If some white piece of crap decided to arbitrarily execute a black kid... you think it wouldn't be national news and have 18 pages on this forum right now? Sad. I did a search... I can't find one white supremacist piece of [BLEEP] that decided to execute a black kid for having a ball on his yard... and I looked up piece of [BLEEP] skinheads.... and i'll go ahead and repeat this ACTUAL, TRUE statement.... which you cowards would never experience... so I'm enlightening you. You morons just don't get it... Me, at 6'2" and 220lbs, against JSO, fighting like he did... He wouldn't have got 5 minutes of "we will roll the windows down" He would have got beat, thrown in, job done, still alive. Just like me. A white guy.

I'm not sure what you're trying to say. You're saying George Floyd would have lived through the ordeal if he was smaller and lighter? I agree, if he lived through it, it never would have become a viral video or national news. But I'm not sure what your point is.

I have been one of the loudest voices on this forum against media bias, so I get what is being said. I am saying that this particular case is a poor hill to die on, specifically because the media hasn't yet tried to exploit a case like this, so your points of reference are off. I understand what is being said, but there will be better examples moving forward. It is really unfortunate what happened to this boy, and the man that did it was a monster. However, the dude was arrested almost immediately, without bail. He will get justice. Telling me to shut up because I'm saying this is a bad case to prove what is easily provable is odd to me.

So explain to me in detail why George Floyd's justifiable homicide is even in the same "sport" (usually it's league, but that's not right in this scenario) as this disgusting monstrous execution? and then explain why the media is 100% silent compared to George Floyd who basically begged to be killed? And yes, that moron BEGGED cops to kill him
It's terrible that this happed, and yes, if the races were reversed it would be every 3 minutes on the 24 hour news cycle. SInce the kid was white there is no need for it to be in the news headlines because White Lives Don't Matter.

SInce the kid was white there is no need for it to be in the news headlines because White Lives Don't Matter. I saw this article earlier today while at work and it ruined my whole day. I’m a father of a 5 year old son myself, and my son looks very similar in appearance to Cannon. I have no idea how a parent or sibling is expected to get through something like this, and I hope I never have to find out. What sickens me is how some people want to take this terrible tragedy and use it in some perverted race-baiting narrative in an attempt to drive home a warped viewpoint. This isn’t about race any more than it is about 2nd amendment rights. This was an innocent child that was murdered in cold blood...a child. The skin tones don’t matter in this story to me, and they shouldn’t to anyone else, either. This was an inexcusable crime. I’m sure that mental illness will be entertained as a defense during the trial, based on the presumption that no sane person could commit such an act. Personally, I wish we could just take people guilty of crimes like this and throw them into a vat of boiling oil, mental illness or not. I’m an atheist, but if there does indeed exist a special place in the afterlife for innocents like Cannon I hope that he was welcomed there with love and affection.

What little coverage there has been and how it is narrated angers me. The headlines read: “5 year old child shot by neighbor”. That is how the headline should read honestly, but anyone with an IQ above plant life knows that if the races were reversed how this tragedy would be displayed and that pisses me off.

At some point you just have to let go of what you thought should happen and live in what is happening.

The apprehension orders should have been to kill him on first sight. Just as one would do with any diseased crazy rabid animal. Do not give two rats [BLEEP] about his mental condition/competency. You may be crazy. If that's the case you are to damn crazy to be allowed to remain alive.
My heart hurts for the family of this child. Prepare yourself folks. The police cannot protect innocents from animals like this and their hands are pretty much tied to issue the proper punishment he deserves.

That's why I'm done viewing anything in the future from this thread. Thankfully, I believe that the majority of people do not believe like these pathetic individuals. Many of them are losers who must find someone to blame for their failures in life. Good luck to those of you who continue to respond critically to their posts.

Racist because we want 1/100th media attention for a 5 year old being executed as George Floyd got? You have diluted the word, which is a big part of the problem, but you already knew that.

So now it's racist to point out racist behavior on the part of racists. Got it. Just so we all understand what they really mean when they get angry about people saying "All lives matter", they get angry because they know it defies their bull [BLEEP] narrative. “An empty vessel makes the loudest sound, so they that have the least wit are the greatest babblers.”. - Plato
Okay, let me explain to all you Trumpistas why this murder is not getting the same treatment as the George Floyd killing.
The reason is, black guys executing young white kids is not a "thing." There's no pattern there. It's not something that people have been talking about for years- black guys executing young white kids by shooting them in the head. It's just one crazy guy doing one crazy thing. And there's no known racial motive there. Just a crazy guy shooting a kid. Contrast that with the George Floyd killing, which, in the eyes of a very large number of people in the country, is part of a longstanding pattern of police brutality, particularly toward young black men. That's why people are inflamed by the George Floyd killing, but when they hear about the kid being shot in the head, they say, "whoa. That's crazy." Because that's what the guy was- crazy. He was also black, which inflames some you Trump supporters, who want to draw some analogy there with the Floyd killing, and make some racial (racist?) point about it. It's just like if someone got stabbed on the street in some big city. That's just a local story. But if the guy doing the stabbing was shouting "Death to America! Allah Akhbar!" Then it's a national story. See the difference? Same stabbing. Different context. Different treatment in the media. The guy killing the kid by shooting him in the head is a national story, but it has no significance beyond the fact that a guy killed a kid. The George Floyd killing had some significance- it was part of what a lot of people see as a pattern of conduct by the police that they have been complaining about for decades. That's why it's treated differently. It's part of a bigger story.

And again, had the skin colors been reversed it would be constantly in the news. It would not be "just some local story" if a white guy had executed a black kid, it would be part and parcel of the America is a Horrible Racist Nation narrative, another example of how awful "Whiteness" is and why it must be eradicated. There would be more riots, more Burning Looting and Murdering, more calls for reparations, more grandstanding on the field and on the screen, more horse drawn carriage funerals. But since is was just another case of a black murdering a white, as they've done for decades, it's "just a local story" of no real significance. “An empty vessel makes the loudest sound, so they that have the least wit are the greatest babblers.”. - Plato
