Well, now, KK's challenge to Hendrix - that no one in his family had ever been arrested but could Hendrix say the same thing? - comes eerily to life. Either it's a planted accusation of the weakest link in the Hendrix family, or its something like a Greek tragedy playing out. |

Kwame's stepbrother, Ajene, was also arrested for domestic violence back in 2003: http://www.detnews.com/2003/me tro/0306/02/d01-179816.htm He also missed an August court date, and there is a warrant out for his arrest. There was also an incident involving Kwame's sister and insurance fraud, involving her stolen 2000 Lincoln Navigator (that family sure does love Navigators!): http://www.detnews.com/2005/me tro/0502/10/B01-85770.htm |

I just talked to a friend of mine who lives in Ann Arbor. She heard that Stephan got into a fight with his girlfriend after the girlfriend broke out his car window. I don't know if that's true or not, but that's the first word from Ann Arbor. Regardless of whether she damaged his property or not, there's no excuse for a man to put his hands on a female. |

I am sure that is what happened...she called the police on him for yelling at her when she busted his windows out. now this leads me to wonder what we her motivation for busting out his windows...was she a ringer? |

I can only imagine what he could have done to have her bust his car up. Problem with domestic violence though, anybody can call the cops. If someone hears a disturbance and calls the cops....somebody is going to jail. Especially if they show up and someone's car is all busted up. This maybe a whole lot of nothing. However, if he did put his hands on her...good for him...go to jail. But sometimes the law really sucks. |

There is no reason to destroy someone's property then expect for them to exercise restraint. As far as I am concerned, it is just as wrong for a woman to use any sort of violence or intimidation against a man. If he did knock her head off for destroying his vehicle, good for him. She got what she deserved. She's a stupid bitch and hopefully he dumps her ass! |

THE REAL STORY and go back to Ann Arbor Aram. Is that the girlfriend is pregnant and Stephen was trying to induce an abortion by pouring pills down her throat. He locked her in the bathroom and she had to text message her family to get help. That is how the police were called. Come on he has been in jail for 30 hours - I think he/she did more than just break some windows.! |

Channel 2 reported at 5:30 that Stephen and the girlfriend had got into a fight when he tried to force pills down her throat. She made it to the bathroom where she text messaged her family to come and get her and call 911. Charles Pugh implied that the windows were broken out by her angry brother when he got there. That's what I heard on the news. Nothing about what the pills were. |

Rose - I have been telling you all along how sleazy that Hendrix is. I have left his family out of it but come on add it up! Wife was arrested - THE RECORD was expunged that is the question we need to ask Hendrix on her. Son arrested....is he so desperate to keep daddy loving him that he has to beat the girl up to force an abortion? And Hendrix all the deals under the table with Soave, and the condo. When are you going to realize this is bad! He is not good. He makes Kilpatrick and the navigator look like child's play. The only reason the Manoogian Party is back on line (from 10 mos ago) is the election is coming up. There is NO NEW NEWS on the Manoog...just old crap. THE REAL STORY IS THE HOUSE OF HENDRIX and those cards are crumbling. If the Manoog was a Hendrix story you would all laugh...what did the main witness say "well I was invited to this party by someone that I forget who told me but it must have happened".... the police chief in Southfield said this!!! HE is Freman's frat brother. We are being taken for a ride here...don't get on the Hendrix bus without being fully informed. Don't switch a horse in mid-stream for a worse horse! |

Aram - Yes, his son is not on the ballot. But Hendrix has been making campaign promises that we need to clean up the youth and give them more manners. How can he do that when he can't control his own child. How can he stop corruption when his own wife has been involved. These are the questions you have to ask. It makes you question how genuine is he. |

" Looks like the son inherited the father's violent streaks." -"Ilovedetroit" Using that line of reasoning... I guess it would also explain two dead women and one missing (alleged party), shoving Steve Wilson, police officers fearing for their lives and the lives of their families, etc. (Kilpatrick) It would also explain trying to attack another candidate's family with smears and false allegations.

