's office while Kilpatrick was in office. He claims they met at while "praying at church." Sure. Well, I guess it's technically not a lie--Manoogian Mansion was his cathedral, and money was his God. RIP Tamara Greene. You deserved better.
