Kwame Kilpatrick,The hip hop mayor almost beat down the channel 7 reporter outside the church, how dispicable and then he goes into the church and tries to act like a repent little angel, come on. He then goes on to try the martyr role, and then asks people to leave him and his family alone and give his family privacy, if they want privacy then he should quit. I bet Carlita does not even know about the trist just two weeks ago that is now being reported, if this hip hop mayor never got caught he would never have been sorry and his statement that he will see you at work sounded more like a threat than a statement.
