I saw the video of Malik at the council hearing and I was appalled. I also heard his interview with Frank Beckman on WJR either yesterday or the day before.

I have mixed feeling for the guy, he doesn't want to burn down detroit as he stated, he is not a radical but he used terminology from radical '60's and now he has to account for it.

To his credit, he is a founding member of the Detroit 300 that is trying to take back the streets from the criminal element and I certainly can't fault him for that.

Unfortunately he is too entrenched in the power structure that has led to the downfall of Detroit and can not accept the fact that only an outside source recommended by Governor Snyder will be able to turn the city around.

His goals are the same but he can't accept the only logical solution..........

Detroit is actually in a lot better position than a lot of cities in the sense that there’s no way to go but up and the attitudes are slowly shifting toward a little self responsibility.

The city of Chicago for instance has a bigger debt than some nations and if the federal umbilical ever gets cut, we’ll be smelling the smoke all the way over here in central and east Michigan.
