Libs of TikTok targeted a district, then a non-binary student was killed on campus

[j brown's body]

According to the Max Planck Institute for the Study of Crime, Security, and Law: “stochastic terrorism involves ‘the use of mass media to provoke random acts of ideologically motivated violence that are statistically predictable but individually unpredictable.’” Self-described stochastic terrorist and January 6th Capitol rioter Chaya Raichik, owner of the social media account Libs of TikTok, has become infamous for her viral harassment and moral panic campaigns targeting minorities— with an emphasis on vilifying LGBTQ+ existence. Since 2021, Raichik’s posts targeting advocates for and members of the LGBTQ+ community have been followed with a deluge of violent death threats (including lynching threats against the Los Angeles Unified School District).

...Nowhere has Raichik’s influence been more visible than Oklahoma, where her anti-LGBTQ+ exploits earned her an official position on the Oklahoma Department of Education’s Library Media Advisory Committee by controversial far-right Superintendent Ryan Walters. ...It’s been confirmed that Raichik’s posts have fueled multiple bomb threats against schools specifically in Oklahoma.

Officials from Oklahoma told NBC News that they believe Chaya Raichik’s anti-LGBTQ+ culture warring “sparked threats in their localities with her posts on social media that digitally heckle people such as drag performers, LGBTQ teachers and doctors who treat transgender patients.”

This month, a non-binary 16-year-old student at Owasso High School was brutally murdered in the girl’s restroom. According to local news outlets and family, Nex Benedict was beaten by three older female students. The mother of Benedict’s best friend told KJRH News that "one of the girls was pretty much repeatedly beating [Benedict’s] head across the floor.” Reports say Benedict was unable to take themselves to the nurse’s office after a teacher finally intervened in the brutal assault. For reasons that remain unclear, Owasso High School refused to call an ambulance for 16-year-old Nex Benedict, who died from their injuries in the hospital the next day. A motive for this killing has not been shared by law enforcement, but we know that schools in Oklahoma have been specifically pushing violent eliminationist rhetoric against transgender and non-binary youth— a fact exemplified by the state’s hiring of Chaya Raichik following her incitements of terror against the state’s schools over LGBTQ+ rights.

Chaya Raichik is a horrible, scummy human, as are all those who do what she wants.

Bigots will do bigoty stuff and they get away with it in conservative states.

Nobody ever said the non-binary student attacked anyone before the beating. The state only acted after the NB student died,.. before they died, they were suspended.

A few weeks ago, on 7 February, the bullying allegedly erupted in violence when Nex suffered severe head injuries during a “physical altercation” at Owasso High School, according to the Owasso Police Department.

Sue Benedict told The Independent she was called to the school that day to find Nex badly beaten with bruises over their face and eyes, and with scratches on the back of their head.

Nex told her that they and another transgender student at Owasso High School had been in a fight with three older girls in a girls bathroom. Nex was knocked to the ground during the fight and hit their head on the floor, according to their mother.
Ms Benedict said she was furious that the school had failed to call an ambulance or the police. She said the school then informed her Nex was being suspended for two weeks.

She took Nex to the Bailey Medical Center in Owasso for treatment. They spoke to a police school resource officer at the medical facility and were discharged.

That night, Nex went to bed with a sore head and eventually fell asleep while listening to music, Ms Benedict said.

On 8 February, Nex was getting ready to go to Tulsa with Ms Benedict for an appointment when they collapsed in the family living room.

Ms Benedict called an ambulance, and EMT officers arrived to find Nex had stopped breathing. Nex was declared dead that evening in hospital.

In a statement, the Owasso Police Department said they were “conducting a very active and thorough investigation of the time and events that led up to the death of the student”.

Owasso PD spokesperson Nick Boatman told The Independent that police were awaiting the results of toxicology and autopsy reports from the Oklahoma Medical Examiner’s Office before determining whether anyone will be charged.

Oklahoma banned trans students from bathrooms. Now a bullied student is dead

Nex Benedict died one day after a fight in a school bathroom. Their mother Sue Benedict tells Bevan Hurley that the gender fluid teenager endured more than a year of abuse simply for being who they were

This is a horrible story but I'm a little confused by this part:

Three older girls were beating on the victim and her daughter in the girl’s bathroom.

The victim was Nex, I think, but who is "her daughter"?

Things come to mind, regarding revenge. Those actions of those young women reduce us all.

1. I had to goggle that Raichik character.

2. Obviously, she has some unresolved personal issues.

3. It is, however, irritating (and just plain silly) to say something like "They [she] were taken to the hospital where they [the hospital staff] treated them [her]."

a. Binary people should respect non-binary people, but non-binary people should also respect binary people. Stop this "they" nonsense. Most people already have enough problems trying to speak proper English.

