News isn't reporting the whole story. From what I've read, it was a 3 on 3 in the bathroom, I wonder if this story would've gotten as much attention if it had been one of the straight girls that died… Probably not. You're only important if you're one of the protected classes, everyone else can die anonymously.
Considering the number of dislikes vs likes on this story, I'm probably not wrong in disliking how NBC isn't reporting everything.
Someone is going to get sued for millions.Show me the money.
What a load of manure theres two genders and bullying has been going on since man began get the autopsy then whine
Pretty sick to use a young person's death to push an agenda. Autopsy showed that they didn't pass away from trama. And they just released the body cam footage of the hospital visit, where Nex is speaking clearly and was given a clean bill of health. So the literal grades school shoving match that media and social media reported as some horrific beating, was false, and had no part in this loss.
Cops are lying if they wont give us justice then we get it ourselves!
5 minutes for a non binary death , is there is anything else nbc can cover?
If a cop's lips are moving they're lying!! I don't believe any statement cops put out!!
Nex started the fight by throwing water on them. Who knows if it was because of nonbinary???
When a black chick with glasses shows up, you know your going to get a bs woke lecture. Time to stop the video. 🙄
🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱
Lol
Anyone with MEDICAL KNOWLEDGE knows a head injury can lead to DEATH if not treated properly.
This BS that Nex took their own life is ONLY an ATTEMPT to DOWNPLAY a the tragic event that took place on school property and NOBODY did what they were BY LAW supposed to do.
The police were not called and the school NURSE is required to call EMT in the event of any type of TRAUMA regarding ones body.
Smashing ones head against concrete can cause a concussions, brain bleed or BOTH. The school FAILED to PROTECT.
The hospital I'm gonna ASSUME did not run the proper test to make sure Nex was 100% ok to be released. They should have kept them overnight. BOTTOM LINE this poor kid was FAILED on EVERY level.
What if that was your child? Regardless of PRONOUNS Nex was still a HUMAN BEING.
The HATE in some of these comments is so telling of how regressive our society truly is… At this point idc what you believe at LEAST have to common decency to recognize this kid was ONLY 16yrs old they did not deserve to DIE.
trans rights are hum-ACK!
Wow youtube comments have gotten really bigoted. Almost like these are bots made to spam right-wing propaganda about this innocent child.
RIP Nex you didn't deserve the hate.
stop watering it down! this was not just bullying, this was a HATE CRIME
No one even know for a fact what the fight was about. She started the fight by throwing water on another girl. Let's calm down with all the Lgtbq stuff until we know. You are exasperating things by airing false narratives. So sad
This girl killed herself over an overdose nobody is at fualt besides this mentality unstable girl.
She admitted on videoto the officer that she assaulted the others first. Blowing it up and not having all the information just to fit your biased news trying to make one segment the victim all the time. I'm waiting for toxicology tests.
Sounds like a cover up.
Only 2 sexes
Attention seeking behavior by the whole family
Like Kermit the frog sang, One of these things just doesn't belong here!
Bully is back!!❤❤❤
Besides an Outcast what do you wanna be in life?
