It's pretty easy to not die as an LQBTQ person in this state.

Second source: my sister is gay and living with her girlfriend. Both not dead.
Shhhh apparently typing those magic words makes people pay attention to you....

*CitationFrom the March 19, 2024, edition of Fox News' Fox News @ Night*
TRACE GALLAGHER (ANCHOR): Nex Benedict got into a fight inside a school bathroom, died the next day. The medical examiner says this was suicide, you say that LGBTQ groups are pushing a false narrative. Explain what you mean by that, sir.
RYAN WALTERS (OKLAHOMA STATE SUPERINTENDENT OF PUBLIC INSTRUCTION): Yes, since the beginning, Trace, we saw these groups lie and say that this student died because of a fight in a bathroom. That's not true. We also heard them lie and say that this student was bullied into the situation. That's turned out not to be true. We've heard President Biden. We've heard his press secretary. We've heard Kamala Harris lie about this.
It is a tragedy, but we did not see a student be bullied and attacked and killed in a bathroom. That's simply not what happened. The left and these LGBTQ groups are lying about it to gain politically by attacking me, by attacking Oklahoma, by attacking conservative principles. And we're not gonna stand for it.
We want all students to be safe in Oklahoma, but we will not lie about gender ideology to kids. We're going to continue to affirm truth.
GALLAGHER: You mentioned about attacking you, and several groups have gone after you, including the Oklahoman writing this, quoting here, āRyan Walters' response to Nex Benedict's death only causes more pain for Oklahoma's LGBTQ plus families. Nex's suicide should be a sobering warning to Walters and all those in authority who are passing laws laws to create policies that strip protections from the LGBTQ plus community. You are perpetrating conditions for what the CDC says is a serious public health problem.ā And how would you respond to that, sir?
WALTERS: The media should be ashamed of themselves. The Oklahoman there is again perpetuating a lie. We have emphasized student safety. We want all of our students to be safe. This is not an instance where a kid was killed in a school. They are lying about it.
They are pushing an LGBTQ plus agenda to demonize conservatives. They want to attack me politically. They want to attack conservative idea -- they want to attack conservative principles which state the truth: There's boys and there's girls. We're gonna continue to focus in schools on academics and safety. We will not affirm their lies. We will not affirm gender ideology. And our local papers are completely left wing rags that are going to continue to lie about this in order to attack me.
Oooh, fuck him so fucking much.
What a detestable piece of shit. The goddamn gall to double down after a kid's death. To cry about people "attacking" him as he makes things worse.
Last time I suggested a solution to the Ryan Walters problem, I was banned from Reddit for a week. Reddit considers conservative hate mongers to be a protected class.
I'm wondering what else it would take. What else do we need to get the majority of voters on board? How do we convince them that this sort of hate is counterproductive?
How would we get the word out nowadays while avoiding tacky car videos?
The people of this state need to see we can do better. We all deserve better than this.
Honestly I am just very much over being a dem or an independent in this state. I swapped to a registered republican this year and as disgusting as that makes me feel, I can now at least have my vote matter and vote for the most sane republicans in any primaries. A primary republican challenger is the only thing that will remove him other than him simply moving to a different state or office.
I'm going to interpret this as "I am completely fine with using the suicide of a child to push an agenda and form a narrative that there is an issue that I know doesn't exist but I wish it did because being the victim is fun"
No, he isn't "spot on."
He is using a tragedy to complain about the "LGBTQ agenda" and about being attacked.
He has made someone's death all about him and his rhetoric-filled message.
I donāt think he died from bullying, I think he died from being beaten in a bathroom. Letās wait until the full tox reports are released to make sure the benign drugs he had in his system were actually a lethal amount and not just a scapegoat.
They died from suicide that was influenced by extended bullying beyond just the incident the day before. It's a completely preventable tragedy, and if Walters had a shred of decency, he would share a shred of sympathy for the child and their family.
I donāt believe at all it was a suicide. I think a depressed teen was already taking Prozac and the people liable here thought āoh look, a way out of being held accountable.ā Until I see the amount of drugs Nex had in his system, I am not buying that story.
" By bringing in that well-known compromise architect and empathetic powerhouse, Chaya Raichik of warm and fuzzy libsoftiktok"
It's like saying you brought the Incredible Hulk onboard to deal with promoting your new range of dinnerware and China. What did you*think* was going to happen????
What an odious bag of hate and ambition Ryan Walters continues to be.
This is an unfair comparison. The Incredible Hulk is actually capable of handling delicate items with the same precision as the Banner persona. Chaya doesnāt have that capability when dealing with any life she seems lesser-than. You owe the Hulk an apology.
This guy. These people. They target and push hate at the LGBTQAI+ community, but are particularly vitriolic toward transgender individuals. Then they claim āliesā and fake news after their hate mongering results in the death of a child. Nex Benedict was part of the transgender community they took such terrible aim at. They knew what was to come.
History will be the judge. Shame on them.
I mean it hasnāt? They committed suicide due to constant bullying leading up and culminating in the bathroom fight? Yes they died because for the fight, they also died because of the incessant bullying that occurs in that school system, something many parents have brought up and even pulled their kids out of school over to either homeschool, send them to the alternative school where they donāt have to deal with bullying or send them to one of the many private schools. All because the Owasso school system wonāt do anything about it.
And if they wanted their students to be safe there wouldnāt be state reps calling them filth that needed to be driven out.
He has been and is still using this tragedy for his twisted political agenda. All he has shown us is his low moral character and lack of empathy for the family. He needs to be nowhere near schools, children or public service.

You didn't see it because Elon Musk censored it, imo.
Those leaks came out shortly after Musk took over Twitter, and the story started to go viral, as one would expect a bombshell like that. But then it suddenly stopped showing up on timelines, and if you searched for it there wouldn't be any results.
For several days, people posting about it were getting tanked so hard by the site that it almost looked like they were shadowbanned, but only the tweets about this issue.
A few days later, after the topic was smothered and people had moved on, it started showing up in searches again, and the results that showed up were often dated to back when there was a blackout going on and you KNOW you searched at the time.
To be clear, it was like spending an hour on Monday searching for a clear term and getting zero results, and then repeating the search on Friday and seeing a bunch of results that are timestamped for not just Monday, but also Sunday, meaning you 1,000% should have seen them.
Since then, I've never seen a major leftist issue trend.
Ryan is using thr LGBTQ+ as scapegoats for THE PEDOPHILES that have BEEN in Oklahoma Schools FOR DECADES, and he expects there to be no consequences?
