Local update on the death of Owasso,OK Nex Benedict

OPD UPDATE:

Since February 7th, 2024, the Owasso Police Department has been actively involved in an investigation into a physical altercation that occurred at the Owasso High School, and Owasso Public Schools has been cooperative throughout the investigation. The students involved in the incident were all juveniles and juvenile files are confidential and inaccessible to the public in most circumstances. From reports, records, and statements of witnesses, it appears that:

On February 7, 2024, a physical altercation occurred in a restroom at the Owasso High School West Campus.
The physical altercation was broken up by other students who were present in the restroom and a school staff member who was supervising outside of the restroom.
All students involved in the altercation walked under their own power to the assistant principal’s office and nurse’s office.
School administrators began taking statements from the students present in the restroom and began contacting parents/guardians of the students involved in the physical altercation.
Each of the students involved in the altercation was given a health assessment by a registered nurse at the school and it was determined that ambulance service was not required.
While it was determined that ambulance service was not required, the school nurse recommended that Nex Benedict visit a medical facility for further examination.
On the afternoon of February 7, 2024, an Owasso School Resource Officer was assigned to respond to Bailey Medical Center where Nex Benedict was being examined. The School Resource Officer interviewed Nex and their parent concerning the altercation at the Owasso High School.
The following morning, the School Resource Officer followed up with the parent.
On the afternoon of February 8, 2024, Owasso Fire Department medics were dispatched to a medical emergency involving Nex Benedict, who was transported to the St. Francis Pediatric Emergency Room where they later died.
While the investigation continues into the altercation. preliminary information from the medical examiner’s office is that a complete autopsy was performed and indicated that the decedent 𝐝𝐢𝐝 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐝𝐢𝐞 𝐚𝐬 𝐚 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐮𝐥𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐮𝐦𝐚. At this time, any further comments on the cause of death are currently pending until toxicology results and other ancillary testing results are received.

Can Congress authorize an emergency increase in SS?

I live off my VA disability and Social Security and even with the 5.9% increase in January I am struggling. Is it possible to not wait until next January to increase our monthly payment to offset inflation? I think something like this would definitely help with poll numbers and it’s the right thing to do for so many. Without the VA I would be trying to make due with $1400 a month and that is frightening knowing so many don’t have a second source.

I am really upset with the prosecutor in KR's trial

I’m a victim of domestic violence from my ex wife and it went on for years. We divorced over 10 years ago and I was immediately transported back watching closing statements. “Everyone takes a beating sometimes” if any jurors have experience with DV it probably sounded the same to them. This also makes the case for the defense that KR according to the prosecutor was about to take a beating.

What Americans never understood or were never told about Afghanistan

I once upon a time was a member of the IC long since removed. I assist veterans like myself in navigating the VA for benefits many from Afghanistan.
The lie that has been and is still being told is there is a difference between the Taliban, ISIS and Al Queda. To put it in perspective that’s like saying there is a difference between the Proud Boys, KKK and 3%ers. The goals by all of them is the same to establish a Caliphate.

When we pushed the active fighters to Pakistan we see lines on a map and thought we were accomplishing something. We see distinctions between the groups that fundamentally don’t exist. We trained and gave arms to men that had/have no problem deceiving those that were intentionally ignorant about allegiances. The Afghan Army was always a paper army as long as we kept paying them. Were there some that had our interests in mind sure but never the majority and those tended to die in the fighting.

The Taliban and AQ/ISIS never really left they just changed uniform to appease us and wait knowing we would eventually leave. Our leaders never understood who they were dealing with. The reason everything seemed to fall so fast was it was never real in the first place. Once we “left” and stopped paying a huge chunk of the army just switched back into their old uniform now armed with all the guns and equipment we trained them with.

Afghanistan wasn’t lost it was never real to begin with and once you understand that everything else makes sense.

Veterans finally get a payment date for stimulus

The IRS has announced Wednesday April 14th. They will begin process on Friday April 9th so a chance it will show up this weekend. I have been so stressed about this and need it many of my fellow veterans will use this to try to get housing. We are required to have some form of direct deposit so it makes no sense we are last.
