The Kwame Kilpatrick Carnival is Officially Open for Business

  Hicktown’s “favorite” mayor—Detroit’s lustful, womanizing Kwame Kilpatrick, is still performing his carnival act. You all know that he was recently booed by the people of Detroit, who have finally tired of his antics and ego.

Well there is more news on this carnival clown who refuses to give up the ghost of mayorship. By now you may have heard about him  allegedly pushing an officer and getting lambasted by a judge!

A Detroit judge struck down the terms of Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick bond and ordered him to pay $7,500 and random drug screening. As for travel, the mayor is cut off. However, travel which has already been approved, including a trip to the Democratic National Convention in late August, is permitted.

“It makes no sense,” Giles said. I’m revoking Mayor Kilpatrick’s personal bond. Kilpatrick’s previous bond was $75,000, but he was not required to pay. Now, he owes 10 percent.

WWJ legal analyst Charlie Langton, said this isn’t the first time the mayor’s found himself in potential trouble since perjury and other charges were filed against him and his former top aide.

Remember there was an allegation early on about the mayor not traveling properly, or even Christine Beatty traveling within the conditions set by judge for the bond, and the prosecutor did make quite a big deal about that, Langton said.

Langton called these “very, very serious allegations against the mayor.” Langton added, “The mayor may have violated the conditions of his bond and in the most extreme cases, bond could be revoked and he could go to jail right now to await trial in the felony perjury case.”

Hopefully he’ll think twice before putting his hands on somebody! Pushing an officer is never a smart move. But…obviously Kilpatrick is thinking with the wrong “head”.

According to Wayne County Sheriff Warren Evans, Kilpatrick exited the home and allegedly pushed an officer hard enough that he bumped into a female member of the Wayne County Prosecutor’s office. To prevent an escalation of the incident, Evans says the officers left the home without serving the subpoena and returned to the department’s downtown headquarters to fill out reports. Michigan State Police have been asked to conduct an investigation. Evans says the mayor could face a charge of simple assault. No one was injured and no weapons were involved.

According to James Thomas, one of the mayor’s attorneys, the person who served the subpoena was looking for Bobby Ferguson, but it wasn’t his home. It was the mayor’s sister’s house. Mayor Kilpatrick informed him of that and asked him to leave. When he did not leave, the mayor gently escorted him from the home’s porch. Feruson has been under investigation for allegedly receiving inside information from the Mayor and his office that led to him winning city contracts worth at least $45 million.