I wouldn't vote for Kwame even if my neighbor's cat was his opponent. Still voting for Hendrix. His son is an adult and is responsible for his own stupid mistakes. It is NOTHING compared to the Navigator, the Manoogian party, rudely chomping an apple during a media interview, hiding an earring while campaigning and then wearing it soon after elected, surrounding oneself with incompetent high school buddies at taxpayer expense, inability to balance a budget, and the list goes on and on |

It's sad that in today's political world that this is as huge of an issue as it is. It's like the Bush twins. Yeah, it's interesting to talk about their legal misadventures, but their activities have no impact on how their father does his job (not trying to defend Bush here, I swear). Stephen Hendrix is a legal adult. His actions are his responsibility, and his responsibility alone. I don't see his name on a ballot. I don't see how this should be held against Hendrix at all. But we're talking about America, and we're talking about Detroit, and there's going to be morons out there who will take this into consideration and change their vote accordingly. It's sad. Do people even care about the issues anymore? Or is this campaign going to be about things that are completely irrelevent to the future of Detroit? Seems to me that watching this thread and others over the course of the year, it seems there are plenty of people who want to, at any cost, derail any discussion of actual issues and instead focus on the crap that doesn't make a difference one way or the other. Sad. Cue the playing of the residency card.... Now. |

You know what...even I am apalled that the news media put Hendrix's son on the front page of the News. If the kid did wrong he deserves punishment to the full extent of the law. However, as much as I don't care for the father - I feel sorry for his son. Front page news for someone who is the son of a candidate is a bit much. I mean Delphi is a huge story that could change our way of life and it is a side bar story! |

I have to say that Hendrix came out of this looking like a good father helping his son.... He could have left him twisting in the wind to fend for himself for his indiscretions. But no, like a good father, he was at his side, and didn't give a fukk about media photos and the like. This actually showed us the caring father side of Hendrix. He's a human being like all of us, not some monster prone to vicious gossip. |

Hendrix came out of this looking more human than some people (***cough Brian***cough Ilovedetroit***) make him out to be. He is handling this family "crisis" with style and grace. I am sure the pressure is on him. However, you must admire his ability to maintain a cool, level head while in the face of such opposition--unlike KK who bullies, punches, intimidates, shows a blatant disregard and disrespect for the Office of Mayor, etc. whenever he is confronted with HIS OWN PERSONAL MISGIVINGS. |

I got this in an email.
Did my ears deceive me? I was listening to the Press Conference on WWJ 950AM hosted by Mayoral Candidate Freman Hendrix yesterday and there were some things said by the candidate that were simply swept under the carpet. I was listening quite carefully to every word and this is what I heard: POINT #1 Q: (from someone in the media) Were you disappointed to hear/to find out about the DUI charge? A: (from Hendrix) Yes, as I mentioned before I was disappointed that my son did not tell me previous to this about the charges because we would not be here today talking about it .... Am I disappointed that the DUI happened at all?... Well, I don't know how many of you ever had a few beers while in college and drove home afterwards, but you were fortunate enough not to be stopped by the police. My son was not so fortunate. (WHAT??????????????????????) My question to this father, citizen, and community leader that is currently running for Mayor: Is it now OK to drink and drive so long as you are not stopped by the police??????? Shouldn't his attitude as a responsible and mature citizen of the City of Detroit be that "Thank God my son was stopped by the police before he killed himself or someone else"? NOBODY, NOBODY, NOBODY caught that.... NOBODY, NOBODY, NOBODY is replaying these words. Where is the criticism, the scrutiny of the media in this city - I am disappointed that they didn't jump on such a controversial issue as drinking and driving.... Where is M.A.D.D., S.A.D.D., the Prevention Network, the Police Department????? Was I the only person to hear it? Why is the media being so kind - ratings have always proven to be far more important than fair reporting. This man, Stephen, has 1) alledgedly drove under the influence of a substance putting in danger somebody's life and/or property 2) alledgedly been abusive to another citizen. Where's the uprising, where's the scandal - come on people, where's the outrage for heaven's sake???????????? I also question whether or not Stephen was even 21 years-of-age when he got stopped for drinking and driving - when is his birthday, anyway? Anybody??? POINT #2 Then another person from the media asked: How is it that you (Hendrix) didn't know about the DUI? My question is: How come the MEDIA didn't know about the DUI? The Detroit media can tell us what Mayor Kilpatrick ate two years ago, at what restaurant, in what city, with whom, how much it cost, who he had dinner with, and what credit card he put it on, but they didn't know that Hendrix' son was arrested less than 6 months ago for Driving Under the Influence. Shoddy reporting, just plain shoddy......They must be getting some of that (alledged)$7.1 million payoff. |

