The school didn’t call an ambulance after the student was beaten by three others, and then when they did go to the hospital they were released and died at home shortly after. There’s a lot of blame to go around here, but I don’t think that a Twitter account or a state bureaucrat are anywhere near the top of the list.
Stochastic terrorism, a great way to skirt responsibility.
You don’t think the #1 social media account promoting the anti-trans moral panic (usually using selectively edited videos) is in any way responsible for violence at the school she targeted days before? She posted a video of a teacher at the school who said they support LGBTQ+ students. The teacher and school were harassed until he resigned. And then a trans student was murdered.
This seems like one of the more obvious examples of stochastic terrorism. Libs of TikTok posts have prompted threats of violence dozens of times before. That trash ass fascist hag knows exactly what she’s doing.
Which holds more blame: the hand that held the whip, or the heart that commanded it to strike?
Inciting a moral panic caused this. He should be at least as liable as the attackers.
