This past week a 5-year-old North Carolina  boy named  Cannon Hinnant was shot in the head in front of his 7- and 8-year-old sisters by 25-year-old Darius Sessoms.   The victim was white and the shooter was black,  sparking the above hashtag to trend on social media Thursday morning,  since national media  has ignored it  because it doesn’t fit the narrative that they have chosen.   FOX News was the exception,  as it often is.   The shooter lived next door to the victim’s father,  and  had dinner  with him the night before the murder.  Just imagine how much you’d know about this incident if the races were reversed…

On what might be considered a plus side,  if there is any to be found in this senseless murder,  Cannon’s grandmother started a GoFundMe account to help cover the cost of his funeral and burial.  That fund  now has  over $700,000.   I believe this means his two sisters will go to college and the entire family will rise above this tragedy.
