Is Cannon Hinnant Less Valuable than George Floyd?

~ Ann Corcoran ~ 14 Comments

Yes, apparently he is.  Unless you are a news junky who goes beyond the legacy media headlines, you likely have no idea who Cannon Hinnant is.

Hinnant was five years old and expected to start kindergarten this year, but that will never be. He won’t play sports, go to the prom, get married or have kids of his own because he is dead—a little innocent white boy killed by his black neighbor for no apparent reason as he rode his bike in the neighborhood.

This is what happened last Sunday…..

From WSET in Wilson, North Carolina:

‘I screamed’: Father of slain 5-year-old says he can’t fathom why his son was killed

WILSON, N.C. (WSET) — The 5-year-old boy who was shot to death outside his father’s home in Wilson, North Carolina has been laid to rest.

Witnesses told police that Cannon Hinnant was riding a bike when his father’s neighbor walked up to him and shot him in the head in front of his two sisters, ages 8 and 7.

Capt. Steve Stroud with the Wilson Police Department said officers and emergency personnel performed first aid before the boy was taken to Wilson Medical Center, where he died.
“They were just playing in the yard like any other day,” Austin Hinnant, Cannon’s father, told WRAL.

A neighbor, who told WRAL she witnessed the shooting from her window, said Sessoms ran up to Cannon and put the gun to his head before running back into his own home. She called 911 after seeing Austin’s reaction.

Police said 25-year-old Darius Nathaniel Sessoms was arrested Monday. He’s charged with first-degree murder and is being held without bond.

Austin told the news station that Sessoms had been over to his home the day before, sat on his porch and drank beer, and they have lived next to each other for eight years.

“The Lord says to love our neighbor. I have plenty of food to go around. I just wanted to be nice,” Hinnant said. “There wasn’t anything between me and him, any bad blood whatsoever, for him to have a reason to do this.”

[….]

Austin said he doesn’t know why Sessoms killed Cannon and police have not released any details as to a possible motive.

During Cannon’s funeral Thursday, his youth pastor and grandfather talked about his big smile and his even bigger heart.

I knew that VDARE would likely have some comment on the dreadful story even as the big media avoided it, and they do in a piece by Paul Kersey:

His Name Is Cannon Hinnant: Five-Year Old White Boy Shot and Murdered Execution-Style by Black Neighbor

(After explaining how it came to be, a suggestion that maybe a sea change is coming.  We can only hope.)

With what happened to Cannon Hinnant, though, we might be seeing the early stages of a profound shift in thinking, where the story of a five-year-old white child murdered execution-style by his black neighbor and the complete silence from the corporate media (that just spent nearly three months canonizing a black man who once put a gun to the belly of a pregnant woman he was robbing in a home invasion and then died of fentanyl overdose while resisting arrest in Minneapolis) provides the much-needed realization to a lot of people that to our elite, white lives don’t matter.

It takes dramatic examples to shake people from their apathy and indifference toward the evil peddled as morality by our elite.

His name is Cannon Hinnant. Right now, tens of millions are learning his name and how he died. They are starting to realize that to our elite, white lives don’t matter. They are asking why this story isn’t all over every media outlet, yet George Floyd — a convicted felon — somehow became a hero worthy of burning down cities, tearing down statues, and momentarily losing all sanity over.

And once they realize why this is, they’ll learn the truth of interracial crime.

What most people implicitly know, stories such as Cannon Hinnant’s execution-style murder by his black neighbor make the explicit possible.

Their Lives Matter Too.

The Blaze has a piece too:

‘#SayHisName’ trends after mainstream media’s silence on the atrocious killing of 5-year-old Cannon Hinnant

By Wednesday night and into Thursday morning, the hashtag #SayHisName trended on Twitter. Many, including Jason Howerton, pointed out that there was zero coverage of Cannon Hinnant’s murder by several mainstream media networks.

And, see also that #JusticeforCannon is trending.

See if you can help get this story out. Let’s shame the media hypocrites into reporting it even if only one one hundredth of what they did for George Floyd!

It is sad, the innocent boy should rest in peace and we should pray for the family, but unfortunately we now must fight like the Left fights. If we don’t, they win.

If you have trouble (if you feel like it is playing dirty), then think about how this story would be playing if a little black boy riding a bike was shot at point blank range by a white man.

