I mean cmon how do you think theres a snowballs chance in hell that your not going to get caught when you charge almost 300,000 dollars to your city credit card lmao ..
He had the opportunity to lead Detroit into a better future, but it just didn’t happened. Success before character development always leads to a downfall. God development my character so that I can handle any level of success.
@@NickyM_0 Couldn't have said It better myself. As with most American problems It all leads back to White peoples fault for how far they set us back by enslaving and oppressing us for so many generations. Not being used to anything but low positions and poverty will do that to people.
Thought they would make a movie 🎥 about this by now like "paid in full." His story has everything from power, lust, drama to violence.....It would make a nice series.
@@dboilaflare7339 Wouldn't watch it anyway. I visited a embassy in NYC to observe policy discussion as a student. And guess who was the butt of jokes in regards of Black people in office. These were European people by the way. I never felt so embarrassed 😒.
Him getting reelected for 2nd term shocked most however what they dont realize is him getting reelected was a blessing it put the last nail in coffin....his whole family is a disgrace.
We put to much faith in people to do the right thing. He got 28 years and his father got 15 months and they were suppose to help the city but could not help but to run it down. Detroit is in debt for 22billion.
Commuted sentence, not pardoned. Still has to pay millions.He is guilty as charged for his corruption. He was greedy, lavish and excessive with taxpayers money.
Very smart statement. I don"t understand why some of our African American brothers always mess up like this. It"s very sad to see his father was even involved. The sky was his limit, but see how he destroyed his chances.
@@euniceadefila4981 No matter how many get caught they don't seem to get it. We are and will always watched and.monitored...no matter how high you go up. They are always there to report every move we make good or bad. We can't do what they do and eventually they get caught too...
any proof Trump is? I know you have your Nazi, racist, propaganda media and racist democrats saying it, but proof? Thought so! Just allegations. Learn the difference.
@@JuanLopez-wd5sc yet blm I'm sure endorsed the true racist, Biden. So, wheres the offset? We all know that blm is racist, along with racist, kkk that democrat founded.
Luk 12:2-3 NIV - 2 There is nothing concealed that will not be disclosed, or hidden that will not be made known. 3 What you have said in the dark will be heard in the daylight, and what you have whispered in the ear in the inner rooms will be proclaimed from the roofs. Only what you do for Christ is going to last!🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
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.
The way he was saying he would never disrespect The Lord or his wife, only to later admit it when caught-up, is foul and incredibly telling. No doubt he had that dancer killed. Just disgusting.
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!
Where was Michael Moore when Kwame Kilpatrick was allegedly betraying the voters of Detroit? The crimes this man is convicted of damaged many thousands of lives including children in Detroit's failing schools. This is why Detroit and Flint required outside unelected managers to administer their finances resulting in the current tragic water contamination situation in Flint.
Thanks for the response. I believe Kwame Kilpatrick is responsible for his life and I believe the people of Flint elected incompetent democrats to run their city. Unfortunately bad choices have consequences. Best
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.
Keziah Koseshi That’s what I’m still scratching my head wondering. I think he refused to give in to the demands of some higher up white politician & his refusal cost him his life. White politicians have done far more damage to communities & this entire nation but yet the sheep still kiss their butts while being led to the slaughter obliviously.
Yeah yeah, your race freaking sucks! just admit it! You have the gall to blame an imaginary white politician you dumbass. Your parents or most likely parent or grandparent raised you just for the welfare money and taught you nothing you worthless race baiter
Did u guys that BOTH strippers at his mansion & was assaulted by his wife. Both of them mysteriously murdered one execution style & the other one in front her mother's home. Cold blooded killer/thug.
This kind of corruption just amazes and pisses me off at the same time. These goons ran city hall like some wanabe mafia. Kilpatrick modeled himself after Coleman Young and looted from the already financially stressed Detroit residents. I voted for and had soo much confidence in K, but god damn. What a letdown. Now Detroit had to once again pick up the pieces and move on with far less than before. These men need to be tarred and feathered for betraying the COD Residents.
The real irony of this is he chose Grand Prairie Texas as his retreat from Detroit but Grand Prairie Texas is the Headquarters for the Bureau of Prison classification for prisoners. So once Kilpatrick was in Federal custody it’s was the folks in Grand Prairie who decided which prison he would go to😂
He’ll be 64-67 when he gets out ‘good behavior’ depending! Kids grown up and married with teens. Wife gone. A jail bitch wife if he doesn’t become one... He’s TOAST!
Da_Fonz Right how can ANYONE with common sense would think he would be a good Mayor. Black folks going to learn & stop voting ppl in position/office based off color.
Kilpatrick's not eligible for release until 2037 but has applied for a pardon from Trump. Scott Lewis is an awesome reporter, trying to get all the dirty goods and deeds out of the parties involved. Keep it up!
Look at the parts of Detroit shown here, does it look like a bankrupt city? The neighborhoods are abandoned and decayed but the mayor wear $3000 suits.
Penobscot Building. Up for rent now. My late father worked on the top floor.in the Art studio. We would go up there for 4 the of July and watch with Canada the fireworks. So many memories . So hot in the summer. Freezing in the winter. Most of all G.M. Car Adds came from up there. And Edsel &Some Chrysler.
I'm certainly not an apologist for Kwami and his gang; however, living in Jersey City for over 20 years, this all seems like business as usual. But as in every area of life, there is always a double standard. Power and Corruption are equal opportunity employers. It is Justice that seems prejudiced.
That phrase is also the title of Dan Rather's documentary on the Detroit Public School system - it's on RU-vid and it's astonishing. I cannot believe that there would be a city in this country that was ran like a banana republic.
when he first came into office as Mayor -----?????---then came the Santa CLaus Parade-- and we watched as he had HIS OWN children meeting Santa-- standing there all dressed to the nines''--up on the rooftop of Hudsons and just his kids--- and below-- all the other children some so poor -- just looking with hungry eyes and wanton...wanting to be there to meet Santa too---I then knew -- he was a selfish --dishonest--arrogant man--- had he been real to his spoken words---he would have allowed the unfortunate kids to be with Santa as a good will gesture-- since they had so little in this citys' life... and he all came true.... KARMA..
The way the system tries to belittle and demean black men should be studied. After the conviction and his redemption payments, the way they're all in this man pockets is ridiculous. To tell this grown man where he should live is absurd.
Yeah now there are probably hundreds of politicians that need to be thrown in jail just like this man. Detroit is one buggered up city and there are many reasons as to why but this man was definitely one of them. Government is so large right now it's mind boggling and it shouldn't be that way. Just like Ron Paul said, less big Government and less big Government spending is paramount.
The democratic process in action, "I will vote for somebody who looks like me and expect good things out of that arbitrary decision." Time to go to jail, "Kwame".
This has nothing to do with skin color, its about culture. Black African immigrants are often hard-working, noble people. That is not the case with a large majority of Black Americans. They culturally accept and even revere criminals over intellectual pursuits. They see integrity as a weakness or bully and accuse those black Americans who have it as "acting white". No one can talk about this because once the word "racist" is thrown around, suddenly they are completely beyond critique. What good has this served any of us? Themselves included. If no one can hold them accountable for their toxic culture because: "muh history" then how can we be surprised when they never improve in any meaningful way? They are right that it is the "whites" fault, but only because the whites let them continue to excuse all their behavior without calling them out.
lol.. his security 'team' acting like they're surrounded by a ninja assault squad. No one is tripping on your Podunk mayor. That shits beyond ridiculous.
