Blood on their hands; The Death of an Owasso Non-Bbinary High School Student - The Will Rogers Experiment on iHeartRadio

This week Sean Cummings and Kit Fairchild talk about the death of a LGBTQ+ student at Owasso Highschool and how stochastic terrorism by way of hateful and divisive policy, stances and social media post by Ryan Walters and Libs of TikTok have fueled, if not indirectly, threats of violence and safety of the LGBTQ+ community.

The medical examiner has also said the child didn’t even die from the fight. So many untruths about this story were reported in the beginning. The child also didn’t die at the school like originally reported either.

I was instantly bothered by what was originally reported. Nex reminded me of my step daughter. Now I’m bothered by the fact that most of this story is BS. I watched a video yesterday of Nex talking about the fight afterwards to the police. Nex was the one who actually started the physical altercation by dumping water on the other girls. Then the fight broke out. Nex wasn’t beaten to death in the school bathroom for being non binary.

I was bullied relentlessly in high school, simply because I was very close friends with a young man who was rumoured to be gay.

There comes a point when you decide to no longer take what the bullies are dishing out.
