NORTH CAROLINA—A North Carolina man, Darius Sessoms, 25 was charged with first-degree murder for the homicide of a 5-year-old boy who was shot in the head in his Wilson neighborhood on Sunday, August 9.
Cannon Blake Hinnant was riding his bike outside his father’s house when he was shot in the head. The boy’s two sisters saw the event happen.
Doris Lybrand, who allegedly witnessed the shooting, said she saw Sessoms running up to the boy, putting a gun in his head, firing, and running back to his house.
The Wilson Police Department arrived at around 5:30 p.m. to 5100 block in Archers Road and they located the 5-year-old with a gunshot wound. He was transported to Wilson Medical Center where he died due to his injuries.
#SayHisName trends on social media after mainstream media’s silence on the atrocious killing of 5-year-old Cannon Hinnant. Not until outrage on SM, did CNN ever mention it.
Do we really live in a country where we glorify a fentanyl addled crackhead and burn down major cities because of his death, and this 5-year-old kid, shot in the head, gets no coverage on CNN, MSNBC et al?
Where is the outrage for Cannon Hinnant? Did his life matter?

Of course we do.
Where is the outrage for Cannon Hinnant?
Did his life matter?
Not if he wasn’t Black, it didn’t.

In case this flaming A-Hole @aDaniBea5 didn’t make it exactly clear, the dude who shot this little boy in the head was a Black dude:

Thus, his life matters.
Not so the life of the little boy, who was white.

Trump didn’t bring this racial violence to our society. Most of it has occurred in cities and states controlled by Democrats. For some reason it seems they have lost their liberal minds and have decided to bring the greatest country on earth down. Hopefully enough people with good sense will vote them out of office and restore this great land of opportunity to its glory.

May God give this little man’s family strength to go through the pain of the killing of their son. It’s difficult to lose a child through sickness or accidents. To lose a child by murder is devastating. Why hurt a child?

I think this would be a wonderful opportunity to pause for a
moment and give thanks for the many great contributions of the Black community and their culture to our society. Their peaceful and generous nature makes them ideal neighbors, lending testimony to their exceptional family values and parenting skills unrivaled by any other culture. Their commitment to academic excellence enriches our schools and serves as an example to all who hope to achieve prominence as a people. Real Estate values are fueled by the influx of African Americans into an area due to their caring and respectful nurturing of these communities, an example of all they have achieved by their enthusiasm for self-improvement through hard work and a self-reliant can-do nature. Without their industrious and creative drive, we would be poorer as a nation.
Presently enriching the cities of Spokane WA, Chicago IL, Philadelphia PA, Washington D.C., St. Louis MO, New Orleans LA, Los Angeles CA, Flint MI, Wilson, NC, Baltimore MD, Pontiac MI, Gary Ind., Newark NJ, Cleveland OH, Atlanta GA, Richmond VA, Memphis TN, Birmingham AL, Camden NJ; and let’s not forget Detroit, the tourism capital of the world!

And, BTW, not a peep from Mr. Ford, Ms. Van Cleif, Ms. Barefoot nor Ms. Stugis on this matter.
I doubt they even know how to spell hypocrisy.

The sturgis woman is mouthy. I am surprised that she could contain herself.
