SubscribeDetroit Mayor Sent To Jail - Guess Party
From the DNC’s Associated Press:
Detroit mayor ordered jailed after bond violation
By COREY WILLIAMS and ED WHITE
DETROIT (AP) — A judge ordered Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick to jail Thursday for violating the terms of his bond in his perjury case, a decision the judge said he would have made for any “John Six-Pack” defendant before him.
The mayor, who is accused of lying under oath in a civil case and faces eight felony counts, made a trip across the Detroit river to Windsor, Ontario, on city business last month without informing the court in advance, leading the county prosecutor’s office to request Kilpatrick be punished.
Only minutes earlier, the mayor offered an apology to the court, telling District Court Judge Ronald Giles that for seven months, “I’ve been living in an incredible state of pressure and scrutiny.”
But Giles sent the mayor to jail anyway, telling him he would have given any defendant the same treatment.
“What matters to me though is how the court overall is perceived and how if it was not Kwame Kilpatrick sitting in that seat, if it was John Six-Pack sitting in that seat, what would I do? And that answer is simple,” he said.
Circuit Court Judge Thomas E. Jackson said he wouldn’t hear an appeal by Kilpatrick’s lawyers until 9 a.m. Friday, meaning the mayor was to spend the night in jail.
The Detroit mayor’s chief of staff, Kandia Milton — who was appointed deputy mayor six days ago — will run the city of 900,000 in Kilpatrick’s absence, the mayor’s office said in a statement….
If you should read the entire article, please once again note the near ubiquitous practice of our watchdog media.
As we have mentioned numerous times before, today’s “journalists” seldom if ever mention the party affiliation of Democrat evil-doers.
And yet they somehow manage to note in the headline and lede the political persuasion of any Republican perp.
Why is that?

Well, it would be as improbable for Detroit to have a Republican mayor as a white mayor, ergo, who didn’t know this guy was a Democrat? Not making excuses, just sayin’… Of course, you’re correct, had it been a Republican, the opening line would have read: ‘A judge ordered Republican Mayor…’

Simple explaination fro why our watchdog media doesn’t ‘out’ Democrats and takes pain to label Republicans: only Democrats are real people. The media is overwhelmingly Democrat and therefore iot is ‘normal’ to be Democrat. Being Republican is ‘newsworthy.’ Being Republican is an abboration. Being Republican is being less than human.
So there!

The msm does it that way because they put any ‘facts’ that they deem that they must put into an article as close to the end as possible as they know 85% of their readers read the headline and the first two paragraphs.
It is just another way to dumb down America - make ‘em believe that all the ‘facts’ and important information is in the headline and the first two paragraphs - why bother to read anything else?
It’s going to get worse with the texting generation - they can not only not read - they can’t spell either - what a wonderful world.

Thank a liberal education system designed from the beginning to turn out hoards of functional illiterate drones to vote democrat. This is the fruit of that labor started thirty years ago….make people ignorant, reward sloth and mediocrity….and forbid freedom of expression, and most of all, knowledge of history, english, mathematics, literature, and intelligent thought.
This is the collective that obama wishes to rule….and the MSM is the main reason it is working. Pelosi is the keeper of the gate, Reid is the assistant, the rest are the drones of the new order.
well, we will get it back. We have been getting it in the back for years, but when push comes to shove, we will take it all away from them. By force. It’s America….not Democratia.

“well, we will get it back. We have been getting it in the back for years, but when push comes to shove, we will take it all away from them.”
SJ, I can only hope that you are correct. I honestly have my doubts sometimes.

SG,
Isn’t Detroit for all intents and purposes a synonym for Democrat?

To avoid such situations, I would recommend Chris Rock’s video, “Obey the Law.” Not only is this video funny, but it is also very true.
But you are right. There is a double standard for reporters, and there is no such thing as being objective, especially with the MSM. Look at John Edwards.

This is dominating the news and radio talk shows here in southeast Michigan. In Detroit we have Mayor Kilpatrick and to the south we have Mayor Carty Finkbeiner in Toledo who called off urban military exercies in some abandoned buildings in Toledo because they might “scare” someone. In this part of the country we walk through the valley of the shadow of dumbasses. By the way, if you want a preview of what life will be like for America if Obama wins, just come to Detroit.

Looks like Kwame has stepped in it again and yes, we still have to guess his party affiliation, from the AP.
Kwame’s (Dhimmi - Detroitistan) evidently been a busy man the last few days. Couldn’t happen to a nicer guy.
Racism retort from Kwame’s handlers in ……3…..2….1…….
