Detroit Adult Entertainment: TAYLOR: Father of slain officer remembers the pain
July 31, 2010 at 3:25 pm | In Detroit adult entertainment | No Comments… Just your presence, along with the multitude of people, shows how many people care,” he said. “It’s unbelievably hard losing a loved one like that. You have your good days and you have your bad days, but it never gets easier.”
Though his son was killed six years ago, Bowens said, he has a core group of people who continue to support him. He said Edwards’ widow, Shannon, is going to need that same tight-knit group.
“Every time someone gets killed, you have an outcry for a couple of days and then it’s over,” Bowens said. “Right now, she has everybody there for her. The difference is two, four, six months down the road. Who is going to be there for her then? That’s where the support has to stay.”
Matthew Bowens, 21, of Lincoln Park and Fettig, 26, of Detroit were ambushed while sitting in their patrol car after pulling over Eric Lee Marshall for soliciting a prostitute.
Detroit Adult Entertainment: Legalize gay sex in public parks? Drolet sues over latest salvo in nasty …
July 31, 2010 at 8:01 am | In Detroit adult entertainment | No CommentsWith only days remaining before Michigan’s primary election, former State Rep. Leon Drolet has filed a 10-page anti-defamation suit against one of his challengers, current state Rep. Kim Meltzer, who accused him in a campaign flier of trying to legalize gay sex in public parks and restrooms.
“I’m stunned and saddened that Kim Meltzer would lower herself to the level of printing complete lies about me,” Drolet told the Detroit Free Press. “I am truly embarrassed for Kim. She owes the voters an apology.”
Meltzer’s accusation stems from a 2003 bill Drolet co-sponsored that sought to update a 1927 state law outlawing consenting sodomy by amending it to reference only “sodomy with an animal.” The legislation made no mention of public restrooms, and public sex of any type remains illegal.
Drolet filed a similar defamation suit in 2004, when a challenger for his seat in the state House of Representatives accused him in fliers of wanting to “legalize public sex involving kids and prostitution.”

Detroit Adult Entertainment: ‘Island of misfit toys’
July 31, 2010 at 8:01 am | In Detroit adult entertainment | No Comments… I remember when I was first starting the church and we moved here, I had people who said, ‘Oh, I don’t feel safe walking down that street,’ or, ‘I wouldn’t let my kids go there,’” says Kevin Rogers, pastor of New Song Church, which opened its doors in a former bar on Drouillard in 1997.
“That kind of past history and reputation has soured a lot of people from seeing that it’s a fairly positive community.” “Positive” is not likely the word that leaps to mind when most Windsorites think of Drouillard. But despite its reputation for crime, drugs and prostitution, this is a neighbourhood of small graces and big dreams, where residents seed wildflower mix in their city parks and where everyone — including the criminals, the “crackerjacks” (crack addicts) and the prostitutes — is invited to the dinner table.

Posted: 11:53 PM
Detroit 9WXYZ) – The Action News Investigators have learned the man who claims he was at the rumored Manoogian Mansion party – and saw Attorney General Mike Cox there — has a history of mental illness.
It made big headlines this week when Wilson Kay Jr said in the slain-stripper lawsuit that Mike Cox was at the rumored party.
But the timing of Kay’s claim raised eyebrows, coming just one week before the primary election.
Now Action News Investigator Heather Catallo has learned there are serious concerns about Kay’s mental health – and her investigation exposes a history of making unfounded allegations.
It was the bombshell leak that caused a stir… an affidavit from 33 year old Wilson Kay Jr. claiming he saw Attorney General Mike Cox get a lap dance at a party inside the Manoogian Mansion back in 2002. Kay also stated in his affidavit that he saw Kwame Kilpatrick at the party and that Carlita Kilpatrick used a table leg to beat exotic dancer Tamara Greene.

Detroit Strip Clubs: Index
July 31, 2010 at 1:49 am | In Detroit strip clubs | No CommentsNASHVILLE, Tenn. – It’s time for Jeff Fisher to open his 16th straight training camp with the Tennessee Titans, and that first practice Saturday will be a welcome return to football after a busy off-season.
Fisher expects Chris Johnson to show up, happy the Titans reshuffled some money to pay him more for 2010. Vince Young will be available for all 16 games, and Fisher hopes maybe more, with the NFL not punishing him for a Dallas strip club tussle in June.
DETROIT – Detroit Lions president Tom Lewand will be suspended for 30 days and fined US$100,000 for violating the NFL’s personal conduct policy following his guilty plea to driving while impaired, the league announced Friday.
The suspension begins Aug. 25 and Lewand will be permitted back at work Sept. 24. Lewand, who met in New York at the league office July 16 with commissioner Roger Goodell, also will do community service.