The media frenzy over the antics of a college student at the expense of more threshold accounts about Iraq, Delphi, et al will be the death of us. The media offers nothing of value just a cheap tabloid fetish.. |

As far as how come the media didn't know about this.... unless someone at a courthouse or police station tips off the media (anonymously, cuz they would lose their job if they did it openly), how is the media supposed to know? And you know what, there should be outrage about Hendrix Sr., he should thank his lucky stars that his son didn't ram a bus down an embankment killing all 40 elderly nuns and young orphans on board in the process.... where is the OUTRAGE!!.... we should be UPRISING.... like they did with "St. Joan when they threw the faggots onto the fire"..... no wait, "he should be stoned like they did in the bible, and those McPhail/Kwame supporters that are without sin should cast the first stone".... Yes the media should have known what was going on... cuz they know what Kwame ate 2 years ago... (but not since unfortuntately)... cuz it took 2 years for them to get the info thru the freedom of information act... What I have just described is called a "slippery slope argument" (with a smartass twist)... one of 41 debate/logic fallacies that are taught in college Logic courses. This is the same slippery slope used in the previous post. (Message edited by gistok on October 13, 2005) |

Brian, only witch-hunters like yourself would be shocked and dismayed at Hendrix's response. That's because we've all been down that road as young adults who have had a beer or two before we got behind the wheel of a car. Alleged puritans like yourself would never have done something wrong as a young adult. You, Brian, were a saint growing up, weren't you? How else could you have developed into the fine upstanding citizen you are today? BTW, Brian, the outrage from the media didn't come out like you would have wanted it to because Hendrix's son is not running for mayor. Freman Hendrix is, and he didn't get caught driving drunk. Only you would get melodramatic over some negative news about Hendrix. Have you stopped salivating yet? |

Damn Right. I never drove drunk or even drove under the influence and neither has anyone in my family or my friends. We always have a designated driver or don't drink. Its called responsibility! Perhaps Helmut would know this Royce being a self described man of integrity. But you use the Helmut line and campaign talking point of "everyone does it - so its OK". On Detroit's east side they are looking for a hit and run who killed a young child. Was it Stephen Hendrix? Did he lie to his dad about that too? Maybe Stephen needs to attend an L. Brooks session on why folks should not drive drunk. Let Fnemeck know that the reason cops are busy is because they are always pulling over drunks instead of dropping by his house. |

I wonder how this would hold up under the scrunity of the press? Either that, it's a very small family and Brian has very few friends. |

I'll back Brian up. I heard that little tidbit as well and was also shocked that no one made a big deal about it, especially the well funded spin machine known as MADD. Kwame's family would have been open game. I won't disagree too much with the actual comment myself because I think our drinking and driving laws are nothing but federally mandated junk laws based on incomplete junk data whose primary purpose is to rake in the cash, but I'll disagree with the logic that you don't need to follow a law just because its a terrible law. Advocating a change in the law is one thing, but advocating breaking it is quite another. Does anyone know what his BAC was? Was he drunk driving, 0.15, or just drinking and driving, 0.07? |

His level of intoxity was reported and he was over the legal limit. Helmut should hope this is handled now instead of when he takes office. Assuming he wins, it becomes a stain on his administration. Handled today and its pre-administration. Of course it could hurt his election when the details are made public and scrutinized. |

He should have publicly kicked his son's ass for drinking and driving. If you get caught you don't make excuses. The papers reported him as swerving across the middle line. That is bad. Hendrix should simply have stated. It was wrong and I don't condone this behavior. Again typical Hendrix - I am above the law attitude. |

"Swerving across the middle line" is pretty much a standard line that police use in their alcohol case reports, whether the accused did it or not. "Ilovedetroit" keep trying. You and McPhail (possibly the same person) can keep pushing "the real story" about all things Hendrix. |

Whatever Metro - There is no excuse for drinking and driving. I do think the papers are blowing it out of proportion - however, don't make excuses where there should be none. |

You are truly a fraud "Ilovedetroit". Pointing out information that attorneys as well as law enforcement officials routinely acknowledge is a part of how alcohol cases are handled is not "making excuses". You're the same person that was attempting to smear Stephen Hendrix by touting "the real story", not to mention your attacks on Freman Hendrix as well as your constantly changing stories about who you really are. |
