A Dayton victim's cousin just asked for his message to go viral and reach Trump

An Ohio man just asked for his video interview (embedded below) to go viral, so that even President Trump hears it and does something about gun violence, after losing his cousin this weekend in the Dayton mass murder.

Damon Davenport spoke with CNN after his cousin Thomas McNichols was gunned down by a 24-year-old white male who used a hundred round magazine to inflict nine deaths and 26 injuries in only 30 seconds before police gunned him down.

Aggrieved over the sudden loss of his cousin, Davenport didn’t mince words about his loss, and what he expects the President to do. according to Raw Story what readers need to do to make sure that Donald Trump hears his voice:

“This has got to stop and today is going to be the day that it does stop. I’m shouting out to the president of the United States. I want this to go viral.

Make sure this is on every news station. My cousins did not deserve to lose their life.

They had children. Hard-working people. All they were doing is enjoying a night on the town, and they’re dead. Never to come home again, never to see their family again. They’re gone.

And I want the president to hear this. Donald Trump, I want you to hear this. You need to be here right now. You need to.”


The body-armor-clad shooter also claimed his 22-year-old sister’s life outside Ned Peppers, a popular local bar.
