Default Half Of Detroit’s 8 Mayoral Candidates Are Convicted Criminals

Quote:


Half of the eight mayoral hopefuls on Detroit’s primary ballot next week have been convicted of felony crimes involving drugs, assault or weapons, according to the Detroit News.http://www.detroitnews.com/story/new...ons/104244406/

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.


Once a shining metropolis and home to 1.8 million residents during the 1950s—when it was majority white—the city filed for bankruptcy in 2013 and now has fewer than 675,000, mostly black, residents.
