20,000 Member Strong FaceBook Group Supports Cannon Hinnant's Alleged Killer
National Sentinel ^ | 08/18/2020 | Lionel Du Cane

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.

One of the questions they want answered before they let you join is if you’re just there to harass them for supporting an innocent man. I don’t know how many they might have booted out for just that, or if they subtract them from their membership when they do. Might be fun to give them 1,000 requests to sort through.

Yes.. a 5 year old provoked him and that would make it OK to shoot him in the head.

OR he didn’t do it.

Or something...

These people are evil.

Doesn’t mean that people on our side wont try, Friend. If one looks, that can be seen trending today. It is a fact of nature that good and evil cannot exist as equals. One moves out. The other moves in. Huge stacks of dead bodies through the years attests to this.

Thanks for the tip. I haven’t heard of that book but I will order it. Have digested Ayn Rand’s “Atlas Shrugged” and “The Fountainhead” multiple times since I got them in the sixties.

Along with Gary Allen’s “None Dare Call It Conspiracy”. I got that when John Schmitz was our congressman in CA.. Ordered several copies to distribute...

Face Book's Community Standards are decided on a case by case basis:If it serves evil , It is allowable.

If it serves good it violates the standards and is removed.

Has anyone looked at the image of the Facebook page at post #34? Look closely at the admins and the creation date/original name.

That , right there illustrates perfectly the i.q. of the average Face Book user.

That is why I am against censorship and for free speech. We need to have a clear understanding of the number of depraved people out there, as well as an understanding of the depth of their depravity. You don’t know that when they are forced underground. I prefer shining a bright light on them for all to see.

Or the extermination of White People. As one prefers. The problem is that when one looks around, one sees that it is the Whites leading either one.

This group is awesome. Why? Because it gives you a list of real life racists that should be culled at the earliest opportunity.

You’re very welcome, Thank You Rush. Got ‘em all. I was just looking at my library of great books this morning. I grabbed “How the Great Religions Began” - Joseph Gaer for a re-peruse. Another GREAT one.

God bless, Rush.

“Justice for Darius Sessoms”? I could get behind that group. We need someone to print the Fry Darius t-shirts.
