@word girl
Lol, never. I am
Wrong link, sorry came from my cache
I’m glad that wasn’t Naomi.
Did you guys see facebook ?
I am on my 5th post of Ms. Jone’s audible words to the Sharpton family.
Very respectfully, and I shared this with Kelly earlier, I am not going to give that woman a soundbite of even a syllable. She would love that. Not up in here, lol.

From B —(not exact words, but y’all know what I mean) accidental murder is not left on display in the manner Megan was found.
If it was accidental, (and we know its not) she would not have been left where she was. Ten steps away are thick heavy woods, ten steps the other way is the lake.
As stated before, trauma in a horrid way was found to be her cause of death.
She was lured, she was targeted.
That’s no accident.
If his wife truly had nothing to do with it, she would NOT be standing by her sick f**) of a husband.
B, feel free to edit my cursing. I’m pissed.
Christy, my dear lady, I did just a snib. I know y’all refer to me as the wet blanket on occasion around here, and so that I don’t sound like a total hypocrite to those that know I can invent new curse words, string them with old ones, spell them backwards and say them in multiple languages, I KNOW-
Because this community is so small, and everyone is still living in it, I feel a sense of obligation to keep dumping ice in the bucket we dump our feet into at the end of the day. (Think beach volleyball).
Keep the faith, the Mrs. is fooling nobody and I will damned if I am going to have her think she can goad anyone. Most especially Megan’s loved ones.

The twitter link may not be Naomi Jones of the UK. The pose in the link appears to be a photo of Sara Brightman that was taken from a CD jacket. Sara Brightman is an English singer with an opera and popular music following. A very beautiful and talented lady.
Coffee county is a very small county in land area. The majority of the population is centered in the county seat.
The county jail is overcrowded and a new jail is to be built. With a county population of less than 100,000 and a jail population of approx. 250 inmates, the sheriff and local LE do not seem to have a problem finding people to lock up. They are all apparently working to capacity.
If the majority of the jail population is there because of alcohol or drug related crimes, then this county has a major problem with drugs and alcohol. Addictive people will often do whatever it takes to get their next fix.
Just saw DJ on the news for his court appearance hair gel intact. Makes me nauseous. YUCK
B,
Is the Mrs. reading here?

You don’t like her hat. You LOVE her hate. That’s the second time you’ve complimented her on it (the other goes a while back).
Seriously, I’m lol’n cause you want that hat. Friendy rules: never buy the same clothes as your friendies. Just borrow it.

Wow. Just….wow.
Here’s an oppty to see a mind which shows no remorse, no stress, no anything. It’s like reading tweets from a person whose worse experience was chipping a nail the day before a job interview.
This ‘twit’ account seals it for me. Life goes on for Mrs. Jones. It always did.
Worse….she’s pullin the ‘single card’ or ‘no association to this mess’….
not her, my bad, my link posted from my cache.

I’d like to quote a few brief words by P!nk….
stupid stupid girl
I saw news coverage from the courtroom today. It said that Demon Jones’ lawyer didn’t show and that he’ll be back in the courtroom on Friday. So did Flossie even turn his back on this monster? OMG how evil Naomi is for saying the things to Kelly that she did! IMO she has Megan’s blood all over her hands too!!!

lol, you know that was my poor edit, thanks for calling me out.
Anyway- so did ya?

I maybe should be posting this on Holly Bobo’s thread, but I haven’t really followed that case at all so I’m gonna just post it here. It does appear the University of Tennessee used/uses D&S Builders per the following document. However, the only thing I can find is their work on the Greenville 4-H Youth Camp, some 5 hours away. FWIW, just posting this because the improvements being made there seem to have taken somewhere up to 5 years, so it was an ongoing project. Don’t know if DJ ever worked there, but I was wondering if anyone who does know Holly’s case, knows whether or not she might have had an involvement with that 4-H camp? Volunteer counselor or something.

I didn’t see what Naomi posted to Kelly’s page. Can someone fill me in?
I honestly don’t think that’s the correct Naomi Jones. She uses quite a bit of British slang to live on Tullahoma.
Not her, my cache posted that link, my bad. Are we reading other comments folks, lol?
B
Blink – Naomi thinks she’s tough. She is worse than I thought. Not only is she standing by her murdering, rapist husband but she’s advertising it as well. Intimidation and scare tactics right at the courthouse, courtesy of Mrs. Donnie Demon.
This spawn of the devil should not be in charge of anyone’s welfare, her children or her patients. I can only hope that the State of Tennessee re-evaluates her license.
This community and Ms. Sharpton had to somewhat move heaven and earth to get DJ behind bars while they patiently wait for the additional charges. Should we even be confident that the Mrs. has been invited for a pow-wow with LE?
Do you think there was another plan for Meg and the circumstances changed during said plan?
I am not sure I believe this was a random lure rape hoping he could keep her quiet, definitely not.

