Are you kidding me?

From the Detroit News: Kwame Kilpatrick returned to the Manoogian Mansion just before 12:45 p.m., waving from the black Escalade and flashing what looked to be a "V" or peace sign to supporters lined up across the street.

"This is a sad day," said J. Renee Stevenson, a Detroit resident who had spent the morning outside the courthouse. Stevenson carried a handmade sign that read "Is this 2008 or 1968?"

Along with her was 27-year-old Karon McCarty with her own sign reading: "Whether he's right or wrong, vengeance is mine saith the Lord."

Jeanie Johnson watched all of the morning's activities on television before making her way to the Manoogian Mansion to await Kilpatrick's return. She was less than satisfied by the deal the mayor agreed to.

"I felt it was a little bit too harsh," said the Detroit resident. "He knows he made mistakes, but the jail time they included seemed harsh to me."

Prior to the mayor's arrival, Commika Shannon and her 11-year-old son Cavon also came to the mansion - partly as a show of support for the mayor and partly as a teaching experience.

"I want my son to know the consequences there are when you lie," Commika Shannon said.

Her son said he thought the mayor's jail sentence was wrong.

"He's human," he said. "Everyone lies. I know he lied under oath, but there are other people they could use that (jail) space for."
