Anthony Brian Logan has a news story about a little girl that died needlessly. So, I wonder, just like a lot of the commenters on his channel, why don't we hear about this like we heard about Rayshard Brooks and George Floyd?
One commenter even mentions that she won't get FIVE funerals and the Hollywood bunch won't be doing anything for her.
Crazy stuff, the story about how she died is even crazier...
"An 8-year-old girl named Secoriea Turner was shot while riding in the car with her mother in Atlanta when they happened upon a Black Lives Matter protest area similar to CHAZ / CHOP in Seattle."

"Peaceful protests were hijacked by criminals with a dangerous, destructive agenda. Now, innocent Georgians are being targeted, shot, and left for dead," Kemp, a Republican, said in a statement. "This lawlessness must be stopped and order restored in our capital city. I have declared a State of Emergency and called up the Georgia Guard because the safety of our citizens comes first.

State of Emergency for Georgia.

They may have asked for some help but I sure haven't read about it, they aren't trying enough.
I mean, you could not go online for an entire month when it was George Floyd. He was not an innocent person at all but it was ignored by the media.
This little girl was as innocent as can be, but, nope. Crickets, so to speak.
Yes, there is 'some' news, but in the big picture, they are not even trying to report news, not at all.
What's weird, when I lived close to Dallas, Texas I would watch Channel 4 News, Fox, they were as right-wing as they come, but all I hear about is how bad that Fox is, so I guess that is only a part of Fox that reports stuff online.
I would bet that my old news station Fox 4 News would report on it, so that to me is just plain odd.
One more thing, that picture of the girl is not a good one at all, plus, she is 8 years old, I saw a picture of her and she was a LOT taller and really a cute little girl.
I mean, they use Trump's worst pictures when they show him, it makes me wonder if there is a reason for this.
ALL of the men that have been killed and they have their pictures on the news ALL have pictures that DO NOT depict them.
The images that we see are not what they look like 'now'.
So it makes me think if this is the case of the little girl, why are they not showing her pretty picture?
(I think it's in the video, if I remember right)
I'm just rambling...

Well, to be sure, I have empathy for how you might feel, but I would think that most people care.
I'm perhaps a few thousand miles away, but still, I know about the events, and from media, although Fox News is no longer aired here.
Your reference to Mr Floyd, is totally judgemental, I would have rather you didn't make that comparison, Mr Floyd's death was also totally unneeded, and I don't think there is any doubt it was yet another act of savagery.
Serious questions needed all round, and I would think that's what people really want, and the why fore.
The little girl was not the only child either to lose a life, in the same way over the country.
Atlanta (CNN) - Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp on Monday declared a state of emergency and activated as many as 1,000 National Guard members.
"We've had over 75 shootings in the city over the past several weeks," Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms said when talking about the 8-year-old's death on Sunday. "You can't blame that on APD (Atlanta Police Department)."
After the death of George Floyd in late May there were protests in downtown Atlanta, several of which were followed by looting and vandalism.
"Peaceful protests were hijacked by criminals with a dangerous, destructive agenda. Now, innocent Georgians are being targeted, shot, and left for dead," Kemp said in a statement. "This lawlessness must be stopped and order restored in our capital city."
The governor's statement says the National Guard will "provide support" at state buildings like the Capitol and the Governor's Mansion so state police can increase patrols.
According to CNN affiliate WSB, authorities said 60 to 100 people went to Georgia State Patrol headquarters early Sunday morning and some used bricks or fireworks to damage the building.
Guard troops will also be stationed there, the governor said.

It doesn't fit the narrative. We've had several kids killed over the past two weekends here in Chicago.
Black lives only matter when it is a white person doing the killing.

I'm about to start a thread explaining how crazy it would be for America to "come together by meeting in the middle".
What exactly would the middle be?
