describing their death as them dying "one day after getting into a physical fight with several other students at Owasso High School" without any further mention of it, when that fight was them being ganged up on after a year of harassment and resulted in nex blacking out partway through the fight is journalistic malpractice

GREAT FUCKING JOB ON THAT KIARA

What do you bet one of those kids has a cop parent?

This is why I footstomp getting armed and putting in range time. There'll come a day, probably very soon, where it'll be better to have and not need, rather than need and not have.

It's gotta be a cop's kid this all tracks back to origin with; either that, or some flaccid Republican politico's kid. They wouldn't be playing the BLATANT lie card otherwise.

Yeah, the "positive spin" on this story is literally that Nex was so fucking traumatized and terrified that he thought of escape through death was preferable to going back to school. It's just so bleak how suicide is looked down upon as this weak thing that weak people do, instead of turning around and thinking about how evil your fucking society is that people think that merely existing in that society it is a fate worse than death.

they got beaten until they blacked out the day before this, after which they were suspended for 2 weeks and no one at the school called any medical professionals, and yet all these news orgs say about it is "they got into a fight"

evil, evil shit.

Are you kidding? Liberals are incredibly accepting.

Accepting of murder, accepting of genocide, accepting of bigotry, accepting of fascism, accepting of any bad thing that happens to other people. Liberals love to accept any and all forms of injustice, their only limit to acceptance is any existence in opposition to or resistance whatsoever to that injustice.

You're not gonna believe this chief. The fella broke in and hung up pictures of himself and his family. Real sick shit.

rest in power, Nex.

Tangentially related, but I've been seeing some liberals scolding people for using phrases like "Rest in power" or "say their name" when referring to Nex, because Apparently those terms are reserved for black people?

It just feels deeply tone deaf and inappropriate to me, to see liberals look at the death of a trans, indigenous, child, and choose to police people's words and grief, rather than contend with the tragedy unfolding in front of them.

This is extremely fishy, as someone who knows a lot about drugs. The two don't really overlap much, although Seratonin Syndrome is possible from the combo at high doses. But if it were seratonin syndrome, all it would take to have saved them was a some benzos and wouldn't have been life threatening unless left untreated for a very long time. I know how to kill myself with anti-depressants and was able to save myself without even telling the doctors the truth of what I did because I didn't want to be institutionalized. And that was 2 days after I had taken all the shit, and like I said I know how to actually make SSRIs deadly. Still had 2 days before it got really bad.

from a trusted comrade I know IRL who I know has taken both for sleep:

the mixture of diphenhydramine and fluoxetine does not produce toxicity on its own, you can technically overdose on diphenhydramine but you have to take an incomprehensible amount and you will show extreme signs of slowdown before any loss of conciousness

yeah I don't believe this shit for a second. Those cops are lying.

Just looking up those two drugs and how much it takes to kill you, once you get past the suicide hot lines you get an article from Drugs.com "Using diphenhydrAMINE together with FLUoxetine may increase side effects such as dizziness, drowsiness, confusion, and difficulty concentrating."

I still believe Nex got some sort of brain bleed, and although I might believe that these drugs might have perhaps thinned already damaged blood vessel in the brain, I think an examine from someone who is not looking to rule the death a suicide is going to be the only thing that will reveal the truth. Most Medical Examiners are Cops too, and sometimes their job is make cops jobs easier, by making possible murders disappear. (Why the Fuck they releasing this news on a Wednesday at like 8pm?)

So yeah, I'm going to wait for the family's independent autopsy, but I have an ready for their autopsy to reveal lots of tampering that makes it hard to find evidence of anything else.
