The cowards, this is how its being reported on all major news channels. Lie after lie.

In a statement to ABC News, the Owasso Police Department said it suspected the cause of Benedict's death, but refrained from saying anything pending the results of the medical examiner's office.

The students of Oklahoma are holding walkouts to honor Nex. It would be appreciated if you joined any nearby vigil or march honoring them, in solidarity.

Remember that this wasn't some passive death, transphobes actively and knowingly agitated harm against them. This was a murder, not a suicide. They, an indigenous trans minor, died in the hospital after being assaulted in the bathroom by 6 transphobes.

Last week, a family buried their nonbinary child, Nex Benedict, who died after being brutally beaten in the girls’ bathroom at their high school in Oklahoma. According to their mother, 16-year-old Benedict had been bullied relentlessly for a year leading up to the incident, in which a group of peers ganged up on them and a trans student. It’s a horrific case and one that is inseparable from its context amid a climate of seemingly unceasing anti-LGBT demonization in the state and the nation.

>gets beaten to death
>"suicide"

Aight this is game journalist level logic.

That's an insult to game journalists. Most of the time, they get a bad and unfair rap.

[-] JoeDaRedTrooperYT@lemmygrad.ml 4 points 8 months ago

The problem with game journalism mainly stems from the fact they barely get enough time to do PROPER reviews of the games coupled with the embargo. The closest thing I have to actually accurate game journalist would be folks like ShreddedNerd and MintBlitz.

From what I remember when this was a fresher story, Nex died shortly after being sent away from a hospital they were at after sustaining a head injury. The spontaneous death from an untreated brain bleed hours later is now being ruled a suicide?

they sustained a head injury because a bunch of transphobes (6 to be exact) beat them until they lost consciousness. this was literally murder and they are ruling it a suicide.

If this was Iran the world would be set on fire, the U.S. Is a hypocrite repressive regime that doesn't face consequences

Inside the West, acts by individuals driven by dominant or obscure ideals are put to liberal scrutiny and it’s narrated as their own volition acting with liberty.

Outside the West, everything is facilitated by authoritarian regimes and individuals don’t exist.

I was thinking about this exact contradiction the other day.

Utterly disgusting and completely absurd that they expect us to believe this crock of shit. Imagine helping cover up the murder of a child by claiming they committed suicide, you really can't sink any lower... Only one cure for this depravity: 🧱.
