How speaking up for road workers in Mississippi made me a threat to the system

“Two men died. The crew asked for help. The county ignored them. I told the truth — and they came for me.”
Over the weekend in Washington County, Mississippi, two county employees lost their lives. The specifics of how and why are still murky, and that’s no accident. But what happened next? That was crystal clear.
Road crew workers — shaken, grieving, and afraid — called an impromptu emergency meeting with the Board of Supervisors President Carl McGee to demand answers about working conditions, safety issues, and general mistreatment.
They weren’t political. They weren’t activists. They were just blue-collar men, trying to survive a job that no one talks about until there’s blood on the pavement.
And I was there to document it.

The men stood up. They spoke plainly. Some were trembling. Some angry. All of them were done being silent.
They told McGee that working for the county was dangerous — that basic equipment was missing, supervisors ignored warnings, and morale was beyond broken.
I filmed what I could. I told the story. And that is when the targeting began.
🧨 This is the moment it all changed.
I wasn’t just some guy with a camera anymore. I was a liability.
Because in Mississippi — truth is a crime if it threatens the wrong people.
They came after me. Not with facts, not with fairness — but with lies, retaliation, and whispers behind closed doors.
But I don’t regret it for one second. Because those men mattered.
And their story still does.
✊🏽 To the workers who spoke up that day — I haven’t forgotten you.
Neither have the people who see this and realize:
This ain’t just about one county. It’s about every place where good people get crushed by corrupt systems and ignored until they’re gone.
You spoke. I listened. And I still do.

🙏 Prayer for the Homies and the Haters:
Lord, I lift up the voices of the working men whose warnings were ignored. I pray for the families of the fallen and for justice to visit the halls of those who pretend to lead. For those who lied about me, attacked me, or turned a blind eye — I ask for conviction or exposure.
And for the brothers who stood beside me when the world went silent: I thank You, God, for keeping us standing, even when it hurts. Amen.
