A friend can help you move. A good friend can help you move the body.
Or blow it up, as he case may be. Still, with the arrows, I am reminded of the episode of Hogan’s Heroes where they were trying to kill a traitor, and Carter comes up with “pygmy blow pipe!” Carter would have gone along with arrows, especially since he was part Native American. 
I mistakenly got the impression from this discussion that Nex died of his injuries; this is false:
A summary autopsy report shows 16-year-old Nex Benedict, who used they/them pronouns, had toxic levels of two drugs in their system and died of an overdose.
A complete autopsy will be released in 10 days in accordance with state law, the medical examiner’s office said.
Thank you for that report.
Even if, as I strongly suspect, Mx. Benedict was a very dangerous person, they had two strikes against them from birth, and didn’t deserve this. RIP.
Dangerous? To whom exactly other than themselves?
“their injuries”
A mother mixed up a drink for a kid who had been bullying her son. The bully got sent to the hospital. Intentionally sickening a child? What kind of lesson is she teaching her son (other than the wonders of chemistry)?
I’m not condoning that sort of thing, but I totally understand it and would not consider it “evil” as such. More “very poorly considered”.
Yeah, I can see that. This one’s more evil. Eviler?
My reaction as well. When I read the ingredients, I assumed she thought it would be a “let’s see how much he likes this nasty-tasting but harmless concoction” lesson for the dickhead kid. If you had asked me if such a drink would send a kid to the hospital, I’d have said no. (To be clear, I wouldn’t recommend it!)
So, yeah, ill-considered. But I guess I’m a jerk because I’m not terribly sorry the bully had a shitty day if, in fact, there are no lingering problems.
Oh yes, I’m sure the bully did have that sort of day.
I’d be concerned about how much salt was ingested.
If the drink was salty enough for that to be an issue (even for someone with extreme salt sensitivity (assuming that is a thing)), the bully probably couldn’t have ingested much.
True, but salt is far more toxic to small children than to adults.
Using data from 2 children, Campbell et al. [9] estimated that the lethal dose of salt ingestion in children was less than 5 teaspoons.
We’ve been discussing this extensively on a true-crime board. Naturally, our spidey-senses were aimed at her husband, but it looks like he had absolutely nothing to do with it.
Considering that I haven’t heard any “They lit up a room with their presence” kind of comments from their classmates, I really hate to say this, but I suspect a lot of people are not sorry they’re gone.
That’s a big jump from “dangerous.”
I’ll tell you what’s messed up about this story. When did we become a namby-pamby society where kids don’t have to poison their own bullies? “Oh, don’t worry, snowflake, Mommy’ll get revenge for you, and maybe even go to court instead of you…”
C’mon, dweebs, toughen up and plan a really clever revenge!
And if you’re smart enough, no one will know it wasn’t an accident… and that’s a real-world education that’s worth more than K-12!

Reading the article, it says the bullied kid gave the drink to the bully. Would there have been charges if he hadn’t given it to him but instead waited to see if the bully demanded it?
“Sports drinks” can have a lot of sodium (and potassium) in them already, and are designed to have enough sweetener in them to hide the saltiness. Adding enough salt to one could raise the amount of salts to dangerous levels.
