#SayHisName Trends After Media Refuse To Report On Alleged Murder Of 5-Year-Old Cannon Hinnant

[lukeneyland]

No, no. I'm saying that in my view the most nationally newsworthy aspect of the Martin story was how the media attempted to manipulate people by intentionally showing photos of Martin that were designed to make him appear non-threatening.

I was really put off by that.



In fairness, our opinions on this are offered in retrospect. Zimmerman was not a cop. He gave a justification for his actions which a jury ultimately accepted, or at least thought was reasonable enough to acquit him. I just think all in all, looking back on it, it was not particularly societally important relative to other murders.

Floyd was.

Martin really was not.

This shooting of the child, while horrible and a crime and certainly of note locally, just in my view is not much different from any other senseless murder that happens literally dozens of times a day in this country. I preceive the claim that this deserves as much attention as the Floyd incident as subterfuge for a darker agenda by those who want to talk about it so much.

I see. My problem with the Floyd incident is that it's been used as a justification for numerous things that I strongly oppose. While I think Floyd was a bad man, I think the cop should be prosecuted. I don't want our government being able to do that to people. It's the whirlwind of things that have come along in the aftermath that's been partially fueled by the media is what bothers me about it. I'm probably less than coherent here, work has unfortunately gotten busy

I’ve been saying we have a racially motivated hate crime epidemic in America since the Christian/Newsom murders in 2007.

Those still give me chills. Again if the roles were reversed it'd be burned into our national memory

As explained by others here -- and is truly freakin' obvious -- a murder by one civilian of another is not the same as police killing of a suspect. Just not even remotely invoking the same societal issues.

By your standard, the media should not report the death of George Floyd unless they also give equal coverage to every one of the 50 other murders in the country each day. Its just such a ridiculous standard and comparison that it is painful to have to explain this to anyone.

Two words: Trayvon Martin.

And yes, I realize that it’s been brought up in this thread.

 

[ajvol01]

They don't. They see white and black and they immediately think this is political and also that an insane individual needs to get as much political attention as the police.

Or just more than zero MSM coverage.

What’s the distinction between this story and the one below?

Funny how the race of the victim and suspect are left out of this "main stream media" report. Not to mention a lot of other pertinent details.

At first, the complaint was that this young boy's murder wasn't being reported, then when presented with evidence that it has been reported, the narrative shifts to not enough detail... one thing is for sure, the right will never run out of things to whine about. Trump has fostered an embrace of victim-hood and self-pity and his legion of minions are eager to follow along.

Come on, man. A small, no detail, six sentences in US News and World Report, filed under "North Carolina News" and reported by the AP, stands as your bastion of MSM reporting?

That "evidence" of "reporting" is pathetic, even for you.

You’re right, the two killings are totally different. If you can’t see that a grown man walks into the street, sticks a gun to the head of an innocent 5 year old boy and execution style kills him is by far worst. Then your truly a worthless POS human being

We've already determined that my avi is not me.

Airrrrrrbaaalllll

We have?

Here is a question for you, What makes this story "political"? What the F do you want to do about it besides screech? Maybe you have some sort of solution to senseless violence. Doubt it but please continue screeching.

LOL...like free reign to riot, loot, vandalize, destroy, etc. ....all in the name of a POS like George Kirby...er Floyd. f*** OFF!

 

[joevol33]

Your BS meter should be going off when you see how blurry and weird that screenshot is. Go ahead and take a screenshot with your phone. Does it look ****ed up like that ^?

I'll give you that. What's really weird, you have nothing to say in this thread about this, then show up to defend this fake shot so the bad guy doesn't look bad. Okay

Did I hurt your feelings or was it the BLM movement? Maybe ANTIFA got your goat?

Pathetic

If that don't make it a hate crime what are the requirements? Honest question.

I don't GAF about you. I hate that you and people like you are OK with thugs destroying our country under the guise of "systemic racism". ....where looting and destroying businesses are accepted because the owners have insurance. And any crime against a white person by a black person doesn't require an explanation because,,,,you know. There is a solution to senseless violence and it's not something the libtard Dems want to address.

What are you talking about? You realize the killer's name is different from the name of the FB commenter, and he doesn't look like him. That should have been your other clue about the validity of the image you shared.

What do you need me to say about this story?

The difference to me is I heard of the white 5 yo but not this 8 yo.

 

[DinkinFlicka]

Well, the alternative is that I'm a successful musician, so take your pick.

 

[C-south]

I guess all black on black crime looks the same to you.

Trump has fostered an embrace of victim-hood and self-pity and his legion of minions are eager to follow along.

Being reported on a local level and then picked up by a single national source with one paragraph is not even remotely the same. In Minneapolis, a multiple time convicted felon dies, that the public was told he was an angel, a gentle giant and now, their martyr...because he was innocent and murdered.

Let's not forget the past 70 days of endless manipulation by the MSM twisting this into some systemic racism BS and that the white race is responsible for all your poor decisions. Finally, they owe you hundreds of thousands of dollars in reparations for things you or anyone even alive in your family never experienced.

Then let's blame Trump.

If anyone is being manipulated here, it's those such as yourself on the left side of the aisle.

If wanting equal coverage from the media for the murder of a 5 yo little boy is whining, you have some seriously messed up view of how a civilized society functions.

 

[ETV]

We all have that tendency from time to time. It's a VNPF tradition.

Sometimes one has to drink just to begin posting daily within the forum. As we all know, mistakes are made when alcohol is involved.

Idk what you mean by this, but I'm sure it's something steeped in stupidity

 

[RavinDave]

I'm done with this current iteration of the United States. We don't stand for anything anymore. Every country has it's warts depending on the era but we have completely lost our way. Most of our government is more interested in pandering to thugs on the streets than defending the lives of the innocent. Our current country isn't worth the blood that was spent on it by previous generations

Sad

 

[RavinDave]

Do you see a difference in George Floyd’s wrongful death getting weeks of coverage to a 5 year old boy’s cold blooded murder getting zero coverage?

One was the trigger the radical masterminds were waiting for, to justify releasing the horde.

Only our very own Mick could argue semantics when a 5 yr old is executed. I mean really, does anyone need to know anymore about his character than that?

Will this little fella get an all expenses paid funeral with gold casket or will his poor parents have to pay?

We already know that answer!