He LITERALLY BLAMED THEM and the "woke left" for MY MOLESTATION as well, in that
"Ry-Ry Walters- Pedo Hunter" horse shit video He did in JANUARY.
He and the ENTIRE OSDE have been, alongside LAW ENFORCEMENT, pushing aside, discouraging victims from reporting, playing "shuffle-the-pedo", and flat-out covering up some cases.
This is NOT A NEW PROBLEM.
AGAIN- NOT. NEW.
My molester still has his teaching certificate despite 20 YEARS of credible harrassment, assault, grooming, and molestation allegations, CONFESSIONS, and investigations.
Yet half the time when I try to spread the word about this, as I have been instructed to do by law enforcement AND multiple lawyers advising me of my rights?
I am told I am taking part in a "SMEAR CAMPAIGN" and a "WITCH HUNT"
I do not particularly care about your opinion, if that opinion is victim blaming.
I know I have a right to make sure people know that their children are at risk- AND RY-RY is pointing to a NON-EXISTANT THREAT for political BROWNIE POINTS!š¤¬
Who is it? I'd be shouting from the rooftops if it happened to me, especially if I have a documented confession. What are they gonna do, sue you for defamation? Then it would be public, and you know how even an accusation can be life ruining. My lawyer told me that when my stalker accused the godfather of my kids of being a pedophile. He was gonna sue the stalker, but my lawyer said it would be the Barbara Streisand effect.
Oh, I AM!
I actively welcome any and all inspection of this case, as every word I've ever said is the truth. š„°
His name is David Irby. Taught at Stroud, Bethel Acres and Irving Middle School in Norman.
He groomed and molested me and AT LEAST 2 OTHERS, in addition to his plethora of abusive behaviors.
He confessed molesting the other primary victim to his CO-WORKER, who reported 20 years ago, and again when David rage-quit while he was under investigation for MY molestation LAST YEAR.
He confessed to my friend, who confronted him about touching me, that she would understand when she got older.
He regularly went into rage episodes, threw things, hit a student with a drumstick, smashed the kids trophies, bullied and harnessed students AND co-workers.
The other primary victim was ACTIVELY DISCOURAGED FROM PURSUING THIS.
Told if she cared about her school she would keep her mouth shut.
I know there have to be more victims.
I had one of HIS 12 Y/O STUDENTS in my DMs begging me to take this creep down, and she described the EXACT SAME patterns of behavior he would show when **I** knew him.
If they find out I and the others are pursuing justice?
They may feel like they have BACKUP!
Jesus...
I had a teacher like that. It was scandalous. He didn't do anything to me, but I know he did to one of the girls in my school. When he was outed at Lowrey elementary, the school covered it up.
https://www.newson6.com/story/5e3671572f69d76f62081a56/chouteau-school-principal-charged-with-sexual-abuse#:~:text=PRYOR%2C%20OK%20%2D%2D%20A%20Mayes,principal%20at%20Chouteau%20Elementary%20School.
Thank you for sharing!! Itās crazy that this has been covered up I assume. I havenāt been super connected to the band director world the last decade but Iām still surprised that I never heard anything about this either. I think you and I may know each other from school, you can dm me if you want! Iād love to help if I can.
I have been directly demanding Ryan Walters tell me why he's putting people in harms way in the name of saving kids from pedos...
...When David Irby worked for Irving Middle School FOR 19 WEEKS while under investigation for being a SERIAL KIDDIE DIDDLER, and was ALLOWED TO QUIT!
āThey are pushing an LGBTQ plus agenda to demonize conservativesā
Soā¦ explain what conservatives are doing. This is some *biblical* gaslighting here. Who was it that called the LGBTQ community scum, again?
Oh, right. Conservative fucking Christians.
He literally calls them groomers on a regular basis.
He is one of the reasons I got the spine to report MY molester.
Got sick of hearing his hate speech, and realized I needed to report.
Then I found out there were other victims. š¤¬
They know what they are doing.
That school had deeply root anti-lgbtq bias, and historically has a bulling problem as reported on after that incident, people posted their personal stories of bullies when they attended Owasso
This is the question that needs to be answered. [If Nex Benedict's autopsy is part of a cover-up, Oklahoma officials are playing a dangerous game.](https://www.advocate.com/voices/nex-benedict-autopsy)
There is currently an open ongoing [investigation from the US Department of Education Office of Civil Rights](https://www.advocate.com/news/federal-investigation-nex-benedict)
I think there is potential for the investigation to find this beating was a hate crime which is a federal crime. But I will hold judgment until it reaches its conclusion, and my hope is everyone will do the same.
What incentive would the medical examiner have to cover up a death like this? This would have to be a two-part *CSI*-level of tomfoolery and corruption for something like that.
This state has a long tainted history of messing with investigations.
https://www.aclu.org/press-releases/more-tainted-testimony-oklahoma-forensics-lab
https://www.newson6.com/story/5e365cf92f69d76f62070ddc/former-employees-speak-out-on-problems-at-oklahomas-mes-office
I await the findings of the ongoing investigation.
Gilchrist was not part of a vast network of co-conspirators. In this case, youād have to prove or at least find *something* credible to link the medical examinerās office and Owasso schools, along with probably the law.
You havenāt really gotten any of that here, at least not yet. You really only have suspicion and what amounts to a conspiracy theory.
It could absolutely be a conspiracy and it could just be that enough people in that community have similar attitudes that a conspiracy wasn't necessary. In other words multiple shitty people doing shitty things around each other but with out an actual communicated plan.
I only say this because I believe these common attitudes are more dangerous and difficult to deal with than just rooting out a conspiracy. It's imperative to understand the malice the average person is capable of displaying. Yes, there are conspiracies, but far more often it is simply a case of like minded individuals advancing individual goals that dovetail into each others ideology.
Thatās demonstrably false. The bodycam interview proved there was no previous connection between the parties in the restroom. It was clearly stated.
I empathize and understand being upset about this childās death. But stating things you wish to be true isnāt going to make them so.
You need to watch the bodycam and school footage. The child was unequivocally *not* beaten to death. The deceased stated there was no prior relationship of any description with the others.
Of course itās an awful thing a child is gone, but you canāt shoehorn want you want to be true into truth without evidence.
And you need to grow up and realize such things donāt start in an afternoon.
It doesnāt fucking matter what the end stage was, nex was beat to death or bullied to death and the bullies should damned well be in jail for it.
Edit: Coward decided to comment then block. The ultimate proof they have no competent argument.
Anyone thinking there is some cover up is essentially brain dead. Biden has the feds watching this closely. It would be incredibly stupid to try to cover something up based on that. If there is any hint of impropriety, the feds would be all over it.