Besides spreading the word on social media, one thing you can do is make a poster for any rally you attend that says something like Justice for Cannon, or Say His Name—Cannon Hinnant on it and maybe force reporters to pay attention.

Sandmann’s Crime: Smiling While White

~ Ann Corcoran ~ 4 Comments

This is some news you surely already know—teenager Nicholas Sandmann awarded big bucks from legacy media outlets who defamed and vilified him without the facts in that incident in Washington, DC following a prolife march in January 2019.

To the media losers, Sandmann, with his pleasant smile and Trump hat, represented the perfect punching bag for the release of their hatred toward America firsters.  The last laugh is Sandmann’s (for now)!

(Don’t miss the New York Post op-ed urging more conservatives to follow the young Kentuckians lead.)

I’m posting this story not so much to give you the news of Sandmann’s victory that you likely already knew, but to post the warning writer, John Zmirak, pens at the end of his story on the stunning slapdown of the Washington Post (and others).

From The Stream (hat tip: Meanymom):

Nick Sandmann Wasn’t Supposed to Survive. He Was Meant to End Up Like Mike Adams.

Nick Sandmann just turned 18 years old. And he’s settling a $250 million lawsuit with major media outlets that libeled him. Let’s send him our congratulations and prayers.

I was prepping Robert Oscar Lopez’s powerful piece on Mike Adams for publication when I realized something chilling. Reading how the left hounded that talented writer to suicide (if indeed he wasn’t murdered) I heard in my head the media headline that never ran. Thanks be to God.

“Racist Ringleader, Nicholas Sandmann, Dead at 17.”

That’s what the media mob wanted. They as good as admitted it.

When powerful reporters call a young man’s face “the most punchable in America,” that’s what they mean. When columnists and activists propose “doxing” him, contacting every college he ever applies to, or job he tries to get, that’s what they mean.

When Sandmann’s own Catholic bishop threw him to the wolves, when his school suspended him, when “conservative” columnists at National Review and other venues denounced him as “bigoted,” they were writing him off for life. They were branding him on his face with the most destructive charge available in America. The charge that’s now burning cities and getting Trump supporters murdered.

[….]

They’re Coming for Us

That’s where we stand in 2020, as leftists verbally tap dance on Mike Adams’ coffin. I wish Mr. Sandmann well, and advise him to take his money and move somewhere sane, like Poland. Maybe start a Catholic college there. Because the kind of leftists who dug up Adams’ columns from 20 years ago to goad him to his grave aren’t finished with Nick Sandmann. They can’t forgive his innocence, his victory, or his smile.

They’re coming for him. They’re coming for me. And then they’ll come for you and your kids.

Get yourself to the gun range. Make friends there. Organize local militias, to step in when the police (afraid for their pensions) meekly disband. We don’t need two Americans like the McCloskeys in St. Louis, but two million or ten million. That’s the only way this madness ends.

Read it all.

Fugitive from Justice Charged with Kidnapping Likely in Somalia

~ Ann Corcoran ~ 3 Comments

“I don’t want her remembered as the woman in the suitcase that was just thrown away.”

(Megan Bailey)

 

The other day I said I would post a few stories that have gone “down the memory hole” mostly because they don’t fit the media narrative when it comes to ‘new Americans.’

Do you remember this story from last summer when a former Tyson Foods meat plant worker, a Somali by the name of Mahamud Tooxoow Mahamed, was found to have kidnapped three little girls after their mother went missing?

Mahamud Tooxoow Mahamed, 37, a Somali national most likely skipped the country.

 

I found only one story that was posted after the initial flurry of news about the discovery of Jessica McCormack’s body which had been crammed into a suitcase and flung into a ravine.

Mahamed is still a fugitive from justice.

If you read the whole long sad tale published in local media (it is over 2,400 words long), you will see that Jessica got mixed up with some scum who brought her life to an untimely end.

I’m posting the story, not so you can tsk! tsk! over her mixed up life, but because it goes against the narrative the politically correct want you to believe about refugees and other immigrants as supposedly salt-of-the-earth people just looking for a better life.

It is the kind of story that should be told as a warning to other young naive women, but it won’t be told in any big way because it depicts an African, a Muslim, as, frankly, a vile man that got through our supposed screening process coming in, and then got out of the country apparently just as easily.

From McDonald County Press  (never at NYT, the Washington Post, CNN, MSNBC etc.):

Friends Seek Justice For Jessica

Jessica McCormack’s murder doesn’t make any sense. The 25-year-old’s partially-clothed body was discovered in a suitcase near Noel in late July. She was identified through dental records. Since her murder three months ago, her friends continue to search for answers.