3. It is, however, irritating (and just plain silly) to say something like "They [she] were taken to the hospital where they [the hospital staff] treated them [her]."

What about something like "She was taken to the school nurse where she treated her" or "The victims were taken to the hospital where they treated them" (or "Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo" )?

It isn't as clear a sentence as it could have been, but that isn't the fault of non-binary pronouns, it's the fault of the English language (apologies from England) and the lack of copy editors in modern news media. Regardless, context is commonly a key factor in determining meaning of any writing and in context, the meaning of that sentence is fairly clear (after all, you demonstrated your understanding of it).

They likely made a mistake in the language of the article. It is possible that the mother/grandmother (she's technically both) slipped up in the interview, and they just repeated that slip up or it could be that the writer simply made the mistake. "Child" or "teen" would have been more appropriate, being gender neutral terms.

Somehow, bullying people because of who they are and their differences has become an acceptable thing again.

LGBT individuals, individuals with disabilities,
old people.

The “righties” espouse this all day, every day.

Just look at DP.

You’ll see Biden mocked for his speech impediment, or his age. You’ve seen Fetterman mocked for the impacts of the stroke he suffered, and you see LGBT individuals mocked and bullied every single day.

The adults who consume toxic media that encourages bullying are raising children that are seeing these things and espousing the same values.

It’s horrifying.

It is not okay to beat someone's head into the floor, ever and it was at least 3 on 1 or 2, which is still dangerous. There's huge chance the girls who were harassing and bullying them for being transgender started it.

But beyond that, the school should have called an ambulance right there, as there was blood from their head. Then the school blamed them, likely based off of the 3 girls claiming she started it without evidence.

BIB. A motive for this killing has not been shared by law enforcement. We don't know the reason behind this fight, maybe it was because they were LGBQ, maybe it isn't. We also don't know who started it. I'd be shocked if a school suspended someone who was beaten up based on the words of the person who beat them up. The fact Nex was suspended raises enough doubt about who started the fight for me to hold off speculating because it makes no sense they would suspend the person who didn't start the fight.

We don't know how the head injury occurred, I've read two different descriptions and I don't know which one is accurate:

"Nex was knocked to the ground during the fight and hit their head on the floor, according to their mother." This description sounds like an accident.
"one of the girls was pretty much repeatedly beating [Benedict’s] head across the floor.” This sounds like something more criminal.

Schools play favorites all the time. It could also be that they simply suspended everyone and don't tell the other parents about such actions (that is normal, even though it is also stupid as it makes parents believe or simply not aware of whether their children are being singled out). Schools also will simply go with a "zero tolerance" policy and act as if everyone is equally as responsible.

I was blamed, lectured for the girl who hit me in the back of the head getting off the school bus, with the school VP stating that there was no way she'd have just did that unprovoked. She did though. She claimed I was calling her names in the cafeteria.

There were two transgender students in the fight. Hitting their head on the floor is different and much less likely to be the cause of death than having their head beat into the floor. Both can happen.

From your link: A motive for this killing has not been shared by law enforcement.

She died likely because of a severe head injury that was sustained in the attack in the bathroom. The fact that the school was negligent in getting her to the hospital and instead punished her for being a victim by suspending her, despite the transphobic attack. She was born biologically female, despite her nonbinary gender identity, so she was in the correct bathroom, but she choose to defend her transgender friends when they were jumped by cisgender girls.

A police investigation is underway after a 16-year-old Owasso High School student died earlier this month after sustaining injuries in an altercation on school grounds. The teen’s official cause of death has not yet been disclosed by the state medical examiner.


The news of the high school sophomore's death has generated widespread attention, in part because of claims that school employees failed to immediately act after the fight.

Nex was misgendered by the cops,

According to the Owasso Police Department, officers were called to Bailey Medical Center at 3:30 p.m. on Feb. 7 by the parent of a 16-year-old female student from Owasso High School.

God you're just like the Bible beaters back in the 2000s blaming violence on video games you're just blaming it on social media.

If someone commits murder they're responsible for it not some social media person not some video game not some violent TV show.

Nonbinary is considered part of transgender. The non-binary student is the one who actually died. They were both viewed as outside the norm, and seems that both students were being bullied for that, their gender identity.

The word of the day is stochastic terrorism. Chaiya Raichek set the plan in motion by pointing a finger, making claims and painting a target on them. She is as guilty as they are.

Stochastic terrorism refers to political or media figures publicly demonizing a person or group in such a way that it inspires supporters of the figures to commit a violent act against the target of the speech. Unlike incitement to terrorism, this is accomplished by using indirect, vague, or coded language that allows the instigator to plausibly disclaim responsibility for the resulting violence. Global trends point to increasing violent rhetoric and political violence, including more evidence of stochastic terrorism.
