Metro Times

Mike Rogers, Republican U.S. Senate candidate for Michigan at the Republican Midterm Convention in Dallas Thursday night.

Detroit Metro Times writing that Mike Rogers is spending the run-up to the 25th anniversary of September 11th, praising the sacrifice of first responders, including a Monroe firefighter who developed cancer after rushing to Ground Zero.

What Rogers failed to mention is that when Congress tried to guarantee medical care for responders sickened by the attacks...

He warned the program could threaten the nation's finances and voted against the legislation twice.

That was from the Detroit Metro Times.

His Democratic opponent in the race, Abdul El-Sayed, posted this video today.

We all remember where we were when the Twin Towers were hit.

Opposing teams were said to ask Tigers management to rearrange the team starts to ensure Fidrich could pitch in their city, thus helping to boost ticket sales.

Meantime, attendance at Tiger Stadium would swell from just over a million fans in 1975 to nearly 1.5 million in 1976, according to an article about Fidrich in the Detroit Metro Times in 2022.

The buzz around the bird had reached a crescendo, and something very special was about to happen.

On deck, his star rising, Fidrich is about to pitch in primetime, and things will never be the same again.

But Fidrich was successful, so that's really an essential element to it.

Fidrich finished the 1976 season with a record of 19-9 and a 2.34 earned run average and was the Runaway Rookie of the Year in the American League.

Opposing teams acutely aware of the box office draw that was Fidrich used to ask Tigers management to rearrange the team's pitching starts to ensure Fidrich could pitch in their city Meanwhile, attendance at Tiger Stadium swelled from just over a million fans in 1975 to nearly 1.5 million in 1976, according to an article about Fidrich in the Detroit Metro Times in 2022.

Fan attendance at Tiger Stadium routinely doubled or even tripled when Fidrich pitched.

It's really clear.

So there was a Detroit Metro Times article about the hearing that reported that Michigan Assistant Attorney General Scott Rothermel flatly stated that Kensu fit the profile of a sociopath.

And reading from a list of attributes associated with that diagnosis, not for him, but just he says it fits, he ticked off ones he felt corresponded to Kensu's personality.

Someone who blames others for acts he committed, is a con man, acts out sexually, lacks a realistic life plan, and is overly hostile, among other unflattering characteristics.

If you are looking for a deep dive into the contents of the transcripts, you should look here.

In addition to the podcast, we have also relied upon information included in a Detroit Metro Times article written about the hearing, among various other newspaper reports.

There will be descriptions of violence, control, sexual manipulation and abuse, and threats, so please proceed with caution.

Temujin Kensu, formerly Frederick Freeman, appeared before the parole board to answer questions several times throughout the proceedings.

The focus of the hearing was threefold, to assess Kensue's claims of innocence, to determine his character at the time of the murder, and to evaluate if he posed a threat to the public if released.

Well, it's

also like you think about a police report, especially Steve from the Metro Times, who took it and printed it after I was completely exonerated.

Yeah.

After all that
