Reading the story of Raphael Johnson, I know that man deserve a second chance when they have done wrong. Mr. Johnson is one of those individuals that stepped up and decided that he was going to dedicate his life to doing good.
However, I can't support an ex-con for the city council. It would throw more dirt onto a city that has received enough dirt to be covered for the next 20 years. Detroit can not have a murderer serving the public in an elected position. I have no problem with Mr. Johnson serving the public but it cannot be in city council chambers. I hope more people that are in the same situation as Mr. Johnson use him as an example on how to make things right, but running for public office, no.
