Revenge killing

Post by liberty »

I will post this since there is no way it will ever get on the liberal news networks. I am always interested in why people do the things they do. I think this was an act of revenge for all the thousands of black people white racists kill every day, according to the liberal news media, which doesn't happen. Do you remember the Korean man who tried to shoot a little black boy? I think his attempt to gun down the boy was also motivated by revenge, but in his case, it was real. Blacks commit the vast majority of attacks on (so-called) Asians.

Black Man Executes Five-year-old White Boy in Front of His Sisters; National Media Ignore Story
by Selwyn Duke August 12, 2020



It’s a shocking, unthinkable crime: A man rushes a five-year-old neighbor boy playing outside and shoots him in the head, fatally, in broad daylight. But here’s what’s just as shocking: The national media — which couldn’t give enough ink to the death of criminal George Floyd — apparently don’t find this story newsworthy. It could be because unlike in the Floyd case, the victim is white and his killer is black.
As WSocTV.com reports, “A 25-year-old man accused of shooting his 5-year-old neighbor in the head at point blank range in Wilson, North Carolina on Sunday night has been charged with first-degree murder in the boy’s death.”
“Darius Nathaniel Sessoms, 25, was arrested Monday after fleeing the scene and is in the custody of Wilson Police and members of the U.S. Marshals Service Carolinas Regional Task Force, The Wilson Times reported,” the site continued.


“No details about a possible motive for the shooting have been released, but police said it was not random.”
“Little Cannon Hinnant was playing outside his father’s house with his two sisters, ages 7 and 8, in the city of Wilson around 5:30 p.m. Sunday,” the New York Post writes, adding detail. “Witness Doris Lybrand told WRAL.com that Sessoms ran up to the little boy, put the gun near his head and pulled the trigger before dashing back to his own house,” the paper continued.

“‘My first reaction was he’s playing with the kids,’ Lybrand said. ‘For a second, I thought, ‘That couldn’t happen.’ People don’t run across the street and kill kids’” (video on story below).

To be fair, we don’t know Sessoms’ motive, if this crime was racially motivated. (Note: While he must be deranged, deranged people can be influenced by identity-politics propaganda just like anyone else.) But we do know the national media’s motive in ignoring it while taking up the causes of criminals such as Floyd and Ferguson, Missouri’s Michael Brown: Hinnant’s story doesn’t advance their anti-white, blacks-as-victims, tear-down-the-system narrative and the desire by some to foment unrest.
This hasn’t escaped the notice of those beyond the EneMedia bubble, either, as the below tweets (courtesy of The Federalist Papers) evidence.

The Cannon Hinnant story being ignored by the media has pushed me off an edge, as you can see. I should probably delete my tweets now.
— Cassandra Fairbanks (@CassandraRules) August 11, 2020

As you may know, however, Hinnant’s story is not unusual in being an ignored black-on-white crime. Just last year, for example, 21-year-old Colorado resident Oghaleoghene Atunu was arrested and charged with first-degree attempted murder for purposely running over two 11- and 12-year-old white boys with his car (video below). He also faced 14 other charges — but one relating to a “hate crime” was as absent as the story’s national media coverage.

The media silence on anti-white “hate crimes” would perhaps be more understandable if, as the press would have you believe, 90 percent of interracial crimes were white-on-black. The truth is a bit different, however, as American Thinker reported in May:
Using the latest Bureau of Justice Statistics survey of criminal victimization (2018), Manhattan Institute researcher Heather Mac Donald reveals: “There were 593,598 interracial violent victimizations … between blacks and whites last year, including white-on-black and black-on-white attacks. Blacks committed 537,204 of those interracial felonies, or 90 percent, and whites committed 56,394 of them, or less than 10 percent.”
Mac Donald adds, “Blacks are also overrepresented among perpetrators of hate crimes — by 50 percent — according to the most recent Justice Department data from 2017; whites are underrepresented by 24 percent. This is particularly true for anti-gay and anti-Semitic hate crimes.” In other words, in spite of the narrative so often perpetuated by hate crime apologists, America does not have a problem with white-on-black hate crime.
The media’s skewed reporting actually leads to interracial violence. Why? Imagine you’re a black person living in America, and all you hear from media are stories about whites killing and abusing blacks. Might you not become angry and start to believe our country, and whites, are irredeemably “racist”? Might you not, if you were the right (wrong?) type of person, lash out in anger and perhaps even violence?

This isn’t theoretical, either. We’ve already witnessed black-on-white “revenge” crimes, such as in the George Zimmerman-Trayvon Martin incident’s wake.

Of course, the same anger is stoked when skewing perception of that really old news called history, such as when teaching about white-on-black slavery in America while largely ignoring the vast majority of all slavery — which mainly occurred elsewhere and was perpetrated by other groups.
Given that racial and ethnic hatred have inspired the killing of millions throughout history, this media bias is shameful — and dangerous.

I read numerous stories about that case when it happened- everywhere from Daily Mail to CNN. It was widely reported, including the fact that they boys father was friendly with the shooter.

Do you just swallow whatever crap you read or hear about in the right wing media universe you inhabit?

