Kansas City's FIRST family undergoes a bit more drama as the weekend starts.
The brother of Kansas City Mayor Sly James pleaded guilty Friday to two domestic assault charges and was sentenced to seven years in prison.
The real question . . .
Given Mayor Sly's "Hands Off" approach to news about family ties to criminality . . .
Does this hurt his credibility among on the urban core and regarding issues on crime which seem to be reemerging?!?!
The wisdom among Kansas City's political elite is that Mayor Sly's beautiful Sly can win any issue given that HE HAS SCORED TWO TAX INCREASED DURING A RECESSION . . . That's sound logic but I'm not sure if it accounts for neighborhood sentiment.
DEVELOPING . . .
who else is there to vote for? That's the question.
ReplyDeleteOne of the good reverends is going to run and that will take Sly out of the east side vote which will leave him vulnerable to a decent Northland candidate.
ReplyDeleteWell from the looks of the family tree it would appear Sly will be charged with something soon.
ReplyDeleteLike impersonating a Mayor?
Sly will get him out in 6 months for good behavior, or he may appeal the case to obama-yo-momma and have him pardoned.
ReplyDeleteSuper Dave is right for giving him shit. He has done nothing but tax and spend.
ReplyDeleteHow long till his nephew joins him?
ReplyDeleteK Js ready to suk sum cok !
ReplyDeleteFucking shame that the coward media put it out at the end of the day like this and then won't allow any comment.
ReplyDeleteFUCK YOU KC!
That's a damn shame. Well it just goes to show you that the limb doesn't fall far from the tree. Sly can hide behind his law license for now but it's just a matter of time before he has to pay the piper.
ReplyDeleteOh well...
Get a grip people, our Mayor hasn't talked to his brother in years. I see the point about the son because Sylvester supports him but the brother is an estranged brother and they are not close. Sly has enough on his hands, he doesn't need to be playing baby sitter to a middle-aged man. Let's get real.
ReplyDeleteI loved him dearly, but my brother did prison time for firebombing and a multitude of other crimes that he was caught for.
ReplyDeleteI don't know what he didn't get caught for.
I do know, he belonged in prison and died young.
I loved him, he was what he was.
Blood is blood.
The Mayor wasn't involved with his brothers crimes.
I can't toss any stones outta my glass house.
Nigga just be niggering!
ReplyDeleteI thought Kansas City wanted a mayor we could respect. Wrong again.

ReplyDeleteThe Lobbyist Whore?
Sly and his "family" are scum.
The Mayor's brother is no reflection on the men. Grown men make their own choices, it's sad, but true.
ReplyDeleteSly has lost all credibility. He will not be elected Mayor again.
ReplyDeleteJust wait and see.
Vote out Obama. vote out James. Get rid of holder, get rid of Forte. And throw in Janet Napolitano for diversity's sake. Collateral damage everywhere.
ReplyDeleteEric Holder is a disgrace!
ReplyDeleteThe stoplight fiasco is more of a danger to Sly than his estranged brother. We all have family problems and problem families.
ReplyDeleteMayor Funky, we are sorry, come back we miss you.
ReplyDeleteSee Funk really did win
ReplyDeleteYou can pick your friends but you are stuck with your relatives. Many families have that bad seed that they wish would disappear or the kid gone wrong. But that often has everything to do with the person's choices. It's not up to the mayor to control his brother's behavior. He couldn't even if he wanted to. His brother's behavior should have zero impact on our mayor and how people view him.
ReplyDeleteIt's not like he borrowed over a million bucks on a car wash worth 1/5th of that amount and is now refusing to pay it back.

ReplyDelete+1 on your comment.
I hope too that the authorities will come down really hard on this thug for impersonating a Mayor?
Nobody is calling Obama about his relatives behaving badly... wonder why? This has everything to do with the character of Sly. Let's stop making excuses. Lots of crooks have law licenses. Let's stop pretending that everyone with a law licence should be the next Pope! Lawyers by their very nature are less than desirable creatures. They get into practice specifically to rip people off. $10,000 retainer!? Puh-lease!
