Charles Pugh...Not a Victim

Charles Pugh

I have heard for the last two days that Charles Pugh was about to get fired.  He had disappeared from the City/County Building and had left his car.  He had deleted his social media pages, Facebook and Twitter and asked Kevin Orr for a medical leave.  I also heard that Gary Brown would be Deputy Emergency Manger, under Kevin Orr.  Nobody has linked these situations together, until now.  One thing I suspect is that this is a witch hunt, but it has nothing to do with Pugh's sexual orientation.  It has to do with Gary Brown getting that job.  Gary Brown is an ex-cop and you know how I feel about cops.

And why are people so easy to forgive Brown and allow him to run the city?  Just because Kwame Kilpatrick did him wrong, does not necessarily mean that Gary Brown is a good person.  I think that this is all an attempt to drag Pugh through the mud and get rid of him once and for all.  He has a lot of influence over the people of Detroit.  He dethroned the mighty Kenneth Crockrel, by getting more votes than the veteran Councilman in his first run for office.  Not to say that Pugh is a saint, but follow me, I'm trying to tell a story.

Pugh had more enemies than he could ever fathom.  He should have never done anything that would be misconstrued as favorable to a young man.  He is a gay man, in a very powerful position and if he was to deal with young men, he should have been more careful than he was.  He has created a huge hole for himself that they will not let him dig himself out of.  He will be fired today, if he don't show up.  If he does show up, then he will have to face the affects of the article Channel 7 Action News has posted on their website.  So, either way he loses.

This political homicide and with the help of Pugh, political suicide.  He ain't gonna make through this.  They are hitting him from both sides.  If he can stand this type of scrutiny, which it seems he can not, he will go down in history.  He will pull a Bill Clinton on the people of South Eastern Michigan.  I watched on Fox 2 News today, and it seems that he won't be going back there.  His Public Relation skills are horrible.  He has a loyal following and that is obvious, because the people allowed him to be a City Councilperson, when he wasn't even paying his rent!

That means he had the ear of the same fools who voted for Kilpatrick, and walked around talking about they would vote for him again.  They have some very "special" people in Detroit.  They somehow believe that when the media goes after a person, they are doing it, because they know that this person will make a change to their condition.  They actually believe that the media is trying to stop their savoir.  Those are the ideas that Coleman Young put in their minds long ago.  These ideas have been passed down to their children and their children's children.  They could never believe that Pugh, just didn't pay his mortgage.  They gave him every benefit and never had any doubt, because of the two percent of Detroit that vote, the majority of them voted for him.

That's what's scary to a man like Snyder.  A man's ability to rally a bunch of people who aren't that smart.  What Pugh did was the equivalence of a bank lending money to Bernie Madoff.  You already know he's a crook, so why bother.  The same with Pugh, he dressed to the 9's, but he couldn't pay a mortgage?  So that meant that Detroit would look good, but would no longer own what they lived in?  They let a man like that run their council?  Like I said, "Not so smart".

Honestly, I always thought there was something fishy about Pugh.  Who leaves a high-profiled job at Fox 2 News and run for an office your not sure you will get?  Plus, he only makes $79,000 a year for headaches!  A man who is so superficial, had to do it, because he wants people to believe he is self-less.  Not only that, but a radio career with one of the largest radio stations in Detroit.  No one ever dug deep enough into that.  At least he never satisfied me with an answer.  Now to hear that he is buying Piston tickets and $300 briefcases.  Giving a young man over $500 to go to his prom.  Where is he getting all of that money?  Even if he didn't pay his mortgage that's a lot of money!  Either way you look at it, there is something about Pugh that never added up.  NEVER!

I don't think he got along with the staff at Fox 2.  He was too arrogant and lacked cohesiveness.  I believe that he was a person all to himself and no one could relate to his way of thinking.  Because who buys the clothes he wore and fail to pay his rent?  It's all a show and the need to impress people.  He wants to be the star of the show, without the work by throwing around lots of money.  Money he doesn't have and I would hate to see what his bills look like these days.  Yeah, they are going to get rid of him and it's not because he can make a difference, but because he is a shell of a man.  A phony who will use his platform and his notoriety to further his agenda, and not that of the city's.

My mother thinks that he has AIDS, and I don't know.  With a person like him, I think he wants us to believe that he has AIDS.  It would help him get out the ditch he's pitched for himself.  I know he has lost lots of weight that make people speculate, but I would like to see the medical report if he says he does.  It all would fit in too well in the present circumstances, and maybe he is sick.  If he is, I would say what William Garrison said about Oswald when captured outside the movie theater the day Kennedy was killed, "I don't buy it."  If he does, however, it does not get him off the hook for any of the things he's done.  I believe that he will resign, anyway, because he has no power as a councilman.  All he could do is cause a bunch of trouble!