The above video says that “last week” police searched DJ’s trailer in Tullahoma….for 9 hours! I thought he lived in a house. Does he own multiple properties? I know his mother probably does, but does he? Was he renting to Gifford? OMG
@Florida girl
No. I believe Megan’s murder was a planned message and premeditated. Not random, although I do not believe she had a clue.
Ms. Jones seriously has no idea that 3 different women have come forward privately that have been involved in an ongoing sexual relationship with Jones. One claims to have a child with him nobody was aware of.
How desperate do we think he is for her not to find hat out.
From the Fox17 story…..
+++
Last week,authorities spent 9-hours searching Donnie Jones’ trailer in Tullahoma. They found a gun and ammo inside which is illegal because jones’ is a convicted felon. Detectives consider him a dangerous man.
“I know that he had a 98-escape when he actually tried to kidnap two young ladies in a car and made them take him to the interstate,” said Detective Todd Hindman of the Franklin County Sheriff’s Department.
In court,Jones asked the judge for a speedy trail,and he mouthing to his relatives in what appeared to be “I didn’t do it.”
+++++++
First- what relatives of his were there? Seriously? Was it just Mrs Demon?
Second- it wasn’t a trailer they searched of Di’s. … but Idc about that misinformation.
If you’re local and planning on showing support Friday, at the courthouse, lets do it quietly, en masse.
Respect the courthouse- say F.U. to DJ and Mrs with side eyes >__> and glares. Strength in numbers for Kelly and family- for Megan.
1. Yes Christy, that was very poor reporting, most was wrong. Most importantly, right now, this suspect is not facing any charges relative to Meg’s case. We need to keep that pressure on. He is in jail, and that means in the short term Kelly and her family’s goal of insuring this would not happen to another woman is sound, but as Kelly would tell you, she is adamant an indictment and filing of charges in Megan’s death should be immediate.
2. Support of the Sharpton family in court. If you go, I am asking you as a professional and I am asking you as an advocate, (you being the public, not Christy specifically) to show support as Christy has asked and I know Kelly and her family would agree. It is my sincere belief that Jones et al are hopeful to produce a reaction that could interfere with the proceedings currently or going forward.
This is a marathon, and not a sprint and we need to collectively will our support to Meg’s family.

