The City Council,no doubt,had to cut that meeting short so they could run to the bank to make sure that their paychecks cleared.

I would have thought that Detriot had problems enough of their own without inserting their proven wisdom into a local issue 1,000 miles from home.

But then, that’s just me.

Any mention of the “Detroit City Council” should include “bankrupt” as a modifier.

Loud mouths telegraphing their loyalties to Obama's purse.

They've destroyed Detroit, now it's time to become useful destroying other places. That's what Obama calls community organizing.

With all of the problems Detroit has, why are they spending time on an issue which they have no control over, and no authority to do anything about anyway????

But if they make enough hate Whitey/scare Whitey noises, that will induce the Federal government to send them money, they hope. (Detroit’s bankruptcy is all due to white racism.) It’s worked in the past.

Detriot sounds right to me.

Zimmerman should spend the next 5 years suing the pants off the MSM and racebaiters like Detriot’s council and Jesse Jackson, etc. He obviously will get sued anyways by TMartin’s family, so... since life gave him lemons he should make lemonade.

The entire Detroit City Council should be doing 15 to life in prison.

For the same reason the circuit court judge said, “He is watching.” as if she were Kruschev directing Hero of the People Vasily Zaitzev’s eyes to the giant print of Stalin:
They’re hoping Big Bro’ will send a few semis full of cash Motown way. It’s like living in Uganda, or some south-of-the-border s***-hole, isn’t it?
