"A former offensive lineman for the Florida A&M University football team, Kilpatrick stands at 6'4", and weighs upwards of 300 lbs. "

Some years back I attended a development tour with a luncheon at Ford Field (still awaiting its first professional football team). Prior to K2's arrival, the perimeter was secured, everyone had to sit, and he was escorted in by at least three guys wearing Secret Sevice-like ear radios. One of them sat at my table, near the stage. (Curiously, the guard did not survey the room or watch the exits; he sat there gazing at the boss.) The audience was sprinkled with high-level staffers ready with "questions" about accomplishments. After K2 spoke, those cheerleaders leapt to their feet for a standing O, and the guards hustled him out in a tight little knot.

In contrast, the other night, said party central house on Fulton sported a sign taped to the front door: "Victory Party -- come on in!" and it was propped ajar. No guards. No cops. I parked my bike on the front porch. No one frisked me, no metal detectors, no one checking ID.

There was no security anywhere near the sign collector, either.
