First Black Mayor Found Dead....

Did y'all hear about this? Mayor-Elect Gerald Washington was found shot to death on Dec. 30 in a parking lot 11 days after being sworn into office. His gun was found by the body. He would've been the first black mayor in the Louisiana town of Westlake. The coroner and sheriff are calling it a suicide, but no suicide note was found and he was shot in the chest ((not head)) hmmmm. All this happened the day BEFORE he's supposed to take the office of mayor? Hmmmmm even though the town is about 80% white he won nearly 70% of the vote.

Many are beginning to say that this was murder and are accusing the police of a coverup...hmmmm well I ((KNOW)) that in Lousyana as well as MANY parts of the south..racism and prejudice run rampant...I will reserve judgement as this story develops and of COURSE i'll keep you all aware of developments....