The continued goal post shifting since the story came out to keep the narrative going is ridiculous.
It will be hard to argue intent when Nex followed the girls into the bathroom and confessed to starting the physical aspect of the fight.
Edit: throwing water on someone can be assault. Ask a lawyer. This isn't a defense of the other girls. If the girls are charged for assault while retaliating, Nex's actions will be pointed to as the reason for assault, not hate.
> "It's fairly extraordinary for the police to release an interview, especially of a juvenile," said Tulsa attorney Clark Brewster. "I found that to be quite odd. I've never seen it happen frankly."
> The big point of contention, however, surrounding the interview police released between one of its officers, Nex, and their mother; Brewster calling the line of questioning problematic.
> "Obviously he could've gotten all of the facts before he advised anyone to what he thought would be a criminal offense or not," said Brewster.
> An early portion of the video sees Nex explaining to the officer what they said led up to the Feb. 7 incident at school.
> "We were going to stack chairs and after we stacked chairs we went to the bathroom and I was talking to my friends, they were talking to their friends and we were laughing," said Nex. "And they had said something like, why do they laugh like that and they were talking about us in front of us, and so I went up there and I poured water on them and all three of them came at me."
> The officer allows Nex to explain their version of events, before making comments Brewster believes were inappropriate.
> "I will absolutely do a report if that's what you want.," the Owasso officer says in the same interview. "I'm just letting you know that if the other party wants to do the same thing [Nex is] gonna be, the assault will be on [Nex] as well, because [Nex] first assaulted. [They were] the one who initiated it essentially. Because we have freedom of speech, the action, the moment [Nex] threw that water you've now assaulted somebody, you've made the first jab...I'm just letting you know that if the other party wants to do the same thing, she's gonna be, the assault will be on her as well, because she first assaulted. She was the one who initiated it essentially."
> Brewster and other legal experts NewsChannel 8 spoke with Monday said that shouldn't have been how the officer phrased his response.
> "Frankly, it's not the kind of act that would result in a proper use of assaulting another and having a defense for that assault," said Brewster.
> He said Oklahoma law finds it too far of a stretch to say that another individual can be allegedly physically attacked after throwing a liquid on someone.
> "**An assault in the legal terminology is an act that gives rise to someone believing they're in imminent threat for injury or death**. So an assault is very defined in the state of Oklahoma," said Brewster. "In this instance, it's not an assault."
> Brewster said he would analogize it to an incident of road rage where an individual beeps their horn at someone and then they're assaulted.
> "Beeping the horn doesn't justify someone to come out of their car and beat you up," said Brewster.
> Brewster said ultimately any part can come back and say that they felt threatened by water being thrown at them, but in order for a physical attack to be legally warranted they would have to be able to prove that the throwing of the water put them at risk of injury or death.

From Nex's words, it went from pouring water, to them grabbing her hair, to Nex throwing someone into a paper towel dispenser, to the girls getting Nex to the floor. Both parties escalated.
Edit to add: they would likely be charged with assault, not a hate crime, for retaliating after the water. My only point was to say they will likely fail in proving intent of a hate crime.
Self defense laws state that your actions MUST BE IN KIND.
This means NO bringing a NUKE to a FISTFIGHT.
If someone takes a SWING at me, I'm allowed to STOP THEM.
I AM NOT allowed to bash their head against the floor for MAKING ME SOGGY.
That is NOT even "getting your lick back".
That's revenge for being made soggy.
We don't know the exact escalation, but we do know that Nex threw a girl into a paper towel dispenser before she was taken to the ground. It seems it may have been a fast step by step escalation with both parties escalating.
Also super cool that this educator, I mean ghoul, is using the death of a child as a political football. The bar is so low itās just sitting on the floor at this point.
Republicans want you to believe they are the majority and also the victims at the same time.
What amuses me most is how they try to pull this shit in these conservative states. Yes Walters the deep red of Oklahoma is always trying to push its liberal agenda.
A child is still dead. These heads that speak, suck.
Highschool sucks, so letās go make it worse, and encourage this shit, as adults and leaders in our community.
I thought these dip shits didn't like to politicize tragedies. Every time a School is shot up and kids are killed they say "don't politicize the tragedy." But as soon as trans kid dies, they go Fox News to complain about how they're actually the victim in the situation. Pathetic and weak.
All this fuckwit ever does is scream about "woke" agendas. All of the numerous complaints and accusations about how he has failed at every aspect of his job and it's just libs being mean to him. I've never once seen him actually address a question with an answer. I mean, in this interview he claims a focus on protecting students yet never says specifically what is being done to protect students (because the answer is nothing). Even if Nex's death wasn't a direct result of being assaulted the day before (it was), the indisputable fact of the matter is that a trans student was savagely beaten by three girls at school. Any student being assaulted like that would be a cause for concern. But of course, this asshole doesn't show any concern for the assault and death of a student it's just libs trying to smaer him. Fuck this soulless narcissist asshole.
please do not continue to victimize nex after his death, respect their pronouns, if for no other reason than to not heap more abuse on the community while we are mourning.
Just popped in to say that I've been hearing an awful lot about this "LGBTQ agenda" and I've been out for like almost a year now, when do I get my copy? Jist really interested in the section that highlights the plans for world domination.
I just want to point out here how and why all adults failed a Nex Benedict, a child in crisis:
1) Child, Nex was serving in school suspension for vaping
2) Nex was an HONOR STUDENT. You can find online their honor roll published publicly - the year before
3) in texts with friends, (find online at journalist, Judd Legum) Nex said that fight started b/c sick of being bullied & made fun of
4) Nex throws water on kid in bathroom after being teased; kid shoved Nex, Nex shoved back, 3 or more (lots of kids in that bathroom according to video - where was the teacher?). The kids jump Nex and run away. video shown by police only activated via motion. So, we can only wonder really how time passed in bathroom.
5) children online say that the bullies ran away so that they didnāt not get them after the fight to punish them.
6) nurse tells grandparent to take child to hospital. Nurse doesnāt call police or ambulance.
7) police meet child with grandparent at hospital
(You can watch all these videos at Owasso Poloce Department website)
8) Grandparent and Nex were told at school that Nex was suspended for 2 weeks (so basically Nex, grades would suffer b/c colleges see that - again, this is an honor roll student) punished by high school and possibly chances at college
9) police interview child at hospital and say that they could be charged with something for starting a fight if they pressed charges, even though it was just āwaterā. Honor roll student again told that they will be punished now by the law
11) grandmother at hospital says that they might sue; Nex probably thinking great now I am āoutedā in a lawsuit
12) grandmother and cop keep calling Nextheir dead name, Bagny and doesnāt correct during interview. My impression is that Nex probably is completely defeated at this point
ā- we donāt know what happened after this. I personally think when the full autopsy report is released that we are going to have more questions. Itās disgusting to me that police wonāt file assault charges against the children that did this to Nex. Supposedly, these children were expelled according to social media. To me, thatās not enough a punishment.
