Rather than become bitter, we are choosing to fall back on our faith.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have always taught all of our children to love everyone,\u201d he continued. \u201cWe will continue that lesson knowing full well that not everyone in the world we live in feels the same. Our family will continue to let faith guide us through these unbelievable times and we will pay better attention to our surroundings and where we go.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis summer has been a horrific summer of violence and tragedy here in Akron,\u201d the father said. \u201cOur family is not the only ones who have had to suffer. We know that every situation is different but we also recognize a common grief that our family shares with so many other families whose loved ones have been taken from them, both young and old. We stand shoulder to shoulder with all of the families who are struggling in their grief just as we are struggling beside them with ours.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLove will win,\u201d Mr. Liming concluded the statement. \u201cOf that, I am certain \u2014 not politics, not division, but love. And so by love our family will find a way. That is who we are.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Liming told News 5 Cleveland\u00a0last month that his<span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0son\u2019s two friends, who are black, tried to rescue the 17-year-old while he was still breathing, but were chased, and said one was assaulted by the perpetrators, who then \u201cfinished my son off.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s been said that they abandoned Ethan and it\u2019s not true,\u201d he recalled. \u201cThey did everything they possibly could to help Ethan. They called 911 to get help. And when Ethan was knocked out on the ground, his two African American friends tried to pick up his body and put them in the car, to help save his life. He was still alive at that point. He was still breathing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Akron Police Chief Stephen Mylett almost immediately dismissed questions about hate crime charges, saying investigators\u00a0found no evidence of such a crime.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/father-of-fatally-beaten-ohio-teen-ethan-liming-says-narrative-surrounding-attack-false-provides-new-details\">Father Of Fatally Beaten Ohio Teen Ethan Liming Says Narrative Surrounding Attack False, Provides New\u00a0Details<\/p>\n<p><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Three males who were initially charged with murdering Ohio teen Ethan Liming were\u00a0indicted this week on lesser charges of assault and involuntary manslaughter, avoiding murder charges.
