BLACK man murders 5 y/o child for no reason!!! Can you imagine the outrage if a white man walked up and blew the brains out of a 5 y/o black child It would be all over the msm and sadly this is barely a blip.

All you media outlets waited a week to report this tragic story! Y’all should be ashamed. SayHisName Darius Sessoms has a special place picked out in Hell!

I owe you an apology LisaDon23257615 for doubting your sincerity and professionalism right from the beginning i was only scared due to my past experience from imposters. Thanks LisaDon23257615

You mean “executed” by a black man...?

Where is all the major news coverage. No one rioting and looting . This was a child with great potential . Now that is all gone for home and his family

This is disgusting. What is this world coming to. SMH , RIP buddy

It is a Hate crime !

Rest in peace little Angel.

You’re still not getting it right.

Where are the protests?

It seems pretty obvious what the man’s motivation was in this case. Very very sad. Such a sweet young kid! 😕

Imagine the outrage from certain 'activist' groups, sports players, politicians, MSM, etc if the race of these two people were reversed

😢🙏

Heartbreaking. And one contributing reason why: the easy availability of guns.

“The world knows” Nice try USA Today. Until now only people on social media knew because us caring citizens had been spreading this story

So sad. May he RIP and memory live on. My heart is with this family.

So ironic to see many 🤡 in this post blaming media, politicizing the kid's death while showing absolutely zero sympathy. One really can't have a soul to support the racist-in-chief, who made it possible for people with mental illness to have a gun.

Very sad for the loss of this young soul and my condolence to his family. This reminds me what happened in Sandy Hook, crazy people got gun and innocent kids got killed.

If races were reversed, the headline would be black child shot by white man. Why the inconsistency when it's the other way around?

This was a child. And as far as I’m concerned to harm a child is the ultimate evil. He has to pay for it. And it should have been covered on the networks.

Hideous most infernal lowest than lowest of worms. Despicable being. Thousands of reincarnations will cost him this sacrilege towards life he committed. Not only because 'his' evil reason of killing the innocent. Precisely,because his victim was innocent, defenseless, voiceless!

Executed for riding his bike by this monster

🙏

Racist who shot this little boy if other way around they would demand racial injustice for sure ! Prayers for family

AND liberal media fails to cover his murder!

This was a race crime....You forgot to mention.

Terrible.!!

It is a hate crime. They never make sense.

That poor family will never be the same 🙏😢. I hope that killer gets his in jail🤬

Who shot him ?

so where are the reactions from the fake news media?

The reason those domestic terrorist sponsored by Democrats called black lives matter nonsense must be dealt with.

If I was the father I would take my vengeance by my hand .

Ohh

Kidda wise

This is a 💩 headline and article. If a white guy had shot a black kid, their races would be specified. A BLACK guy murdered an innocent WHITE child in cold blood. TELL THE TRUTH and SayHisName JusticeForCannon

Unfortunately, we are living in difficult days, love has been excluded from the planet. Living is uncertain for many .... Heartbreaking 💔

This is allowed on YouTube and many other platforms but if color was reversed, would it be allowed?USA CNN FoxNews BreakingNews COVID19 Americans America NewYork 1A 2A POTUS

It was a racist attack by a african American

End gun violence now ! There is an imperfection in twitter I would like to add a broken heart; an entire family brokenhearted of course; certainly not a heart to what happened.

This headline SUCKS! Tell the truth! FakeNews

5. dealers. Not knowing what was going on, two officers lead my boyfriend (Black Male) and myself to safety. I guess that f**** up the narrative of cops killing innocent Black People!

4. fire in my apartment complex (Done by Black and Hispanic People ranging from 15yrs to adults) on an almost nightly basis! Why? DOESN'T FIT THE NARRATIVE! On 1 night as my boyfriend and I were heading out to work, we encountered 18 Police Officers dealing with drug

3. the loss of a child that was innocent and kind hearted. WHY! BECAUSE THIS DOESN'T FIT THE NARRATIVE YOU and OTHERS SHOVE DOWN OUR THROATS DAY IN AND DAY OUT! I have yet to even see my local TV Station report on the TWO car fires (set by Black men) and multiple gun

2. long wait when at any time a cop kills a Black Person u jump on it like moths to a flame? C. You can't wait to get the true facts of a case when a white person does something wrong and write a retraction when the facts do come out but stay silent as a family mourns

Target Practice ? ! ? Welcome to the REAL America ! !

1. Why did it take u so long to write about this? What I did notice is: A. Unlike when a white person &/or conservative, You never mentioned the race and political beliefs of the killer. B. This little life was snuffed out on Sunday and here it is Friday night, why such a

I hate to see a black family suffer

Such a sad sick story.

You left out ' White'and 'by a black male.'

Has anyone asked Mr Sessoms what prompted him to murder this little boy? Go with God, Cannon. 🕊 Too soon.

An 8 month old was shot in Detroit today...an 9 MONTH OLD!

It’s was a week ago and the media would not report it just because the murder is a black youth. They don’t want to offend BLM. To CNN and other mainstreams a small cue little boy life don’t matter. Only black lives matter?

BLM Animals.

A BLM supporter shot him point blank. Say it!

Who shot him?

How many days before your rag reported on his death/murder? If he were black you would have reported it asap on the front page and named the race of his killer. People really have seen how corrupt the left-wing media is because of this beautiful little boy. His life mattered

I just don’t understand this world. Heartbreaking.

He was killed by a black supremacist NoJusticeNoPeace childrenslivesmatter

The media wants to pretend and ignore that it wasn’t about race, it was.

Oh, if the roles were reversed... He was shot by a black man. But, we can't make it look like it was racially motivated, right. Garbage journalism. Where are the riots for this kid huh? Or all of the little kids shot in Chicago, Louisville Nothing on them.

A hell
