Detroit Mayor Ordered Jailed
By NICK BUNKLEY
DETROIT — A judge ordered Mayor Kwame M. Kilpatrick to the county jail on Thursday for violating the terms of his bond by traveling to Canada last month without court approval.
The pronouncement from Judge Ronald Giles of Federal District Court means that Mr. Kilpatrick, who is fighting perjury and other felony charges but has refused calls to resign, will likely spend at least one night in jail but would be released after posting $75,000 bail. The mayor’s lawyers were seeking an immediate appeal.
Mr. Kilpatrick apologized to Judge Giles for his July 23 trip to Windsor, Ontario, on the opposite shore of the Detroit River, saying he would not make another such mistake and noting that he had asked his young sons to watch the hearing. But the judge responded that he must treat the mayor as he would any other defendant.
“If it was not Kwame Kilpatrick sitting in that seat — if it was John Six Pack sitting in the seat — what would I do?” Judge Giles said.

What was that the old folks used to tell us? A hard head makes a soft behind.
Windsor?
I still have to laugh! Isn't that like crossing the street? It seemed to be when I crossed the border. I almost mocked the immigration agents when I came back and they asked me why I went there and, with an almost empty iced Starbucks coffee in my hand, said "to go to Starbucks." WTF?

I don't know how wide the Detroit River is. I DO know how hard they're trying to spank the boy.
Kwame needs to understand
Kwame needs to understand that when its poker it hurts.
When ' The Man' tells you not to leave town without telling him
Then your Black behind better not leave town, let alone leave the country (yes, I know where Windsor is respective to Detroit).
You are telling ' The Man' - come get my Black butt and throw me in jail.
The Hip-Hop Mayor is TRIFLING.
Always has been.
The Man?
Isn't 'The Man' a black female judge? LOL!
Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy, who announced the eight-count indictment against Kilpatrick in March, said the mayor was treated justly, "considering his most recent behavior."
That's the D.A. Is the judge
That's the D.A. Is the judge or the D.A. the Man? It was cops when I was a kid.
Kim Worthy is the DA, and
Kim Worthy is the DA, and she is black. The judge is a black judge. Hizzoner is a lawyer and should be able to figure out a legal order. Going to Windsor is going to a foreign country and legally is the same as going to China. The city council that is trying to get rid of the mayor is black except for the white woman who is the widow of a black marxist activist lawyer. The cops that were fired for investigating the mayor's wild party and police detail are black. So the MAN is black.
(the Detroit river is about 1 to 1.5 miles wide depending on location and you have to go through American and Canadian customs.)
Crazy KK is just... crazy!
Mayor Kwame "Crazy KK" Kilpatrick has been acting like he's UNTOUCHABLE for awhile and it caught up with him. And doing it with District Attorney Kym "You think this is a game FOOL" Worthy at the helm?
Kwame's double stupid with caramel on top.