Sheesh if you’d only bothered to Google you’d have found the Wiki page that links numerous resources that refute your assertions fully.
There were claims circulated by politically conservative social media users and by conservative news outlets that mainstream news outlets other than Fox News were not reporting about the story because they did not want to report about a black man killing a white child. However, according to Snopes, the incident had been covered by local and national media, and there was no evidence of a cover-up.[1][13]

Conservative social media users also appropriated phrases from the anti-racist policing movement in support of Hinnant.[1] Hinnant's mother posted to Facebook stating that Hinnant's death had nothing to do with race. She also specifically requested that people stop comparing her son's death to the murder of George Floyd.[2]

Here’s a major news source article from within days of the killing. Sounds like the shooter might have been suffering mental health issues. He shared dinner and beers with the kid’s father the night before. It’s not a racist killing.
Police Have Not Released A Motive For The Killing Of A 5-Year-Old Who Was Shot While Riding A Bike

Right-wing media seized on Cannon Hinnant's death to discredit Black Lives Matter and suggest a double standard among mainstream outlets, but his family has said it has "nothing to do with race."

Five-year-old Cannon Hinnant was shot and killed while riding his bike in front of his home in Wilson, North Carolina, but one week after his death, police have not said what the motive, if any, was for the shooting.

A 25-year-old neighbor has been arrested and charged with murder.

Austin Hinnant, Cannon's father, told ABC News he and his family, including his three children and fiancé, had come home from church on Aug. 9 when the kids said they wanted to play outside. A few minutes later, he heard a gunshot.

"I flew out of my front door and the first thing I see is my son laying on the ground," he told ABC News. "I had to scoop my son up and hold him in my arms as his blood ran down my arm, and all I could do was pray to God."

Cannon, who was just about to start kindergarten, was shot in the head and died on the way to a nearby hospital.

Police identified the shooting suspect as Darius N. Sessoms, a neighbor who Hinnant said had dinner with him the night before. They also shared a beer on the front porch, he said.

"I have no idea why he would kill my son in front of his two sisters and cousins," Hinnant told WRAL. "There was never anything between me and him, any bad blood whatsoever for him to have a reason to do this."

Hinnant said the two were neighbors for about eight years.

The night before the shooting, Hinnant said he had been grilling chicken and invited Sessoms when he noticed he "looked like he had a lot on his mind."

"He seemed paranoid that he thought a lot of people were trying to set him up," he said. "I don't know what it was about but it looked like he was paranoid."

The Raleigh News & Observer reported Sessoms had a criminal record that included time in prison for felony drug possession and felony firearm and drug charges.

Sessoms was charged with first-degree murder. Wilson police did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

The incident has caught national attention, with people on social media sharing the hashtags #justiceforcannon and #croccinforcannon.

A GoFundMe page that was hoping to raise $5,000 for Cannon's services has raised more than $611,000 as of Saturday afternoon.

Conservative and right-wing media sites have seized on Cannon's brutal and unexplained killing, claiming it as an example of media bias because Cannon is white and his suspected killer is Black. The hashtag #sayhisname, which grew out of the movement to draw attention to police killings of Black people, was also used with Cannon's name.

Although the shooting was covered widely in local and state media, outlets like Breitbart called out national outlets Thursday for not covering the shooting, including ABC, CNN, CBS, and NBC. The online publication had published a story about the killing just the day before.

On Fox News, Raymond Arroyo, who was stepping in for Laura Ingraham on The Ingraham Angle Friday, falsely suggested there was no outrage over Cannon's death.

"Cannon, a white child, was allegedly executed in front of his siblings by a 25-year-old Black man and convicted felon," Arroyo said with a chyron that read, "Where is outrage over slaying of Cannon Hinnant?"

A guest on the show, Pastor Darrell Scott, told Arroyo that Cannon's death "is a result of this atmosphere of racial hatred and hostility towards white people that is being promoted by the ultra radical left, by the Black Lives Matter organization and also by extension the Democratic Party."

However, police have given no indication about what the motive of the shooting was or suggested it was racially motivated. Cannon's parents and grandmother did not respond to requests for comment, but had told multiple news outlets that although they don't know why the 5-year-old was shot, they don't believe it was racially motivated.

"This is no racial issue," Hinnant told the Wilson Times.

His grandmother, Gwen Hinnant, told the Washington Post that although she felt her grandson's death merited more attention, the killing was not racially motivated.

Cannon's mother, Bonny Waddell, also wrote in a Facebook post referring to George Floyd, a Black man who was killed after a Minneapolis police officer knelt on his neck, "THIS HAS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO WITH RACE AND DO NOT COMPARE THIS TO FLOYD!"

Cannon's funeral was held Thursday. Waddell told WRAL she was hoping to set build a children's park with bike paths for her son, who loved to ride his bike and wear Crocs.
Shame on you liberty, for being so lazy and/or such a liar.

He is precisely the sort of moronic dupe that the reich wing counts on. Probably so clueless that he isn't even aware that his idiocy is being used to their purposes.

So the village idiot has nothing more to say, now that it has had its ass handed to it after throwing its attempted race-baiting bomb.
