A Facebook group with 20,000 members who support the alleged killer of 5-year-old Cannon Hinnant is going viral both due to its size and the controversial opinions held by group members.
Darius Sessoms, 25, is alleged to have murdered Cannon Hinnant, 5, after shooting him in the head at point blank range when Hinnant rode his bike on Sessoms’ front yard. The incident became an international story as alternative media led the charge, while some mainstream media outlets completely sidestepped a brutal alleged murder that fails to fit their narrative.
The “Justice for Darius Sessoms” Facebook Group still prevails after accumulating a quick five-figure membership number.
The group’s opening statement read: “Darius Sessoms has been accused of a heinous act that he didn’t commit. This is all propaganda from the far-right Trump propaganda machine to make black people look bad.
“We cannot sit idly by while our president plays fast and loose with the laws. That’s why we need to back Darius against these outrageous allegations.”
One internet sleuth managed to infiltrate the group–that was reportedly started as a troll, but attracted various Black Lives Matter supporters–and nab screenshots of member’s posts.
“Has a Go Fund Me been set up for Darius? He’s a political prisoner and I would like to donate. We can’t sit idly by and let the system persecute him unjustly,” one person remarked.
“I just sent 300 dollars to Darius’ commissary. Stay strong brother,” wrote another.
Another person commented on the crowdfunding total the Hinnant family was set to receive. They wrote: “Not surprised the parents are cashing in… we’re going to find out later that he was provoked or somehow set up. Good luck getting that refund.”
Others commented on how Hinnant’s murderer was arrested and justice would be obtained. Meanwhile, George Floyd’s death was not believed to receive the same level of justice–bringing the conversation back to the topic of systemic racism.
“I’d feel worse about his death if he didn’t have such a stupid name. A “cannon” that gets shot? Seems like his dad was asking for it since day one,” responded one Facebook user.
In addition to the “Justice for Darius Sessoms” group, a fake Wilson Police Department press release circulated social media to spread disinformation and to steer the narrative away from Hinnant’s murder.
The falsified Wilson PD Facebook post was fraught with typos, spelling mistakes, and grammatical errors leading many to immediately question its authenticity.
However, the fake release managed to convince dozens of a change in narrative surrounding the horrific crime.
See my tag line.

Ping....and this one might make you upchuck.
Evidently, that does NOT violate “Facebook’s Community Standards”.
It was taken down AFTER complaints................
I'd been wondering when they would accuse Cannon Hinnant of using the N-word.
Let me guess, FB is allowing the page to remain up and running? Wow.
Or accuse the 5 yr old of being racist.
If you don’t begin exterminating termites as soon as they become known, the infestation will only spread and get much much worse, and they will destroy your entire house.
See post 5.
No, it was taken down AFTER complaints.....................
If you tolerate this, your children will be next.
I’m sure Facebook is looking into it. Lol
20,000 members??
Are they bot accounts?
Who are these 20k wicked beings?
Let the culling commence. They are literally begging for it.
Discrimination is a learned behavior. Blacks need to ask why they are discriminated against more than other minorities in the US. This is a black problem that needs to be solved from within the black community. The crime statistics suggest blacks don't need help from outside agents to look bad. What they do need is help from inside to fix that perception.
One of the BLM chants is, “Who do we support?”
Respones: “Black Criminals”
Nuff said
Democrats, one and all.......................
I believe it was taken down because the creator of the page was trolling black lives matter to expose them for what they are. If it was authentic, schmuckerboyg would let it stay up.
Every day we think we have reached the limits of absurd rantings. This is way beyond anything to date. This is one sick country that these kind of creatures are allowed to draw a breath. Thanks a lot dems - you worked hard to get to this point.
