An autopsy report released by the Oklahoma’s Office of the Chief Medical Examiner determined that Nex Benedict, a member of the 2SLGBTQ community, died by suicide.
Apparently Nex started the fight by pouring water on them. Hard to believe that someone might lash out that way if there wasn’t a history of bullying though.
“Apparently” is doing a lot of work here. This is the story the group of teens that beat Nex gave the police. There’s absolutely zero legal precident for using violence to defend yourself from having water poured on you anyway, so I don’t see how it’s relevant to decide who “started the fight”.

Did you listen to Nex’s recorded statement? Nex volunteered the idea that they poured water and initiated the confrontation because the others were possibly “laughing at them”.
Nex is also on camera filling up the bottle and going into the bathroom to confront the group.
Does that mean Nex deserved to be beaten by a group of people? No and they should be investigated. But stop making up facts to suit your narrative or ignoring information that contradicts what you hoped happened.
Is that how it started? I’m guessing Nex didn’t pour water on them unprovoked. That doesn’t sound like the sort of thing a bullied nonbinary student would do.
Speaking as someone who was severely bullied, I knew to a certainty that I would get my ass kicked no matter what I did, so fighting back had no real downsides.
Of course, it also didn’t work, any more than it did for Nex. Exactly like with Nex, ambushing did not win the fight for me, because it’s just an urban legend that all bullies are cowards who will flee if you fight back.
Nex provided a recorded audio and video statement, I’m confused on how so many people are interested in the story but won’t listen to the firsthand accounts.

Yes it does. Haven’t you ever been bullied before? Lashing out is 100% expected behaviour, and highly recommended by Sun Tzu.
I was severely bullied. That’s why I never started anything that would risk me getting my ass kicked.
