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.
It’s pretty much a meme-fest. Anyone taking it seriously is gonna get butt-hurt.
State Senator (VA- demo) Louise Lucas charged with 2 felonies- in the directing, aiding and abetting the destruction of a monument to Civil War (the confederate dead of Portsmouth, VA).
She is on video (courtesy of the BLM- and she removed her “mask” as she lectured the City Police there to protect the monument)- and obnoxious as hell, directing protestors(antifa/BLM) to “tear it down”. Quite clearly directing them. This “action” caused the permanent brain disabling of a foolish protestor who was hit and skull crushed by a small statuary falling from these idiots pulling it down. So Lucas is party to those injuries as a direct result.
2 VA State Felonies.
I miss Flip Wilson sometimes.
Shows just how many basement dwellers Facebook has.
“The problem is that when one looks around, one sees that it is the Whites leading either one.”
That is the big conundrum here, isn’t it? Why would white people support their own extermination? The only thing I can think of is that they see themselves to be like Kevin Costner - the only cool white person in the story. One wonders if their cohorts see them that way.
“this scumbag should be broken on the wheel...”
I think we are missing an important point. This guy was criminally insane and needs to be locked up, but it was the constant drumbeat of leftist demonization and dehumanization of white people that drove him to act. Personally, I do not blame the perp as much as I do the academics and race hustlers who pushed him over the edge. Some years ago there was a case in California where someone was murdered and they linked it to the rhetoric of some KKK guy who was a TV repairman. They sued him into oblivion. The same needs to happen here.
So this is ok but they censor Trump??? I’ll just wait for big media to talk about this. Any second now they’ll be all over it. Any second.