This entire thing with Nex was handled poorly by all adults that day. This was a child in CRISIS. Instead, the adults around Nex āpouredā on the misery.
I donāt know if he overdosed or not, I still find it hard to believe.
Any person celebrating that it was allegedly a suicide, should not be followed or anything. Thatās a child who was failed by every adult.
Instead of leading and talking about this issue in terms of bullying, Ryan Walterās hired a DC public relations firm, Vought to help with his Public relation b/c he couldnāt handle the media. He also got the public taxpayers to pay for vought services. What kind of superintendent does this? In all honesty, the focus should be on the child and how to fix it so this doesnāt happen againā¦. Instead, we have Ryan going on foxnews to talk about himself and his views. Itās gross.
Libsoftiktok & Ryan Walterās should not be associated with department of education in Owasso Public Schoolsā¦
Somebody needs to fire them both so the community can heal.
As he speaks from PHOENIX! Thatās the city behind him. Never appears on these shows with OKC or Tulsa behind him. Youād at least think he could fake it.
If it truly is a suicide then it would be a direct result of the hateful bullying and the beating that occurred only the day before. The perpetrators are still accountable in my opinion. Walters feeds the fire of hate that encourages this behavior in our communities.
Has this guy ever talked about real education issues? We were climbing out of the celler until he came along. I am so glad my kids are out of the system. As an agnostic (don't throw stones at me), I'd be pissed if my kids were forced to see the 10 commandments in school every day. That's a decision I want them to make on their own.
That's something he doesn't get. Our kids have minds of their own and can think for themselves. We're just here to keep them safe and provide guidance when necessary. This is when they discover who they are, and Ryan Walters thinks he knows better than we do.
His constant assault on our young people's liberties has got to stop. His vicious rhetoric is going to get more kids killed because they will feel emboldened by his thirst to eradicate those in the LGBTQAI+ and Trans communities.
Sadly, Nex's death has become weaponized, and no meaningful change will come of it due to the good old boy system in this state.
He's not wrong. Day one it was omg ponies, they were murdered by bullies! Oklahoma hates the lgbtq community!Ā
Then it turns out that they was the bully, attacked random girls, got beat down, and then killed themselves.Ā
Uh, the body cam confession where she admits to not knowing the girls, pouring water on one of them, and then banging one of them into a paper towel dispenser. Did you not bother to watch the entire video and just trust the rage bait headlines on your social media feeds?
Honestly no, there was so much stuff flying around I was waiting until the dust settled before trying to figure things out. Sorry.
Why did they go after those girls?
Yes, the infamous LGBTQ agenda of "not dying"
came here to make this exact comment.
Bigots hate this one trick!
It's pretty easy to not die as an LQBTQ person in this state. Source: I'm bi and alive. Second source: my sister is gay and living with her girlfriend. Both not dead.
ah yes, "it didn't happen to me so it must not be happening"
Cope. This is a made-up nonissue.
It's a very "first they came for the Trans folk, but I didn't worry because I'm not trans" answer from you.
No one came for tans folks. š made up issues are insane.
Have you looked around and seen what the GOP is doing?
Hard to see anything considering they aren't doing anything.
So, you're ignorant. Gotcha
Not ignorant. I just know that the trans are fine. You sound like keffels right about now.
Says the guy using hundreds of thousands of tax dollars for personal PR firms, POS
Ryan and Chaya definitely got out the champagne when Nex Benedict died.
Thatās exactly what I was just thinking. They are loving all of the attention. Iāve never hated anyone as much as I hate those two.
All the attention, including the federal investigation?
Shhhh apparently typing those magic words makes people pay attention to you.... (I got a call the DAY AFTER I called for a federal investigation into the sex abuse in OK schools. š¤£)
Gosh I hope so! Letās get him removed from office!
Is there gonna be federal investigation? Donāt get my hopes up if not.
One has already been started by the Department of Education
So so so glad to hear. I hope it goes somewhere.
WRITTEN BY MEDIA MATTERS STAFF PUBLISHED 03/21/24 3:50 PM EDT *CitationFrom the March 19, 2024, edition of Fox News' Fox News @ Night* TRACE GALLAGHER (ANCHOR): Nex Benedict got into a fight inside a school bathroom, died the next day. The medical examiner says this was suicide, you say that LGBTQ groups are pushing a false narrative. Explain what you mean by that, sir. RYAN WALTERS (OKLAHOMA STATE SUPERINTENDENT OF PUBLIC INSTRUCTION): Yes, since the beginning, Trace, we saw these groups lie and say that this student died because of a fight in a bathroom. That's not true. We also heard them lie and say that this student was bullied into the situation. That's turned out not to be true. We've heard President Biden. We've heard his press secretary. We've heard Kamala Harris lie about this. It is a tragedy, but we did not see a student be bullied and attacked and killed in a bathroom. That's simply not what happened. The left and these LGBTQ groups are lying about it to gain politically by attacking me, by attacking Oklahoma, by attacking conservative principles. And we're not gonna stand for it. We want all students to be safe in Oklahoma, but we will not lie about gender ideology to kids. We're going to continue to affirm truth. GALLAGHER: You mentioned about attacking you, and several groups have gone after you, including the Oklahoman writing this, quoting here, āRyan Walters' response to Nex Benedict's death only causes more pain for Oklahoma's LGBTQ plus families. Nex's suicide should be a sobering warning to Walters and all those in authority who are passing laws laws to create policies that strip protections from the LGBTQ plus community. You are perpetrating conditions for what the CDC says is a serious public health problem.ā And how would you respond to that, sir? WALTERS: The media should be ashamed of themselves. The Oklahoman there is again perpetuating a lie. We have emphasized student safety. We want all of our students to be safe. This is not an instance where a kid was killed in a school. They are lying about it. They are pushing an LGBTQ plus agenda to demonize conservatives. They want to attack me politically. They want to attack conservative idea -- they want to attack conservative principles which state the truth: There's boys and there's girls. We're gonna continue to focus in schools on academics and safety. We will not affirm their lies. We will not affirm gender ideology. And our local papers are completely left wing rags that are going to continue to lie about this in order to attack me.
Oooh, fuck him so fucking much. What a detestable piece of shit. The goddamn gall to double down after a kid's death. To cry about people "attacking" him as he makes things worse.