Jessica was 25 years old at the time she was murdered.

McCormack was a beautiful soul who brought people together, friends say. Life wasn’t easy for her, but she showed an unending love for all people, said her best friend, Megan Bailey.

[….]

“I don’t want her remembered as the woman in the suitcase that was just thrown away,” Bailey said, “but how she loved everyone. It didn’t matter what race, what religion, she freakin’ loved you.”

McCormack’s death has spurred her friends to fight for justice. They seek answers. They want to know why their beloved friend was taken, leaving behind three young daughters. Bailey said the pain of losing McCormack is still intense.

[….]

“It’s been three months that she’s been gone,” Bailey said. “It still hurts as much as the first day. I still wake up in the morning and think, ‘Maybe I’ll get a message from Jess today.'”

McCormack Goes Missing

Her best friend knew something was wrong right away. The two, who were soul sisters, had known each other for about three years. The two had no secrets.

[….]

McCormack and her children were over at Bailey’s house on July 14. McCormack played with Bailey’s children. When Bailey didn’t hear from McCormack on July 15, she became worried. “(But) murder wasn’t my first thought. I thought she needed to get away.”

McCormack had left for a few days in June, Bailey said. She was simply tired of all the fighting with Mahamud Tooxoow Mahamed, her husband, whom Bailey refers to as “Tito.”

Bailey said the two were not married by law but through their Muslim culture.

However, Bailey said McCormack and Ibraham Akfeen, who is the father of her youngest child, had planned to make a fresh start in St. Louis.  [Honor killing?—ed]

[….]

Ongoing fighting and domestic disputes with Mahamed, however, colored McCormack’s world.

“She told me, ‘If I end up dead one day, Tito is going to be the reason,'” Bailey said.” She wanted to come visit. She was tired of all the fighting. It was an ongoing, everyday battle. Their relationship was very tumultuous. It was hardly ever good.”

Bailey encouraged her to break it off with Mahamed. The ups and downs of McCormack and Mahamed’s relationship took their toll.

Why didn’t she leave?

“She was scared,” Bailey said. “She wanted some sense of normalcy for her girls. She said, ‘I’m going to keep trying because there’s something good in him.'”

[….]

Charges filed

So far, charges have been filed against one man. Those charges only include kidnapping at this time.

Mahamed, 37, a Somali national, was charged in a criminal complaint filed Aug. 13 in the U.S. District Court in Springfield, Mo., according to information provided by the Justice Department. Mahamed is not in federal custody and is a fugitive from justice.

[….]

Mahamed is out of the country and was last known to be in the Mexico and Guatemala area, said McDonald County Sheriff Michael Hall. Mahamed recently posted on his Facebook account that he’s back in Somalia.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Justice Department have said they will not extradite a non-naturalized citizen, Hall said.

[….]

In September, Hall said Mahamed was a person of interest, due to the number of domestic violence calls involving the couple. In McDonald County, Mahamed also still faces two felony charges from 2017, against another woman in Noel. He is charged with one count of sodomy in the second degree and one charge of unlawful use of a weapon.

[….]

Lack of action by the Noel Marshal’s Office actually catapulted the situation into a completely different mode, Bailey said.

“The Noel Marshal’s Office did nothing,” Bailey said. “If they had been proactive, Jessica would still be here. I think they thought, ‘Jessica and Tito are fighting again.'”

Bailey said she believes Mahamed was helped by his family and his tribe.

“I think they all helped him get away.”

[….]

Her friends say that comments posted on social media tend to criticize McCormack for having multiple fathers for her three daughters. Others criticize her for being with a Somalian and being a Muslim.

[….]

“No matter what was going on in her life, she was always selfless and wanted to make sure others were OK before worrying about herself.”

Bailey said the young woman had planned to move on. The young Muslim woman, who had converted to that religion on her own accord, wanted to escape her own domestic situation.

“She was just done. She was starting to get her bearings. She was starting to ask questions about Christianity. She was trying to get her footing.”

Rest in peace Jessica.

Tucker Carlson: Big Tech Censors Busier Than Ever

~ Ann Corcoran ~ 5 Comments

In case you missed it, Tucker Carlson had a great opening monologue last night about how Google and Facebook are, more than ever, blocking your ability to see anything that goes against the Leftwing narrative about Donald Trump’s presidency and especially his handling of the Chinese Virus panic.

