"Mr. Mayor…for the love of GOD!!!"

Just checked to see how Othor is doing. Woof, it don't sound great, if this broadsheet against Fabulous Frank Melton's latest neighborhood sleepovers is any indicator:

Instead of spending the night around town (as noble as this might be), please answer the federal questions about these recent allegations surrounding your involvement in the death of officer Robert Washington.

Can you tell us why Sharrod Moore and Stephan Hickman both claim to know you and you are denying that they do?
Can you tell us why former police chief Robert Johnson is publicly stating that you know both of these young men?
Can you tell us your involvement -if any-in the drug climate in this city?
Can you explain the appointment of Malcolm McMillin as chief?
Can you explain to us why you really wanted to be mayor of this city?
Can you explain and help us understand why drug dealers, gang members feel so comfortable talking to you and end up staying at your house or turning themselves in to you?

Dear Mr. Mayor:

I’m having a hard time understanding what is going on in this city. It is no secret that I publicly endorsed and campaigned for your opponent Harvey Johnson. It is no secret that I admired Harvey Johnson’s leadership style, but when we lost the race for mayor, while disappointed, I was willing to give you the benefit of the doubt. I picked up my marbles went home, regrouped and came back to the playing field.

I thought, this man has become mayor, by an overwhelmingly amount of support. I thought of the old cliche’ “if you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em.”
So, I stepped back with my crticism of you and decided to give you an opportunity to serve.

I watched, I waited for you to prove your passion for this city. I watched, I waited for you to heed the call that had been given to you.
I watched, I waited for you to prove me wrong. I watched, I waited for my friends that I had to separate from to come to me and say, “look at the great job Frank is doing.” I’m still waiting for this!

Mr. Mayor, for the love of Christ, please do the right thing! For once during your stay in Jackson, show us that you have it in you to do the right thing.

For the love of God, indeed. Woof.
