If someone's killer is immediately apprehended, arrested and charged inside of 24 hours, you don't need a #Justice hashtag. THAT is how it is SUPPOSED to work.
The hashtag is for when you need a 9-minute video, civil unrest and political intervention to get ONE or SOME of that.

People marched in the streets, contacted their politicians, staged sit-ins, the MEDIA IN RESPONSE covered it.
George Floyd's death wasn't some national event on the strength of the video, but a nation's RESPONSE to the video.
And nobody was arrested until AFTER a city burned.

That video went viral FIRST, then the national media decided to come aboard.
P.S. Breonna Taylor's killers are still out there and the people mad today "at the media" don't give a sh!t about her or her family their wait on justice.

Black people weren't complaining that the murder of child Tamir Rice playing in a park didn't get enough "media coverage."
We were complaining he was shot on sight by a police officer who drove up right next to him and dude still walks free today.
But y'all did care JACK then.

We didn't say go take care of crime "in your community" before this child's life mattered. We didn't say, "well what about abortions" before this child's life mattered. You're mad about CNN/MSNBC and the NY Times not a lack of justice. Must be nice to have that as worst issue.
