If Your Friends With The Mayor, Shit Happens In Your Favor


The pretrial hearing in Southfield’s 46th District Court for Bobby Ferguson, a Detroit contractor charged with drunken driving, was adjourned today until Aug. 26.

His attorney Brian Stacey plans to file a motion to suppress the tests administered by the Southfield Police Department to Ferguson to check his blood alcohol levels after he was arrested. Assistant City Attorney Bonnie Fitch said the first test came back invalid and a second test was administered two or three minutes later. Stacey said officers should have waited at least 15 minutes before administering the second test.

Fitch said that it’s suggested, but not mandatory, that officers wait 15 minutes after an invalid test before administering another. She said it’s unlikely that the results will get thrown out.

Ferguson – whose companies have come under scrutiny for receiving millions of dollars from the City of Detroit for work on projects – had a blood-alcohol level of .20%, more than twice the limit at which someone can be convicted of drunken driving in Michigan.

Mayor Kilpatrick Assaults Police Officer Then Uses Racial Slurs Against Crackers Everwhere


Mayoral tool, Kwame Kilpatrick of the Kennebunkport Kilpatricks, assaulted a police officer and used racial slurs while doing so.

I cannot begin to tell you how proud I am to be from Detroit.

The investigators had gone to the home of Kilpatrick's sister, Ayanna, and her husband, Daniel Ferguson, to deliver a subpoena to Bobby Ferguson, a relative of Daniel Ferguson's and a close friend of Kilpatrick's. Bobby Ferguson is on the list of witnesses Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy expects to call for the mayor's criminal trial.

White said they had not intended to deliver the subpoena to Bobby Ferguson at that time but were in the neighborhood delivering another subpoena and saw a pickup truck with "Ferguson Construction" on the door. He checked the address and approached the home, he said.

White noticed the mayor's police bodyguards outside the house. He said he flashed his badge, got their OK to proceed and rang the doorbell.

White was told Ferguson wasn't there. Then the detective said he heard a loud voice inside the house.

"It happened so fast. We were just trying to find Bobby Ferguson," Kinney said. "I couldn't believe this was happening. ... He was irate, very mad, upset."

Kinney, who is black, testified that the mayor criticized her for working with White, who is white.

"'You should be ashamed of yourself,'" she quoted Kilpatrick as saying. "'Why are you a part of this?'"

White testified Kilpatrick said, "'You shouldn't even be riding in a car with a guy named White.'"


This is the same man whom referred affectionately to his mistress as "my nigga".

His mother must be so proud, I know his daddy is but wait his daddy is involved in a nursing home scandal now too.

Sweet God of mercy what did Detroit do to deserve this family of idiots?

Foreclosure Filings Up 120% - GO GO TEAM REPUBLICANS!

220,000 homes were lost to bank repossessions in the second quarter, and the annual forecast for 2008 will have to be revised upward.
As foreclosures continue to soar, 220,000 homes were lost to bank repossessions in the second quarter, according to a housing market report Friday issued by RealtyTrac.

That's nearly triple the number from the same period in 2007.

A total of 739,714 foreclosure filings were recorded during that three-month period, up 14% from the first quarter, and 121% from the same period in 2007. That means that one of every 171 U.S. households received a filing, which include notices of default, auction sale notices and bank repossessions.

Detroit continued to suffer more than any other non-Sun Belt area, with one filing for every 66 households. And several Ohio cities were also hard hit, led by Toledo (one in 92 households), Akron (one in 93) and Cleveland (one in 108).

Detroit? Yaaaahh thats us!

What no one has compared yet is very nearly the same exact economic conditions that are occurring now in the U.S. are those that occurred just prior to World War II in the U.S. and more eerily in Germany.

Mark my words. The U.S. Government will now be considering war as a viable economic option because it stimulates economic growth and the U.S has ravenous energy needs that predispose the U.S. to military intervention to countries that have oil as a natural resource.

Although the reasons given for war will actually be much different.

National security for example or Border control or the proliferation of Democracy.

"Wait!" you say. "we're in Iraq and Afghanastan to ensure Democracy will take hold and free the peoples of those countries from tyranny!"

If that's truly the case why aren't we attacking Sweden? Those commie bastards are just asking for it.

But what's missing in Sweden besides Democracy? Oh yes, they have no oil.

War is big business, bigger than the entire U.S. GNP and more reliable.

Be aware of the military industrial complex when you see it. It comes in many disguises.
