A local Democrat politician made a shocking confession during a meeting this week that should prompt a full investigation.
As WKBN reported, Mel Witherspoon, the Democratic City Council President for Erie City, PA, flat-out admitted to killing another man decades ago when he was a teenager during the City Council’s bi-monthly meeting.
“I’m 17. I’m involved with a gang, the largest gang in Newark, New Jersey. I organize. We went over to Jersey City looking for the person,” the 80-year-old Witherspoon said. “Well, when we got there, we didn’t realize it was a family. And when you talk Jersey City and you talk family, you’re talking the mafia.”
Witherspoon went on to say that he was living in Omaha, Nebraska, at the time and bought a gun there. He then said some men came to his room and got high on drugs (likely marijuana).