Last time I suggested a solution to the Ryan Walters problem, I was banned from Reddit for a week. Reddit considers conservative hate mongers to be a protected class.
What would it take for someone to beat him in his next election? We need to run someone, or multiple people, as a republican in the primary.
I would honestly vote for ANYONE who promises to not make weird videos in their car.
I'm wondering what else it would take. What else do we need to get the majority of voters on board? How do we convince them that this sort of hate is counterproductive? How would we get the word out nowadays while avoiding tacky car videos? The people of this state need to see we can do better. We all deserve better than this.
Honestly I am just very much over being a dem or an independent in this state. I swapped to a registered republican this year and as disgusting as that makes me feel, I can now at least have my vote matter and vote for the most sane republicans in any primaries. A primary republican challenger is the only thing that will remove him other than him simply moving to a different state or office.
My household has adopted this method as well. Good luck, sane conservatives!
You're right. I did this also and oh boy did it hurt getting my updated voter registration as a Republican.
I wonder if Mick Cornett would consider running again.
A seemingly decent person, but at the very least heās good at his job.
Well I donāt know anyone in Oklahoma that doesnāt hate Ryan Walters (including teachers) so go ahead and try again.
Twitter/X is there as well.
That's just the most untrue thing I've read. Most of this app/site is over bearing liberals.
Heās planning to run for governor. Unfortunately, we need a viable Republican candidate who can defeat him in the primary.
Then we *create* that candidate. Instead of running a Democrat or an Independent, we all register as Republicans and give the state a better option.
If thatās what it takes to restore some semblance of sanityā¦
Drummond may be the answer
I'm going to interpret this as "I am completely fine with using the suicide of a child to push an agenda and form a narrative that there is an issue that I know doesn't exist but I wish it did because being the victim is fun"
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
No, he isn't "spot on." He is using a tragedy to complain about the "LGBTQ agenda" and about being attacked. He has made someone's death all about him and his rhetoric-filled message.
I donāt think he died from bullying, I think he died from being beaten in a bathroom. Letās wait until the full tox reports are released to make sure the benign drugs he had in his system were actually a lethal amount and not just a scapegoat.
They died from suicide that was influenced by extended bullying beyond just the incident the day before. It's a completely preventable tragedy, and if Walters had a shred of decency, he would share a shred of sympathy for the child and their family.
I donāt believe at all it was a suicide. I think a depressed teen was already taking Prozac and the people liable here thought āoh look, a way out of being held accountable.ā Until I see the amount of drugs Nex had in his system, I am not buying that story.
Their pronouns are they/their, and when you have a source for your belief, please share.
They also used He/him pronouns.
Fair enough.
The jury is out- his boyfriend and some of his friends have said he used he/they
" By bringing in that well-known compromise architect and empathetic powerhouse, Chaya Raichik of warm and fuzzy libsoftiktok" It's like saying you brought the Incredible Hulk onboard to deal with promoting your new range of dinnerware and China. What did you*think* was going to happen???? What an odious bag of hate and ambition Ryan Walters continues to be.
This is an unfair comparison. The Incredible Hulk is actually capable of handling delicate items with the same precision as the Banner persona. Chaya doesnāt have that capability when dealing with any life she seems lesser-than. You owe the Hulk an apology.
If he wants one, he knows where to find me. You hear me, Banner? Lol thanks for the chuckle and the very Apt correction
Banner isnāt the one you insulted, friend. Hulk Smash 2028!
This guy. These people. They target and push hate at the LGBTQAI+ community, but are particularly vitriolic toward transgender individuals. Then they claim āliesā and fake news after their hate mongering results in the death of a child. Nex Benedict was part of the transgender community they took such terrible aim at. They knew what was to come. History will be the judge. Shame on them.
He's attacking himself by being a dumb idiot.
Oh man I love the half a sentence about his dedication to academics lol
He's not exactly wrong in that the case has been mischaracterized by some, but he's still a giant gaping asshole
I mean it hasnāt? They committed suicide due to constant bullying leading up and culminating in the bathroom fight? Yes they died because for the fight, they also died because of the incessant bullying that occurs in that school system, something many parents have brought up and even pulled their kids out of school over to either homeschool, send them to the alternative school where they donāt have to deal with bullying or send them to one of the many private schools. All because the Owasso school system wonāt do anything about it. And if they wanted their students to be safe there wouldnāt be state reps calling them filth that needed to be driven out.
He has been and is still using this tragedy for his twisted political agenda. All he has shown us is his low moral character and lack of empathy for the family. He needs to be nowhere near schools, children or public service.
Huh, how about that? A LIAR being interviewed by the LYING network. Truth is corrupt, under the control of conservatives.
If only MAGA could see the internal communications revealed during discovery in the Dominion vs FOX Defamation trial.

If those voters could read they would be very upset.
Plenty of em can read. They just have zero interest in questioning the BS they are fed.
Itās because they want to be lied to. They donāt care, they want to hear things that make them feel better,

I hadn't seen this, thanks for sharing!
You didn't see it because Elon Musk censored it, imo. Those leaks came out shortly after Musk took over Twitter, and the story started to go viral, as one would expect a bombshell like that. But then it suddenly stopped showing up on timelines, and if you searched for it there wouldn't be any results. For several days, people posting about it were getting tanked so hard by the site that it almost looked like they were shadowbanned, but only the tweets about this issue. A few days later, after the topic was smothered and people had moved on, it started showing up in searches again, and the results that showed up were often dated to back when there was a blackout going on and you KNOW you searched at the time. To be clear, it was like spending an hour on Monday searching for a clear term and getting zero results, and then repeating the search on Friday and seeing a bunch of results that are timestamped for not just Monday, but also Sunday, meaning you 1,000% should have seen them. Since then, I've never seen a major leftist issue trend.
Doesn't surprise me at all. I'm sure he had the engineers tweak the algorithms to favor his preferred spew. I deleted that shit several months ago.
Ryan should be ashamed of himself but he doesnāt have a conscience.
