In the Floyd case the deceased was a black and a convicted violent felon, an ex-con, possibly dying at the hands of a white cop, or maybe not, but from a self administered drug overdose. In this case the killer is a black convicted felon, an ex-con; the victim is a white child. It is a turnabout situation the MSM wants to ignore.

awful - and when hearing about this terrible event, I thought "what if the Races were switched"? In these times where most Media focus on THEIR bias and agenda - this news DOES NOT help. BUT if it was W on B - they would be ALL OVER IT. sad to say, but these are the times we are living in - ALL for Nov 3rd. period. sad.

So much of what you said and think is painfully correct. I am so sad to hear a little one has been killed. I will say his name. Cannon Hinnant. I will think of him and his family and wonder how anyone can ever survive such pain. His name was Cannon Hinnant and he was a little one of an age I knew well and loved. My fours became fives in my preschool class. They were so dear to me and their parents.

Cannon Hinnant. What a beautiful name. Thank you Velvet for showing us his beautiful face.

you can bet if the cops hurt the perp while arresting him it would be on the media.

Racist much???
 
When the law works and someone is charged for a crime - outrage isn't necessary because that is how it is suppose to work. This is just BS and the color of the criminal and color of the victim is irrelevant but I'm sure I'm in the minority here.

You may be in the minority on this forum, but not in the country..

Color of skin is just another label to make folks feel superior. The law, crime....all are colorblind. Bad people are bad people...good people are good people, and the law is the law everywhere

Of course not. It is the truth. Obviously 98% of the media ignores the truth sad but true.

The law worked or is working in the George Floyd case. So you feel there’s no need for outrage in that case?

Doesn't Cannon's life matter? There's no national outrage over this because the colors do not fit the narrative of the mercenary media.

This act is not the aberration that you want it to be. This pond scum is everywhere and getting louder and more violent. They need to be put down like the mad dogs that they are.

Note: "they" is not a reference to black people

If you don't see the difference then you likely never understood the rationale for the protests. Make no mistake, the murder of this 5 year old is horrific.

Because it was a black man killing someone. It’s only bad if it’s a white person killing a black child.

Coal Miner 08-14-2020 06:09 AM

Curious why you had to mention that he was black. If he was a Baptist would you have pointed it out?

Bay Kid 08-14-2020 06:15 AM

Pure hate crime. Should be no need to waste the courts time, but I'm sure they will find some way to make this killer a hero.

Pamelah 08-14-2020 06:20 AM

Yes pond scum is everywhere and so are GUNS! Interesting no outrage here that guns are a dime a dozen to anyone who wants one. Maybe you’d think differently if your grandchild was needlessly murdered with a gun.

Well said
