30 TO LIFE WAS WHAT THE GUIDELINES SAID. THE JUDGE HAD MERCY.



HIS ONLY REMORSE
Yesterday in a federal courtroom was a nattily dressed giant of a man. His attire was a tan V neck pull over, white undershirt and tan cotton pants. The blue paper slippers were his only fashion mistake. Who wears brown with blue? The guy who had a 28 year sentence delivered to him, that’s who.

A linked 55 word statement about the sentencing of KwameKilpatrick for the G man. I have a hell of lot more to say about the whole god damned debacle of the Kilpatrick clan but that would take 5555 pages.
I know this is Detroit politics and this prick didn't ruin Detroit all on his own but he stole from programs that would have helped educate kids, keep things running and then as a final act sold a 1.9 billion dollar junk bond on Wall Street using one of the few consistent revenue streams to the city as collateral, Casino taxes.  Well if we do go into bankruptcy (the judge has not allowed it yet) guess who is going to claim that 120 million a year for the next 20 years?

  7. What cloudia said, I say too.

    I find some solace when a person's misdeeds catch up with them (so many get away with murder) sometimes the system works as it should. In Boston, we have mr whitey bulger, extortionist-murderer, who next week will have to listen to 11, maybe 19, families of people he killed, some with his bare hands.

    What's a just sentence for kilpatrick and bulger? Not nerve gas; I know that much.

    Love love

  8. He owes Detroit every cent of that $20+ million, and then he should be sentenced to living in the street, sans clothes, sans cars, sans credit, sans everything...
    Let the punishment fit the crime.

  9. I wish all those commit heinous crimes would get their comeuppance. And I agree with ds - so often the punishment doesn't fit the crime. If only it did!

  10. Unbelievable. And criminals are never truly punished...

  11. Man, I know that there have always been greedy bastards, but it seems that there is a new breed that defies the imagination.
