Legacy Media SILENT After Black Man’s Execution of White 5-Year-Old
'The deception in selective reporting is their most potent weapon because it drives availability bias which, in turn, distorts reality...'

The left-wing media is maintaining it silence after a 5-year-old, white North Carolina boy was killed in cold blood by a black neighbor.
Conservatives on social media are now responding in full force, demanding that the same standards of outrage apply as did in recent killings where the races were reversed, the Daily Wire reported.
Darius Sessoms, 25, of Wilson has been charged with first-degree murder in the killing, which occurred late Sunday afternoon. He was apprehended on Monday by US Marshals after fleeing the scene.
It has been reported that the boy’s family had dined on Friday with the “alleged” killer, who publicly executed Cannon Hinnant after the boy rode a bike in his yard.
“[You] can’t imagine what it’s like to hold your son in your arms with a gunshot wound to the head, and his blood is running down your arms,” said the boy’s father, Austin Hinnant, on Thursday prior to Cannon’s funeral, WRAL reported.
There is no evidence that the killing was racially motivated, and there is limited indication, thus far, as to what the motives were.
“I just don’t understand why he did it,” one neighbor told ABC11. “How can you walk up to a little boy point-blank and put a gun to his head, and just shoot him? How can anyone do that?”
Some reports suggest that Sessoms already was facing multiple felony charges prior to the killing.
But in the wake of recent race riots to protest social injustice under the banner of the Black Lives Matter movement, the level of rhetoric, paired with the partisan neglect of most media outlets, has turned the tragic case into another hyper-politicized tinder-box.
A tweet from social-media influencer Jason Howerton starkly laid out the media blackout at four of the leading broadcast news outlets.

This SOB deserves the death penalty for this.

Nah! Instead, the publishers of the media that didn't publish it and strongly state that a black man murdered a young child deserve the death penalty.

And I suppose you didn't notice the black guy shot that kid in the head for riding his bicycle across his back yard.
He can't take the bullet back, but you can be sure a jury of his peers will set the record straight. ;)

That depends on what outcome the legal system wants. If they want a conviction, they will preselect the jury pool to exclude such peers. If by chance one or more are on the jury pool, they will be excused and not selected as a member of the jury. Although occasionally they slip up, that and other methods why our courts are Star Chambers that would make Stalin proud.