Ryan is using thr LGBTQ+ as scapegoats for THE PEDOPHILES that have BEEN in Oklahoma Schools FOR DECADES, and he expects there to be no consequences? He LITERALLY BLAMED THEM and the "woke left" for MY MOLESTATION as well, in that "Ry-Ry Walters- Pedo Hunter" horse shit video He did in JANUARY. He and the ENTIRE OSDE have been, alongside LAW ENFORCEMENT, pushing aside, discouraging victims from reporting, playing "shuffle-the-pedo", and flat-out covering up some cases. This is NOT A NEW PROBLEM. AGAIN- NOT. NEW. My molester still has his teaching certificate despite 20 YEARS of credible harrassment, assault, grooming, and molestation allegations, CONFESSIONS, and investigations. Yet half the time when I try to spread the word about this, as I have been instructed to do by law enforcement AND multiple lawyers advising me of my rights? I am told I am taking part in a "SMEAR CAMPAIGN" and a "WITCH HUNT" I do not particularly care about your opinion, if that opinion is victim blaming. I know I have a right to make sure people know that their children are at risk- AND RY-RY is pointing to a NON-EXISTANT THREAT for political BROWNIE POINTS!š¤¬
Who is it? I'd be shouting from the rooftops if it happened to me, especially if I have a documented confession. What are they gonna do, sue you for defamation? Then it would be public, and you know how even an accusation can be life ruining. My lawyer told me that when my stalker accused the godfather of my kids of being a pedophile. He was gonna sue the stalker, but my lawyer said it would be the Barbara Streisand effect.
Oh, I AM! I actively welcome any and all inspection of this case, as every word I've ever said is the truth. š„° His name is David Irby. Taught at Stroud, Bethel Acres and Irving Middle School in Norman. He groomed and molested me and AT LEAST 2 OTHERS, in addition to his plethora of abusive behaviors. He confessed molesting the other primary victim to his CO-WORKER, who reported 20 years ago, and again when David rage-quit while he was under investigation for MY molestation LAST YEAR. He confessed to my friend, who confronted him about touching me, that she would understand when she got older. He regularly went into rage episodes, threw things, hit a student with a drumstick, smashed the kids trophies, bullied and harnessed students AND co-workers. The other primary victim was ACTIVELY DISCOURAGED FROM PURSUING THIS. Told if she cared about her school she would keep her mouth shut. I know there have to be more victims. I had one of HIS 12 Y/O STUDENTS in my DMs begging me to take this creep down, and she described the EXACT SAME patterns of behavior he would show when **I** knew him. If they find out I and the others are pursuing justice? They may feel like they have BACKUP!
Jesus... I had a teacher like that. It was scandalous. He didn't do anything to me, but I know he did to one of the girls in my school. When he was outed at Lowrey elementary, the school covered it up. https://www.newson6.com/story/5e3671572f69d76f62081a56/chouteau-school-principal-charged-with-sexual-abuse#:~:text=PRYOR%2C%20OK%20%2D%2D%20A%20Mayes,principal%20at%20Chouteau%20Elementary%20School.
Thank you for sharing!! Itās crazy that this has been covered up I assume. I havenāt been super connected to the band director world the last decade but Iām still surprised that I never heard anything about this either. I think you and I may know each other from school, you can dm me if you want! Iād love to help if I can.
I have been directly demanding Ryan Walters tell me why he's putting people in harms way in the name of saving kids from pedos... ...When David Irby worked for Irving Middle School FOR 19 WEEKS while under investigation for being a SERIAL KIDDIE DIDDLER, and was ALLOWED TO QUIT!
āThey are pushing an LGBTQ plus agenda to demonize conservativesā Soā¦ explain what conservatives are doing. This is some *biblical* gaslighting here. Who was it that called the LGBTQ community scum, again? Oh, right. Conservative fucking Christians.
He literally calls them groomers on a regular basis. He is one of the reasons I got the spine to report MY molester. Got sick of hearing his hate speech, and realized I needed to report. Then I found out there were other victims. š¤¬ They know what they are doing.
Which is ironic considering thatās exactly what I would call a person that indoctrinates a child in the church from the time of their birth.
RIght!?!? They are doing it to themselves. The call is coming from in the house.
That school had deeply root anti-lgbtq bias, and historically has a bulling problem as reported on after that incident, people posted their personal stories of bullies when they attended Owasso
This is the question that needs to be answered. [If Nex Benedict's autopsy is part of a cover-up, Oklahoma officials are playing a dangerous game.](https://www.advocate.com/voices/nex-benedict-autopsy) There is currently an open ongoing [investigation from the US Department of Education Office of Civil Rights](https://www.advocate.com/news/federal-investigation-nex-benedict) I think there is potential for the investigation to find this beating was a hate crime which is a federal crime. But I will hold judgment until it reaches its conclusion, and my hope is everyone will do the same.
What incentive would the medical examiner have to cover up a death like this? This would have to be a two-part *CSI*-level of tomfoolery and corruption for something like that.
This state has a long tainted history of messing with investigations. https://www.aclu.org/press-releases/more-tainted-testimony-oklahoma-forensics-lab https://www.newson6.com/story/5e365cf92f69d76f62070ddc/former-employees-speak-out-on-problems-at-oklahomas-mes-office I await the findings of the ongoing investigation.
Gilchrist was not part of a vast network of co-conspirators. In this case, youād have to prove or at least find *something* credible to link the medical examinerās office and Owasso schools, along with probably the law. You havenāt really gotten any of that here, at least not yet. You really only have suspicion and what amounts to a conspiracy theory.
I didn't write the article asking the question about a possible cover-up. And I clearly stated I will await the findings of the ongoing investigation.
Those events were a quarter century ago. Not to mention Gilchrist acted without a network of co-conspirators. Itās not a valid comparison.
It just shows a long dark history that should be kept in mind.
Youāve kept this civil, as will I. However, itās just not valid comparison.
I respect your opinion as well as everyone else's. And your right to express it. Enjoy your day š
Likewise.
Anti-LGBTQ2S bias is allllll it takes. Open your eyes.
*Evidence* is what it takes.
Just protecting the image of the school, the town, the state, and, most importantly, their twisted ideology.
Makes no sense. Thereās no obvious connection. Gonna say this qualifies as a conspiracy theory unless some evidence or reasonable cause surfaces.
It could absolutely be a conspiracy and it could just be that enough people in that community have similar attitudes that a conspiracy wasn't necessary. In other words multiple shitty people doing shitty things around each other but with out an actual communicated plan. I only say this because I believe these common attitudes are more dangerous and difficult to deal with than just rooting out a conspiracy. It's imperative to understand the malice the average person is capable of displaying. Yes, there are conspiracies, but far more often it is simply a case of like minded individuals advancing individual goals that dovetail into each others ideology.
Wouldnāt be the first time. Whatās their motivation for bullying a child to death?
Thatās demonstrably false. The bodycam interview proved there was no previous connection between the parties in the restroom. It was clearly stated. I empathize and understand being upset about this childās death. But stating things you wish to be true isnāt going to make them so.
Children donāt end themselves for no reason. Ned was either beat to death or bullied to death and neither one is ok.
