I don't think anyone's agenda, beyond a psycho/sociopath,  includes executing children in the streets.

i want to correct the point of this thread... i want to say there are just as many outraged black people as there are white (relative to number) and both 'communities' are incredibly saddened. 

i sure am.

the point i'm suggesting is the media is quiet... crickets.. news spread on social media.. it was known because of social media.. the local news picked it up later- and the national news, though an account did appear in the NYT, is mum... the NYT printed 'alleged' shooter... there was no 'alleged'.. he was identified by many bystanders.. he hasn't opposed the accusation... a matter of fact, he seems to be proud of what he's done... and that, folks, is evil incarnate.

if what is being suggested is true- guess what? the media is culpable in this matter... along with BLM... along with every celebrity suggesting white people must 'pay'.  because they're white? 

i'm at a loss, here.  this is where we're at.  this isn't where we're going to be- that's a place much worse... if we don't get a grip on it now.

I am not sure I get what your point is.   Do you think that every shooting of a child should be national news?   According to this site, there were 26 separate incidents nationally in the past week involving children and gun violence, with 8 deaths and 26 injuries.  This case is included in that list.

The sad reality is that this is such a common occurrence that many times these cases don't even get extensive local coverage, much less national coverage. 

Are you saying that you think it wasn't covered because the victim was white and the murderer was black?  Is there anything in the story that indicates this was racially motivated?  It may be, but those facts aren't established.   What is being suggested?   What would you like to be different, and what difference do you think it would actually make?  

Most of the incidents you referenced were injuries. Were the other 8 cases also first-degree murder? Did any of those 8 involve a neighbor who shot a child in the head for riding his bike on the lawn? Not newsworthy?

Roles are reversed.
Headlines: Darin Sessoms, who is white, walked up to his African-American neighbor's kids who were innocently riding bikes outside their home, placed a gun to this 5-year old boy’s head & executed him in front of his two sisters for accidentally riding his bike on his lawn. Police are investigating as a possible hate crime.
Do you believe otherwise? Still having a problem understanding the lack of national news coverage?

I have no idea about the details on any of those shootings, and that is my point.  As far as I know, none of them have made national news.  I agree it is a horrendous crime.   Do you think it is nationally newsworthy only because the victim is white, and the perpetrator is black? Would it be less newsworthy if both were black or both white?   If that is the case, it sounds like you have an agenda with this story.  

Do you think it is nationally newsworthy only because the victim is white, and the perpetrator is black?

No, the clear point here was that it wasn't covered nationally because of the race of victim and perp. Reverse the races and it's covered nationally- CNN, MSNBC, CBS, etc.

Maybe you shouldn't drink and post?

You THINK it wasn't covered nationally because of the race of the victim.  There isn't any initial indication that race was any factor in the crime, and there certainly isn't any proof that race is the reason it wasn't covered.  Do you really believe that race is the primary determinant factor in which cases make the news, and that it is less newsworthy if they are white victims?  That's wrong on both counts.  

The mental gymnastics involved in that post @katmai is............ totally expected from the left.  This is the first time you've fully demonstrated, in stride with the media amd left, your agenda is more important that the sanctity of life.

The reporting is void.  Someone suggested the kid rode his bike on the animals lawn.  That may have happened.  The police have officially said "there was a known threat"... and when pressed the police said it had nothing to do with that threat being adjoined with kids riding bikes on lawns.

Your sentiment @katmai , reads "so what, it was a white kid"... maybe you perceive others saying 'so what it was a black kid"... both are wrong...  a child is dead and there are other children who are dead... this child is dead specifically because he was white and leveraged his privilege over this animals domain?  Is that your position?  I dont know the circumstances of the other dead children you presented, and because I didn't go digging through statistics in effort to mitigate the significance of this one or its basis, like you did.

I don't really understand the point you are trying to make.  This child's death is tragic, and I doubt you would find any sane person that would say otherwise.  My sympathies are with the victim's family.    Your complaint seems to be with the lack of media coverage, so I ask, in your opinion, what about this particular case makes it more newsworthy than the countless other murders of children that happen every day in this country.  If your point is that all of these should be reported, then fine.  It is sad that there is so much violence that we become numb to it all.  If that wasn't your point, I was just wanting clarification to understand what your your point actually was.  In your heading, you mentioned an agenda.  What do you think that agenda is, and do you really think that really contributed to this person callously murdering a child?  In what way?  What could the media have done to prevent this?  

my point is a stranger walked right up to a child and ended him.  dropped him.  callously pulled a handgun and sent a bullet through the head of a child who's siblings were mere feet away and adults were observing... and BECAUSE the child was white.  not because 'the kid was riding his bike in his lawn', not because he was caught in the crossfire, not because of an accidental discharge, and not because of local gang activity or drug trade (not directly, anyway)... it was because this animal had an axe to grind against white people- against white children in particular- and was emboldened by media and groups of BLM... by celebrities calling for violence against WHITE people and specifically children... 

and this is the results of those comments made by BLM, by MSM, and by celebrities that they nor you apparently will ever accept.  

THAT is the story here.  

now, there is also something else happening- and i get it... the police (the US Marshall's were involved- ask yourself why?) have sealed this circumstance, and the notion behind that is they are afraid this will incite dramatic response- which is what your left, your BLM, your ANTIFA, your MSM and your 'side' wants- to incite war... that is what these shit birds have been and are actively pursuing... 

anyone with any sense whatsoever sees plainly the threat- the threat is "if you don't stand down and give us our way and the leadership we want, we will riot- we will destroy- we will target you (supporters of opposition) and we will target your children"... that threat has played out right in front of us several times... 

in Minneapolis rioters destroyed fire apparatus's (trucks, if you would) enroute to a fire they started.  they would not allow them to move.  as a result children died in a blaze....... it was but briefly discussed by the media and only because the fire chief broke down in tears in a press conference discussing the riots and the FD's activities during... BLM has outright said to target white people- to target the children of white people... because they believe the answer to racism is more racism? does that make any sense? to even an indoctrinated leftist such as yourself? if so, please explain. 

this child was targeted because of the color of his skin and 'punished' for the perceived (imagined) acts of his 'people', and executed.  

you want to defend that?  is that what you're doing here? or, are you trying to align it as more systemic racism that outrage over this child exists when it doesn't when it's a child of color? is that your 'game'?  people who play stupid games win stupid prizes- and when those people involve their children in their games their children often win those prizes... this child was riding a bike in front of his home.  he wasn't caught in cross fire.  he wasn't impacted due to being adjacent a targeted person.. he was executed because of the color of his skin.  period.  

Now if it is the 'game' of media and police to keep this quiet for fear of response? that's one thing... if it's being ignored because it could undermine the narrative? that's another... you seem to favor the use of Occam's Razor- in some high and mighty display/demonstration of reasoning skills and intent to display intellect that is so frickin important for your types, and as if others aren't familiar with that principle.... use it now... which of those two options are more likely?  is it being suppressed because of possible reaction? or, is it being suppressed because it is acid to their narrative?
