An actual senseless killing of a child with a racial component. Shame I don't see this being reported nationally by the MSM.
WILSON, N.C. — A Wilson man was in custody Monday night, about 24 hours after police said he shot and killed a 5-year-old boy.

What is our country becoming?
We can't even let our children outside to play anymore the way it's looking.
Where are the protests and riots for the most innocent among us, who are murdered in cold blood?
I don't disagree in the least, but as little as 20-something years ago, we did not have instant reporting of everything that happened everywhere, so I would submit that the average person had no idea what was going on across the country unless it dealt with politics or celebrities. These were, largely, local stories.

No. It just lets you learn about things you never heard about in the past.So reading and watching the boob tube brings out the crazies in todays rapid social media society?
I'm not so sure about that, so many were locked away with the State or private hospitals long before they were adults.
This is exactly the point. If it can be sensationalized and fits a narrative, it will make the news 24x7.I seem to remember a FBI stat that said the number of child murders/kidnappings were WAY down compared to the 1960 through the early 80's. (It might have been actual numbers, not a percentage)
We hardly ever heard of them back then but now each and every one is plastered on the news minutes after it's discovered.

Take Floyd out of the equation. Now flip the races of the murderer and victim. Do you think the media would have the same lack of interest in the story?Let's face facts. The George Floyd thing is about him being a symbol for a perceived injustice visited upon an entire class of people. It is not really about the one man. Causes about groups go wide quickly and that makes sense, even if an analysis of the killing itself does not provide any real evidence of racial motivation.
Speaking of no evidence of racial motivation, as to the child, Cannon, it's a one-off murder with not even an arguable connection to some greater cause or pattern. These stories always get less coverage...which, again, makes sense.
These two killings are completely unrelated.
...but the non-sequitur nature of how the child's killing has gone viral as some sort of weird counterpoint to George Floyd while several black kids are tragically gunned down with almost no coverage (and media coverage is the ..."point"?), in my opinion, makes those sharing and sharing an sharing posts about Cannon look like, well....come to you own conclusions.