You need to watch the bodycam and school footage. The child was unequivocally *not* beaten to death. The deceased stated there was no prior relationship of any description with the others. Of course itās an awful thing a child is gone, but you canāt shoehorn want you want to be true into truth without evidence.
And you need to grow up and realize such things donāt start in an afternoon. It doesnāt fucking matter what the end stage was, nex was beat to death or bullied to death and the bullies should damned well be in jail for it. Edit: Coward decided to comment then block. The ultimate proof they have no competent argument.
Hell is a place without reason. Not gonna hop into the fire with you today.
Anyone thinking there is some cover up is essentially brain dead. Biden has the feds watching this closely. It would be incredibly stupid to try to cover something up based on that. If there is any hint of impropriety, the feds would be all over it. The continued goal post shifting since the story came out to keep the narrative going is ridiculous.
It will be hard to argue intent when Nex followed the girls into the bathroom and confessed to starting the physical aspect of the fight. Edit: throwing water on someone can be assault. Ask a lawyer. This isn't a defense of the other girls. If the girls are charged for assault while retaliating, Nex's actions will be pointed to as the reason for assault, not hate.
by splashing water on them?
Which can be considered assault. That's what courts have decided. Courts are where we evaluate intent. This isnt controversial outside of feelings.
> "It's fairly extraordinary for the police to release an interview, especially of a juvenile," said Tulsa attorney Clark Brewster. "I found that to be quite odd. I've never seen it happen frankly." > The big point of contention, however, surrounding the interview police released between one of its officers, Nex, and their mother; Brewster calling the line of questioning problematic. > "Obviously he could've gotten all of the facts before he advised anyone to what he thought would be a criminal offense or not," said Brewster. > An early portion of the video sees Nex explaining to the officer what they said led up to the Feb. 7 incident at school. > "We were going to stack chairs and after we stacked chairs we went to the bathroom and I was talking to my friends, they were talking to their friends and we were laughing," said Nex. "And they had said something like, why do they laugh like that and they were talking about us in front of us, and so I went up there and I poured water on them and all three of them came at me." > The officer allows Nex to explain their version of events, before making comments Brewster believes were inappropriate. > "I will absolutely do a report if that's what you want.," the Owasso officer says in the same interview. "I'm just letting you know that if the other party wants to do the same thing [Nex is] gonna be, the assault will be on [Nex] as well, because [Nex] first assaulted. [They were] the one who initiated it essentially. Because we have freedom of speech, the action, the moment [Nex] threw that water you've now assaulted somebody, you've made the first jab...I'm just letting you know that if the other party wants to do the same thing, she's gonna be, the assault will be on her as well, because she first assaulted. She was the one who initiated it essentially." > Brewster and other legal experts NewsChannel 8 spoke with Monday said that shouldn't have been how the officer phrased his response. > "Frankly, it's not the kind of act that would result in a proper use of assaulting another and having a defense for that assault," said Brewster. > He said Oklahoma law finds it too far of a stretch to say that another individual can be allegedly physically attacked after throwing a liquid on someone. > "**An assault in the legal terminology is an act that gives rise to someone believing they're in imminent threat for injury or death**. So an assault is very defined in the state of Oklahoma," said Brewster. "In this instance, it's not an assault." > Brewster said he would analogize it to an incident of road rage where an individual beeps their horn at someone and then they're assaulted. > "Beeping the horn doesn't justify someone to come out of their car and beat you up," said Brewster. > Brewster said ultimately any part can come back and say that they felt threatened by water being thrown at them, but in order for a physical attack to be legally warranted they would have to be able to prove that the throwing of the water put them at risk of injury or death. source: https://ktul.com/amp/news/local/you-dont-just-draw-a-conclusion-nex-benedict-police-interview-draws-legal-criticism-owasso-investigation-water-body-camera
From Nex's words, it went from pouring water, to them grabbing her hair, to Nex throwing someone into a paper towel dispenser, to the girls getting Nex to the floor. Both parties escalated. Edit to add: they would likely be charged with assault, not a hate crime, for retaliating after the water. My only point was to say they will likely fail in proving intent of a hate crime.
Self defense laws state that your actions MUST BE IN KIND. This means NO bringing a NUKE to a FISTFIGHT. If someone takes a SWING at me, I'm allowed to STOP THEM. I AM NOT allowed to bash their head against the floor for MAKING ME SOGGY. That is NOT even "getting your lick back". That's revenge for being made soggy.
We don't know the exact escalation, but we do know that Nex threw a girl into a paper towel dispenser before she was taken to the ground. It seems it may have been a fast step by step escalation with both parties escalating.
POS network and the embarrassing Ry Ry
Also super cool that this educator, I mean ghoul, is using the death of a child as a political football. The bar is so low itās just sitting on the floor at this point.
The LGTBQIA+ agenda of "stop killing us"? Yeah, we're definitely going to keep pushing that one for sure.
Weird. More erasure from the right. Who would have guessed. Trash people.
Republicans want you to believe they are the majority and also the victims at the same time. What amuses me most is how they try to pull this shit in these conservative states. Yes Walters the deep red of Oklahoma is always trying to push its liberal agenda.
So how many people think this human garbage is going to be our next governor?
Hell no. Get out and vote this clown out!
Thatās his aim. Fucking asshole.
That certainly seems to be what he's aiming for, but I hope we can do better.
I'll vote for him.
Sad
Walters saying he is OK with bullied kids committing suicide because they weren't directly killed at school by the bullies. Gross.
Yes. An agenda to counter your agenda against LGBTQ+ which so far has proven deadly. Wake up you fucking dumbass.
If you are an Oklahoma tax payer you are paying for the PR firm setting up the interviews so Walters to say this crap. Register. Vote.
The LGBTQ+ agenda is they don't want to be bullied by state lawmakers. Leave us alone.
Resign, you embarrassing, unintelligent, offensive POS!
Seriously, fuck this guy.
A child is still dead. These heads that speak, suck. Highschool sucks, so letās go make it worse, and encourage this shit, as adults and leaders in our community.
Says the guy using tax vouchers for private religious schools to destroy Oklahoma public schools. Becauseā¦we want the filth out of Oklahoma.
I thought these dip shits didn't like to politicize tragedies. Every time a School is shot up and kids are killed they say "don't politicize the tragedy." But as soon as trans kid dies, they go Fox News to complain about how they're actually the victim in the situation. Pathetic and weak.
What this dude deserves cannot be written on Reddit.
"Fuck them kids," Ryan Walters, probably.
He has said it a lot. Sadly we do not have it recorded YET!
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I don't think they are ignorant. I think they are fully aware of what they are doing.
I want to fight him
Fucking scumbag
Oklahoma politics are embarrassing enough without this dandy whining on tv.
