Detroit — Half of the eight mayoral hopefuls on Detroit’s primary ballot next week have been convicted of felony crimes involving drugs, assault or weapons, a Detroit News analysis shows.
Three were charged with gun crimes and two for assault with intent to commit murder. Some of the offenses date back decades, the earliest to 1977. The most recent was in 2008.
Remember the most ominous line from
Kentucky Fried Movie: "Take him to... Detroit." And when Marion Barry ran for mayor of DC again after release from prison: "Marion Barry, a candidate with convictions."
