You would be giving to a good cause -- paying back the people of Detroit, with the judge ruling McThug and his federally indicted sister not being allowed to profit and all...

And the FAMU alum is a free man:

I hadn't realized he was in Jackson. Hasn't the entire state suffered enough?

From a statement:

"Detroit, I will return to speak frankly with you about this experience because it has affected all of us. During my incarceration, I learned, sometimes through very painful processes, how important it is for me to put God, Faith, and Family first."

(journalistic question on the written statement: why leave in the capital letters on "faith" and "family"? Had he read the release, no one would have thought to cap those letters.)

My question: Why does he have to speak to us at all?

Maybe he wants to come and "mentor the youth."

Because he's an obsessive egomaniac...

The never-ending story:

Detroit — After Bernard Kilpatrick left the public payroll and began a consulting business, he brought in more than $2.2 million as a business consultant while his son was mayor of Detroit, according to testimony Thursday in the Kilpatricks' public corruption trial.

In addition to the millions of dollars he generated during Kwame Kilpatrick's tenure, Bernard Kilpatrick was a heavy-duty gambler and a tax cheat, according to an Internal Revenue Service agent.

The trial returned from a 12-day Christmas break with a detailed examination of Kilpatrick's finances and spending habits, which included big bills at an area liquor shop and gambling jags at Detroit and Las Vegas casinos.

IRS agent Rowena Schuch testified she believed Bernard Kilpatrick underpaid his taxes by hiding income from the government. He should owe the IRS an additional $184,000 from 2004, 2005 and 2007, she said.

Your call is very important to us...

While Detroit Mayor Dave Bing and Interim Police Chief Chester Logan explore a restructuring of the city’s police department, some residents are expressing frustration with how their calls are being handled.

Detroiter Rachelle Guyton said she called 911 around 6:30 a.m. Saturday to report that her 2003 Chrysler Town & Country minivan had been stolen from an apartment building in Palmer Park — but it wasn’t the van she was worried about.

“I have a gun under my car seat, and when I called the police department to explain this to them and try to have them help… they didn’t give me any attention. They told me I had to wait until 8 o’clock to call back. What if someone gets shot with this? What if a child gets this in his hand? I’m responsible, and I just can’t have that on my conscience,” Guyton told WWJ’s Terri Lee.

Guyton, who has a CCW permit for her 9-millimeter Smith & Wesson, said she’s disappointed in how her call was handled, especially with all the talk about guns surrounding the city’s recently released crime statistics for 2012 — numbers which show the highest murder rate in the city in nearly 20 years.

“They’re not trying to make anything a top priority, they won’t send a car out here to investigate, they won’t do anything. So, I’m stuck here not concerned about the car whatsoever. I will take the bus, you know, that’s not important. The importance here is the gun and the safety for other people,” said Guyton.

Detroit police declined to comment on the situation.

Kwame's former best friend testifies against him today. The prosecution should be close to wrapping up its case by the end of the month.