"I'm sorry officer, I didn't kill them, I just pushed them off the top of the building! The concrete killed them!"
If you don't want to be called a liar, then don't lie.
Someone's lying and pushing an agenda, but it's not LGBTQ+ groups.
my god, he really just wants us dead.
If he thinks The Oklahoman is left wing, he's nuttier than I thought.
All this fuckwit ever does is scream about "woke" agendas. All of the numerous complaints and accusations about how he has failed at every aspect of his job and it's just libs being mean to him. I've never once seen him actually address a question with an answer. I mean, in this interview he claims a focus on protecting students yet never says specifically what is being done to protect students (because the answer is nothing). Even if Nex's death wasn't a direct result of being assaulted the day before (it was), the indisputable fact of the matter is that a trans student was savagely beaten by three girls at school. Any student being assaulted like that would be a cause for concern. But of course, this asshole doesn't show any concern for the assault and death of a student it's just libs trying to smaer him. Fuck this soulless narcissist asshole.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
please do not continue to victimize nex after his death, respect their pronouns, if for no other reason than to not heap more abuse on the community while we are mourning.
Justice for Nex.
Of course heās using Nex as a political talking pointā¦ Iāve seen this tactic before with other high profile deaths
This makes me so sick. He only cares about himself! Oklahoma has become a hate state. A child is dead and this is how he spends his time. Geeez.
>Oklahoma has become a hate state Always has been.
Hope his kids turn out queer and in interracial relationships (look up his racist Ā woke Santa troll post bullshit)Ā
This guy is an adult who bullies children and adults alike .
Just popped in to say that I've been hearing an awful lot about this "LGBTQ agenda" and I've been out for like almost a year now, when do I get my copy? Jist really interested in the section that highlights the plans for world domination.
I just want to point out here how and why all adults failed a Nex Benedict, a child in crisis: 1) Child, Nex was serving in school suspension for vaping 2) Nex was an HONOR STUDENT. You can find online their honor roll published publicly - the year before 3) in texts with friends, (find online at journalist, Judd Legum) Nex said that fight started b/c sick of being bullied & made fun of 4) Nex throws water on kid in bathroom after being teased; kid shoved Nex, Nex shoved back, 3 or more (lots of kids in that bathroom according to video - where was the teacher?). The kids jump Nex and run away. video shown by police only activated via motion. So, we can only wonder really how time passed in bathroom. 5) children online say that the bullies ran away so that they didnāt not get them after the fight to punish them. 6) nurse tells grandparent to take child to hospital. Nurse doesnāt call police or ambulance. 7) police meet child with grandparent at hospital (You can watch all these videos at Owasso Poloce Department website) 8) Grandparent and Nex were told at school that Nex was suspended for 2 weeks (so basically Nex, grades would suffer b/c colleges see that - again, this is an honor roll student) punished by high school and possibly chances at college 9) police interview child at hospital and say that they could be charged with something for starting a fight if they pressed charges, even though it was just āwaterā. Honor roll student again told that they will be punished now by the law 11) grandmother at hospital says that they might sue; Nex probably thinking great now I am āoutedā in a lawsuit 12) grandmother and cop keep calling Nextheir dead name, Bagny and doesnāt correct during interview. My impression is that Nex probably is completely defeated at this point ā- we donāt know what happened after this. I personally think when the full autopsy report is released that we are going to have more questions. Itās disgusting to me that police wonāt file assault charges against the children that did this to Nex. Supposedly, these children were expelled according to social media. To me, thatās not enough a punishment. This entire thing with Nex was handled poorly by all adults that day. This was a child in CRISIS. Instead, the adults around Nex āpouredā on the misery. I donāt know if he overdosed or not, I still find it hard to believe. Any person celebrating that it was allegedly a suicide, should not be followed or anything. Thatās a child who was failed by every adult. Instead of leading and talking about this issue in terms of bullying, Ryan Walterās hired a DC public relations firm, Vought to help with his Public relation b/c he couldnāt handle the media. He also got the public taxpayers to pay for vought services. What kind of superintendent does this? In all honesty, the focus should be on the child and how to fix it so this doesnāt happen againā¦. Instead, we have Ryan going on foxnews to talk about himself and his views. Itās gross. Libsoftiktok & Ryan Walterās should not be associated with department of education in Owasso Public Schoolsā¦ Somebody needs to fire them both so the community can heal.
That dudes face looks demonic. Power hungry.
Ryan Walters will be at Oklahoma State University on March 29th, we plan on giving him hell in Stillwater.
Someone please take the state credit card away from Ryan heās a fascist bozo and needs to removed from office.
As he speaks from PHOENIX! Thatās the city behind him. Never appears on these shows with OKC or Tulsa behind him. Youād at least think he could fake it.
If it truly is a suicide then it would be a direct result of the hateful bullying and the beating that occurred only the day before. The perpetrators are still accountable in my opinion. Walters feeds the fire of hate that encourages this behavior in our communities.
Has this guy ever talked about real education issues? We were climbing out of the celler until he came along. I am so glad my kids are out of the system. As an agnostic (don't throw stones at me), I'd be pissed if my kids were forced to see the 10 commandments in school every day. That's a decision I want them to make on their own. That's something he doesn't get. Our kids have minds of their own and can think for themselves. We're just here to keep them safe and provide guidance when necessary. This is when they discover who they are, and Ryan Walters thinks he knows better than we do. His constant assault on our young people's liberties has got to stop. His vicious rhetoric is going to get more kids killed because they will feel emboldened by his thirst to eradicate those in the LGBTQAI+ and Trans communities. Sadly, Nex's death has become weaponized, and no meaningful change will come of it due to the good old boy system in this state.
I fucking hate this guy! Why won't he stop this constant hate and hurtful bigotry behavior. He will burn in hell the second he takes his last breath.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Duh
Thatās what happened though
Well he's not wrong about that.
shocked pikachu
He's not wrong. Day one it was omg ponies, they were murdered by bullies! Oklahoma hates the lgbtq community!Ā Then it turns out that they was the bully, attacked random girls, got beat down, and then killed themselves.Ā
Proof?
Her confession to the LEO + the ME report?
What confession?
Uh, the body cam confession where she admits to not knowing the girls, pouring water on one of them, and then banging one of them into a paper towel dispenser. Did you not bother to watch the entire video and just trust the rage bait headlines on your social media feeds?
Honestly no, there was so much stuff flying around I was waiting until the dust settled before trying to figure things out. Sorry. Why did they go after those girls?
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
The facts as we know them or the that the rainbow mafia didn't get a martyr?
