Sheriff Who Hired Deputy Killer of Sonya Massey Will Resign Due to Public Pressure

The murder of Sonya Massey by Sangamon County Deputy Sean P Grayson, an officer with a known criminal history, who was hired by Sheriff Jack Campbell has sent shockwaves through the nation and ignited a nationwide call for accountability and justice.

Apparently the people’s voice has been heard because news broke today that he will in fact retire after previously remaining steadfast and refusing to step down reiterating that he didn’t see a reason to do so. Never mind Sonya’s blood who’s on his hands.

The online Change petition Demand Sheriff Jack Campbell’s Resignation and Investigation into Sangamon County Sheriff’s Department Hiring Practices has reached over 40,000 signatures and counting.

August is Montgomery Riverfront Brawl Month

August 7, 2024 marks the one year anniversary of the Montgomery Riverfront Brawl and social media is deeming it a national holiday.

The brawl started when Dameion Pickett, the co-captain of the Harriott II, asked the operators of a private boat that was docked in its space to move, getting only “obscene gestures” and “taunting” in response.

As the men approached Pickett, he sent what is now known as a distress call —the hat toss. Black men and women of all ages came to his rescue. The end result was pure chaos resulting in one of the black men clearing the scene with a white folding chair.

In the end, no major charges were filed by the FBI who investigated the incident as a possible hate crime. Dameion Pickett kept his job and is has now become somewhat of a national treasure with black people showing up to take pictures and show him love.