2.
@CS. planned message:
to whom? about what?
was she a friend of one of the 3?
Blink, if I am correct I looked up blink on crime on facebook and worte you a message? Let’s see if we can talk that way?? I tried too send a friend request but it wouldn’t let me??
Does Naomi have a real facebook? I’m reading that the link too the facebook is not her? Does anyone have the link to her real facebook?!
It is your FB setting. Check it now.
B
Thank you Queenie -
I don’t have speakers at work, that’s her in the pink shirt ?
Looks like she’s stomping out of there.
I see DJ threw up the gang signs first thing.
Now that he is arrested can you release more information? Or are you waiting until he is formally charged with murder?
Naomi thought her and Demon had no secrets.
Can’t wait – ” Hell hath no FURY like a woman scorned “
In reference to the Fox17 story…
Another Nashville station reported that Donnie Jones’ attorney was a no-show. I watched the Fox17 piece after hearing that information and it appears to me Jones is trying to ask where someone is. I think he’s inquiring about Davis, but I wasn’t in the courtroom and that’s just a guess…
Yes, Blink, exactly. If we are going to be at the courthouse we are going as PEACE for MEGAN not anything else. PLEASE do not respond to these miscreants for any purpose. They have taken enough from us, please do NOT give them any more… even if you have a really good gutteral response, don’t. This is about PEACE and NUMBERS… not a fight. In Megan’s name and I wish nothing more than that to be our message. Respectfully, Kelly
The more people that are in the courtroom supporting Megan’s family, the better. Judges take note of that type of appearance. This will also send a message to Mr. Jones and all his supporters that the community will not sit still for this type of behavior.
Pack the courtroom with more outside. The criminal element will get the message that Coffee county has come together to put a stop to their bad behavior.
I want to apologize to everyone.
I know that you are probably sick of me going on and on about Naomi.
As this unfolds I think we will learn much about her and my concern is that I wish her to be held just as accountable.
I will try to be patient and move on…
I wonder if the gun Jones was found to have in his posession can be tested to see if it is responsible for the shots fired at the Sharpton home? This guy is a real punk, i`d pound him to the ground and i`m sure there are plenty in jail who would take pleasure in doing the same.
@Florida Girl -
Yes, that’s her, as identified in the voice-over.
I don’t think DJ was throwing gang signs — looks more like a desperate “CALL ME.”
It is my understanding that at some point he asked Naomi if she had his cell phone, although I do not know at what point that was.
B
What does that hand signage mean that he did in the video when he walked in? Is that some kind of gang thing?
I saw that court clip too, Demon Weenie Jones Jr. mouthing ‘I didn’t do it’.
This is pure speculation! Not intended to be taken as truth or fact. I think it’s quite possible charges for Megan’s murder are around the corner. Demon gave us a clue to what’s really on his mind with that little innocent lip read.
More importantly, he was looking towards the cameras. That was for the public, peeps….imho. We also got brief insight into Demon Weenie’s strategy even before he’s been formally signed. I didn’t do it = someone else is going down via Demon’s yap. Like Creature’s egg donor, he’ll lie under oath without blinking an eye.
Expected the expected.
Love and prayers, always. to Kelly, the Sharpton family and the beautiful Tullahoma/area communities.
Ps….B, who’s this ‘cache’ you speak of.
I knew that comment was familiar. Teasin you friendy. A Silly Sally tini on me. *clink*
I apologize if I missed this post,I recently started following this investigation. If Naomi gave Meg the job lead….has LE vetted this ‘interview’ that the job/interview existed?? I know referring someone to a job that the person ends up deceased enroute to it doesn’t make the person a criminal. But if the job was a ruse…. If this job interview was not legit and a complete setup, why is Naomi still on the streets?
I am not sure what his hand signals meant. It looked like he was making the “hang loose” sign to someone, presumably Naomi. And it looks like he is saying, “I don’t know,” not “I didn’t do it”. This is such a bizarre case. But I find myself saying that about all of them . . .
lol, twink finally shows signs of needing to brush up on something,
Your assignment, gang signage of a WASP in a net.
B
Thanks for the link, Queenie, and your alert, FLgirl. No speakers needed to see the stomp-out by Naomi Jones at 0:24-0:25/1:34
http://www.fox17.com/newsroom/top_stories/videos/wztv_vid_14050.shtml
If you run the video full screen it is easy to see the right-handed gang sign given by inmate Donnie Jones. He looked straight into the camera, flashed the sign, mouthed the words, “I love you” and sat down.
The video is edited and the sequence may be off, but following NJ’s departure, quickly followed by a uniformed officer, DJ mouths a few more words (1:17-1:22) and adjusts his gaze to reflect a more wide-eyed innocence.
“I didn’t do it” DJ mouths, as he flashes another gang sign (unity).
This man is presumed innocent today of any charge against him. It is the burden of the State of Tennessee to prove that he is guilty.
Ok I would never defend this scum, but being in the field, and considered by some as an expert, “gang sign” is a stretch…
lol, agreed
B
I’m seeing conflicting reports regarding bail.
I thought No Bail was set, and then a newschannel in Tn said that it’s now set at $500,000.00,
If thats true, then what are the odds someone in his family will offer up the 10% and bail him out?
I’m very very worried about that and Kelly, if I still lived in Smyrna, I’d be there friday in a heartbeat.
I think at the end he made a sign for a phone, and said something like “I don’t know” probably regarding where his ‘lawyer’ was.
That’s my opinion.
I don’t believe it is a gang sign.
At first it was probably the phone sign to the Mrs Demon as well. He appeared to be trying to get her attention.
Probably questioning that he hadn’t heard from his lawyer.
@Queenie – Yes, that’s his specialty…
pssttt… Call Me Babe..
where did you see that?
B
THUD.
It is my understanding that is being edited at the moment, if that does not work out, I will address.
B
The video of Demon looks like he is making eye contact with someone to send a message- not like to the general public. Whoever said something about his cell phone, would make sense- he either wants someone to get his cell phone or someone to call him- good luck buddy.
Twas me- he asked if Naomi had his cell phone, it was heard in open court.
B
He isn’t saying “i didn’t do it”. he is saying something like “I don’t know” and his gang sign is about a phone. He is a white trash thug – not a real gangster. I think he is saying did you not call or did someone not call you. If Flossy hadn’t rolled his biga$$ up in the courtroom promptly at 9 a.m. Donnie was probably wondering where he was. Alternatively, he could be asking about where his own phone is since there is likely to be some real bad stuff in the inbox. I also think that the previously cocksure Donnie who knew Meg would be found on Awalt (despite what bad news reporters say that road is very well traveled all hours of the day and night) and who didn’t mind trotting his self all over town knowing people were all talking about him being a killer is a bit unsure of what is going to happen to him. If I am wrong and he isn’t worried now, he will be soon. Naomi is pure class and grace. I don’t know how the family kept their well mannered poise. Obviously Kelly’s mother did as good a job of raising her as Kelly did raising her own children. I do not know if I could have been a good Christian to Naomi if she had the gall to cuss me. Clearly she doesn’t know how to present herself in a courtroom which is very surprising considering that used to be her eharmony.
I am hoping that word is a rooster-based adjective, but someone has the gift of snark
B
FWIW I agree that it looked like he mouthed “I don’t know.”
After reading the Tullahoma news story I have my doubts that anything will happen Friday except put off. They report that he stated he had attorney’s in Nashville but they were not in the court room and yes he did want a public defender and he replied yes and although he ask for speedy the newly appointed attorney will ask for time. Things in court take FOREVER to come to completion.
Blink please alter my post I mistyped about public defender
needs to say:
They report that he stated he had attorney’s in Nashville buyt they were not in the courtroom and yes he did want a public defender when ask.
Operative word being had.
B
So is his lawyer court appointed? Sorry for the redundancies earlier. I really need to stop posting & reading from my phone. I was told Naomi asked for a police esscort at the ch because she is “afraid for her safety.” She was rushing out to call his lawyer, not defending her. Just what LE told me.
