He needs to be put down like the diseased animal that he is.

I hope his justice is swift and effective.

My god! What is the world coming to? If that were my child this man would never see jail. I simply can't state the level of retribution I would dish out on he and his entire blood line. Something like this would push me right over the edge.

I think you have a lot of nut jobs out there that are right on the edge... With everything going on right now I think it's just giving them that little push...

There is clearly a lot we don't know about this event. IMO, one thing we do know is that the murderer should be removed from society. I know I'd be hard pressed not to take direct action if I was the dad and I knew my neighbor was who shot and killed my child.

With all the rhetoric emboldening people to act out it may be a hate crime. Hard to prove that sort of thing, but I know it happens. Prayers for that innocent little angel's family.

From one of the stories I read, the killer and the dad of a little boy were acquaintances if not friends and lived next-door to each other.

Once again a multiple felon is running loose instead of in prison and kills an innocent human being.

https://www.wilsontimes.com/stories/fel ... 2a1,214226
Sessoms was convicted of felony larceny of firearms in Wilson County in March 2016, misdemeanor maintaining a place for a controlled substance in Wake County in April 2016 and felony marijuana possession in Nash County in November 2016, according to N.C. Department of Public Safety records. His probation was revoked twice in 2017, resulting in separate three-month stints in prison.

Court records show Sessoms has two pending counts of felony maintaining a vehicle, dwelling or place for a controlled substance in Wilson County.

Felon in possession of a firearm. Nice to know that gun laws are so effective.

Oh, sure, from the perspective of anti-2A, anti-self-defense types, those laws are very effective. They are effective at leaving good people disarmed, or turning those good people into criminals. Now, as regards ACTUAL violent criminals such as the dirtbag who committed this heinous crime? Of course, you are correct, sir.

Justice will be to slow if left up to the judicial system. The parents should be allowed to execute him if they choose to.
