Jordan Davis’ father on his son’s death, a new documentary, and why black lives matter

By Katie Couric Video Produced by Brian Prowse-Gany  I first met Ron Davis when he appeared on my talk show in February 2014. Just days before, 47-year-old Michael Dunn had been convicted of three counts of attempted murder in what had come to be known as the “loud music trial.” The jury had failed to reach a verdict on the first-degree-murder charge in the death of Ron’s son, 17-year-old Jordan. Ron and his ex-wife and Jordan’s mother,...

Thanks or sharing the video CSM Michael J. Uhlig. I can sympathize with Ron Davis; but, I can not truly empathize with him. It is very sad that 17-year-old Jordan was killed or such a trivial reason.
I know that all lives matter to God and me or that matter. I do my best not to discriminate or any reason.
It is a travesty that 47-year-old Michael Dunn opened fire on a vehicle full of young people because they were playing loud music.

Bad attitudes on both sides resulted in this tragedy. Politeness alone on either side would have saved both of these lives.

I can't watch it now, but I will check it out later. Secondly, I can't stand The douchebag Katie Couric. How does this have anything to do with the whole black lives matter thing? First degree murder? Mr. Dunn planned the murder? I am not sure how anyone is surprised on the outcome of the second trail, part of our justice system that needs to be looked at. Jury can't decide, keep retrying him until you find a jury that will...seems a gray area of double jeopardy.

CSM Michael J. Uhlig Very emontional video that everyone in this country needs to watch. Senseless loss of life and we should be ashamed as a society and as a people that young lives are taken like this every day in this nation (all over the country). I feel for this father and his family! What a tragic event to go through - thanks for sharing the video CSM! RPO Members take a minute to view this video - I think it's worth your time!

Very sad situation, didn't understand the statement about the Black Lives Matter being what they are because of things like this because all I've seen from the majority of the black lives matter group seems to be racist to me and everyone else,if your not black. We as a country need to get beyond what color anyone is and look at their character. I can't help but think if Proverbs 15:1 ( A soft answer turns away wrath, But a harsh word stirs up anger.) was used in this situation maybe we wouldn't be having this conversation. I'm by no way blaming this young man I honestly feel by what I've heard and seen that Mr Dunn should have been convicted. But there has been many times I've had to go back to this scripture to get me through some things.

This is a story with which any parent can relate, especially those who have had to bury a child. I have. I have written more in response and deleted every version. I'm at a loss for words because I fear that the words of a white man aren't wanted in cases such as these. Sad...