Normally I try not to post information that is widely available, but you need to see this (surprisingly as of this writing it has only 122 views).

I was especially interested in the discussion with Breitbart editor Alex Marlow that begins at the 9:40 mark where he explains how the tricky b******* at Google have limited Breibart’s reach.

 

And, I guess you have already seen how the Leftwing media has viciously attacked the African doctor speaking on the video that was taken down yesterday.  Just a reminder that ALL Black Lives Do Not Matter!   Clearly, she is one African immigrant the Left would love to deport!

And, one more thing.  I have argued for years that you all should consider setting up blogs and websites of your own.  You know if Biden wins that most alternative media will be wiped out, probably me too.  But, I’m thinking if thousands of you are blogging, they might not be able to silence everyone.

Down the Memory Hole: Story about Mt. Holyoke Professor nearly Killing Fellow Professor has Disappeared

~ Ann Corcoran ~ 2 Comments

How many stories have I posted here at Frauds and Crooks over the last year and a half about crooks, criminals and murderers that have completely disappeared from the news because the alleged criminal doesn’t fit the medias’ spin on who could possibly be a criminal and who can’t.

When Japanese-born (new American!) art professor Rie Hachiyanagi nearly beat to death a fellow female professor at the exclusive Massachusetts college Mt Holyoke, the story made an initial splash in local and state media (never made it to the big time that I ever saw).  I reported it here in January.

But, when reader Cathy recently checked to see what ever happened to the story, she found only a piece at Town and Country published in early April and now poof! the story is gone!

I’ve been thinking that I do need to go back and check on crimes I’ve previously posted and see just how many of those that do not fit the Left’s favorite propaganda have just disappeared as if they never happened.

Wikipedia has this description of the “memory hole,” a place where inconvenient or embarrassing information goes to die.

LOL! It is where Brennan, Clapper, Comey and Peter Strzok assumed their corrupt dealings would go once Hillary was elected.

A memory hole is any mechanism for the deliberate alteration or disappearance of inconvenient or embarrassing documents, photographs, transcripts or other records, such as from a website or other archive, particularly as part of an attempt to give the impression that something never happened.[1][2] The concept was first popularized by George Orwell’s 1949 dystopian novel Nineteen Eighty-Four, where the Party’s Ministry of Truth systematically re-created all potentially embarrassing historical documents, in effect, re-writing all of history to match the often-changing state propaganda. These changes were complete and undetectable.

I’m making a new category entitled ‘Down the Memory Hole’ and this is my first installment….

Obsession and Assault: The Violent Crime That Rocked Mount Holyoke

In the early morning hours of Christmas Eve last year, the Massachusetts state police were dispatched to the home of a longtime professor at Mount Holyoke College. When the on-duty trooper arrived at the home in Leverett, not far from the college, he found a horrific scene: the professor alive but severely wounded, covered in her own blood. As details of the night began to leak out in the weeks that followed, students returned to campus, but without the feeling of lightness and possibility that normally accompanies a new semester at one of America’s prettiest and most prestigious schools.

So much for diversity is strength! Art Professor Rie Hachiyanagi arrested in violent attack at all the women’s college which brags that it is an “inclusive community of students, faculty, and staff in an environment of mutual respect in which all thrive and contribute to the flourishing of others.”

Instead, there was an almost palpable feeling that something was not right here, and perhaps hasn’t been for some time. Because there was a single fact about the incident that was now widely known: The person charged with committing the violence was another one of their beloved professors.

By March, Rie Hachiyanagi, 48, had been sitting in a cell at the Franklin County House of Correction for months, having been denied bail in late February.

[….]

Mount Holyoke quickly distanced itself from Hachiyanagi, emphasizing that the attack occurred during winter recess and off campus, and that the alleged perpetrator has been placed on administrative leave and is banned from campus. The college produced no representatives to speak about Hachiyanagi. There seemed to be a hope that if no one uttered her name she would vanish that much ­sooner—a ghastly figment of the past.

[….]

Judge Mark D. Mason decided to hold Hachiya­nagi without bail, and she will await trial from the county jail. Her next court date, a pretrial conference, is scheduled for April 22.

 

There is much, much more here.

Maybe you can find out what happened at that April 22nd pretrial conference, but I couldn’t!
