Coroner Leon Jones..........Macon GA Leaves Me SMH

Coroner Leon Jones

Stop being a lapdog for bigots, racists, white supremacists, and white folk pretending not to be racist here in Macon. You are the Coroner of Macon not a historian of the civil war.  Stick with what you know.  You are right the Confederate Monument on Cotton Avenue isn't killing our black men, however, the person(s) the monument represents was complicit in the killing of black men and women.

 

Seeing that you are so knowledgeable, do you know whether the Confederate Monuments are causing the drug overdoses/opioid addictions of young white men and women (white on white drug crimes) in Macon/Nationwide or causing the number of rolling meth lab to increase in our city?  If so maybe you can pass on that same wisdom/knowledge to the public as you did for the recent shootings and killing that took place this weekend.  As I said, stick with what you know and stop trying to make a mockery of the black community we have enough pseudo/misdirected/deceptive//misleading/perceptions of our community from others.  We don't need it from one of our own.  Our young men and women need a hand-up, not to be looked down on.  Just as the community is coming together to help young white men and women with their addictions/drug problems, there should be the same amount of energy/resources put into helping our young black men and women.  Death is death....who knows that better than you.

To "The Telegraph " I have one request of your journalist when reporting crime in the black community or just reporting in general, and that is use journalistic integrity...........not a veneer of journalistic integrity. Sometimes it is best to use your own discretion in repeating/printing/reporting "STUPID STATEMENTS".

My heartfelt condolences goes out to the families of the injured and family of the young black man who died. "BLM", too.
