As a father this is just truly disturbing and something his family and sisters will NEVER get over. Darius Sessoms did something totally unspeakable, but yet it's barely been covered on the news vs how all the George Floyd stuff blew up the media........

What happened to Cannon would have totally upset me as a parent if the child was African American, White, Hispanic, Asian, or any other race. It is not about race it's about the animal Darius and what he did!!!! Same thing with the George Floyd thing. When I first saw the video of the knee across his neck I immediately said to myself that IS NOT RIGHT. However I knew in the back of my mind there was more to the story, and when the body cam footage was released my suspensions were correct. It was not fair what happened to George, but the USA basically has torn itself apart for months now causing innocent people to loose their jobs, small businesses to shut down, and millions upon millions of $$$$$$$$$$$$$ wasted.

An innocent 5 year old gets shot in the face in his yard, and oh that's nothing... BS ALL LIVES MATTER and Cannon had his entire life ahead of him!!! Darius did something totally unthinkable and I am totally without words on how to describe his actions and the actions of the media by not even mentioning this......

I haven't talked much about the George Floyd stuff, but after the body cam footage was released it was exactly what I thought it was. A grown *** man that DID NOT comply with the Police. You can twist it anyway you want, but the body cam footage shows they did indeed try to get George into the Ford Explorer for further questioning and even said they would roll the windows down no problem. He resisted and passed thru the Ford Explorer and onto the ground on the passenger side. However before all that crap began when they approached him he was sitting completely comfortable parked in his Mercedes SUV with the windows rolled up......... I support the Police and the Law. I understand what they have to deal with on a daily basis (Scum of the earth basically). If you simply respect the Police things will go MUCH better for you. All George had to do was sit in the back of that Ford Explorer while they ran his info and figured out if he was the person of interest or not. Instead he claimed he couldn't breathe right off the bat, and resisted them the entire time.

Cannon was an innocent 5 year old boy who enjoyed riding his bike. How could he have done anything serious enough to Darius which would justify Darius shooting him at point blank in the head????? If say for example the little boy scratched his car or something like that all Darius needed to do was talk to the boys parents vs shooting him at point blank in the face in front of his sisters!

I am just truly sick of the news these days. They don't care about good honest stories, true stories, stories of people coming together to save another person, or stories like Cannon's. They'd rather push an agenda to twist peoples views or perceptions.... Or go by stories that get more hits/viewers..... I mean you can't even rely on the The Weather Channel for true honest Hurricane reporting!!!!!! I saw it first hand with Hurricane Harvey and Imelda!! They showed vehicles up to their roofs, and acted like the flooding was 10ft deep, but then you find out the car was in a 6ft ditch to begin with...... and the water was maybe only 1.5ft deep. When people needed facts about their area where they lived they were once again fed lies.

God Bless Cannon Hinnant & his family

 

There is something totally and disgustingly wrong with the media these days.

 

what is there to be overly dramatic about? Yes, it was horrific what happened to Cannon. Nobody should have to suffer what the kid did or how his parents will continue to for the rest of their lives. This does not compare to George Floyd though. In Cannon's case the killer was quickly caught, charged, and is being held without bail awaiting a trial that will have him seeing the rest or most of the rest of his life behind bars. The system worked as planned.

George Floyd was killed by a cop (several actually) and the system did nothing until the riots started.

There is no comparison between the two save that in each case somebody died who didn't need to. The former shows how the system should work, the latter shows that it doesn't always.

 

 

My issue with the situation is...one incident was considered racial motivated by the media, immediately after it happened...while the other was determined to be not racially motivated, immediately afterwards. When in fact...CNN, MSNBC have no idea if it was or wasn't...in both cases...but they sure throw it out there as soon as possble. Seems like...black kills white...no racism involved...but white kills black...racism. Look, cops kill folks, white and black...but whenever it seems to be a black...national attention/protest/roits/burning/looting is warrented. But, white person...nothing to see here, move along folks. We had a black officer shoot and kill a white man here a few months ago...absolutely nothing on the national news...nothing...barely made the local news...over a two day period.

Listen, both incidents were terrible, we all agree...but racism as an automatic story line...is not a concrete conclusion unless verified.

Racism goes both ways, but it only gets mentioned by one side. Watching television yesterday...and "Black Journal" comes on PBS. Asked my wife...what time does "White Journal" come on? And, how does a person join the White Panthers or the NAAWP or White Lives Matter?
