#SayHisName Goes Viral as Corporate Media Faces Backlash for Ignoring Cannon Hinnant Story

National File: Despite the best efforts of the oligarchical corporate media to sweep the story of 5-year-old Cannon Hinnant’s murder under the rug, a hashtag created to raise awareness about the crime has gone mega-viral on social media.

The hashtag #SayHisName caught fire after citizens realized the stark contrast in coverage between the stories of George Floyd, a black man with a lengthy criminal record who died in police custody; and Cannon Hinnant, a white boy who was executed via gunshot to the head by a black man while riding a bike in his backyard.

The Floyd case was covered from wire to wire in the most grave and somber tone possible, and resulted in nationwide riots, looting, and violence. The site of Floyd’s death was turned into a religious shrine of concerts and baptism, and he was memorialized with a massive, garish, yellow rotating hologram that is slated to tour the country.

Meanwhile, the reaction to Hinnant’s death has split along political lines. The family of Hinnant’s alleged murderer Darius Sessions has received an outpouring of love, “support,” and prayers on social media, while others praised the boy’s murder as a courageous act of “revenge” against “white privilege.” MORE

  1. That rabid fiend should have been shot as he stood over the body of Cannon. Right in front of the sisters.

    Much kinder to the girls and family who will now have to endure the torture of the court system.

  2. This is perfect. From Irish’s place.

    Hypocrickets –

    That silence that ensues when the media hypocritically won’t cover something that doesn’t fit the The Narrative™.

  3. @Heretic @Geoff And it will start on 11/4. They have effectively eliminated the sale of ammo with the shortages, so hopefully enough people that should have it are the people that have it.

    It is going to be very ugly, I don’t see any other way at this point. Sometimes bullies need to have their noses bloodied, this time, they need to have a full on ass kicking.
