THE TRAGIC MURDER OF KEDARIE JOHNSON

Smh 🤦🙄

I can only dream of my family being as amazing as theirs. I’m transmasc, asexual and queer romantic and live in a home where lbgtq folk are greeted with guns..

I hate the word homophobic so much. I wish there was another word that emphasizes the level of prejudice rather than calling it a “phobia”
These people are not scared. They are bigots.

i think this is the first case i cried for

This case is from my home town!!! Seeing this brings me to tears, it was so emotional for the entire town when he was murdered and I wanna thank you for covering this case and not letting people forget

As a straight women I will never understand how bad it is for the LGBTQ+ community but I have so much empathy and will always stand by the rainbow flag x

I know this is an old af video and you’re not going to see this comment but…
I’m crying at work watching you be so educated and respectful about gender identity and doing such a good job explaining to people who might be less aware ❤ this is why I binge watch your videos every day. Love you, Elenor ❤️

THIS is why we need LGBTQI+ Pride! I'm sharing this with every person who's asked why straight Pride isn't needed.

im a gay trans man and this was a perfect representation of diffrent gender identities and explaining sexuality rip kedarie

I feel so bad for him... he seemed like such a good person

Wow she’s lost sooo much weight!! She used to be so fat! That is awesome!!

It is sad it some people just slay❤

Something that elenor said is incorrect, although she's right not all genderfluid people are trans, some are. And non-binary is an umbrella term it includes any person that is not always male or female. Some people identify as non-binary with a more specific label. I'm genderfluid in count myself as non-binary as well:)

I really apprcieate the sexism talk it rally helped me with my children. Thank you.

I really don't think homophobia is a phobia; you're not scared, you're just stupidly stubborn to not understand that there are different types of people and the world doesn't revolve around your opinion.

I'm not into the whole LGBTQ stuff like I personally am confused by it all, however if you want to be yourself good on you, no one deserves to be killed for it, unless that persons into the whole disgusting Map thing 🤮

I’m only about 17 minutes in but as a gender fluid person that’s the best way to describe it. I’ve heard from a non-gender fluid person. I’m kind of not looking forward to the rest of the case because of how nice everything sounds so far but of course this is a Great chello so I’m gonna keep watching.

90 minutes in I also have a Gabe

This case is really effing horrific like I’m all I’m not even that far much further in and someone’s tortured and murdered a 16 year old child.

Came from a meme

What a wonderful family, i hope I will be as good a mum as her someday

Thank you for trying to being so correct in your info :> it’s greatly appreciated from me and many people!!
Although one thing I may point out is that non-binary people are also transgender! If you aren’t presenting your gender as the one assigned at birth then you’re transgender🎉

Feminine and masculine are the right terms to use (at least in my opinion? Case?) because normally we're never really feeling (in my own case and maybe some others) one certain gender enough to label ourselves as them. When im feeling more feminine ill present myself differently in the way I walk the way I talk and my attitude may also be a bit different the same things change when I'm feeling more masculine but I never really feel like a boy or girl? Just more feminine or masculine.

Also it does really hurt to know every day people within the lgbtq community still have to fight for their acceptance. I still have to stick up for myself when being bullied just for being me, and it makes it so much worse to know many others have to do the same. For those who happen to be a bit fruity like me please stay safe and remember no matter what you present as or what gender you love you are loved and you don't deserve any abuse you are put through for just being you.

NEW CHALLENGES EVERYDAY

I love how he would say “I’m Kedarie” 😊

I don’t understand why the marks on the pavement haven’t been covered up or maybe turned into a memorial with a small portion of the money made from the documentaries…I can’t imagine being the mom or sibling and having such a harsh reminder of how my sweet boy was taken away from me. This world wasn’t good enough for such an incredibly beautiful human…RIP Kedarie you will forever be loved, even by those of us who never had the chance to meet such a beautiful soul ❤❤❤ xoxox

As someone who has always lived very close to Burlington and has 2 brothers and 2 nephews living there I could never imagine this could happen: I’m so sorry for their loss

Rest in peace, Kedarie. You didn't get to live your life to the fullest like you should've. Taken too soon for foolish reasons. ❤

Thank you for the lesson , I’m 15 and didn’t know about gender fluid . So thank you for the lesson .

Hopefully this helps to break down some of the brainwashing done by the flaming racist Democrat Party & their Globalist cohorts.. the child was beaten & bullied in the massively liberal, predominately black American Chicago.. yet he was welcomed, embraced & treated with love & respect in a small, predominately white, conservative town.

Omfg I didn’t come here to learn about gender terms bro just tell the story

I had tears in my eyes and I’m not a person to cry easily. This boy was such a lovely person, so brave to be true himself, so many people liked him. And only 16, this is just a beginning of life 😢😢😢 why hating so much people who are different and want to live their life … I’ll never be able to understand hate crimes(

I tried to message you via insta but Please can I send you some free homemade adorable dinosaur resin keyrings if you wouldn’t mind mentioning them online?

Can someone explain the difference between this and multiple personality disorder

this case is truly heartbreaking. i will never understand how someone just being theirself can effect someone else. kedarie sounds like a beautiful soul and i really do hope he is now at peace

I try to watch these videos but end up clicking off and looking after myself every darn time

you can just tell how much his death affected the community and how loved he was, even during his funeral. which is so sad yet so beautiful, i bet he was a great person to be around! 🤍

Wow! This one made me cry😢

I’m from Burlington, and we all loved Kedarie so much! I also want to add, I can’t get enough of your accent when you say “Burlington” ❤️🕯🌹🕊

Nah how greedy you need to be to insert a paid sponsorship to a vid about someones murder

This is not at all related to the video but for the past few times I’ve watched one of Eleanor’s video I’ve got an Elf advert that’s made to look like a true crime documentary. Brilliant marketing there

Eleanor you shouldn't be surprised. This is the inner cities of america with hoodlums almost everywhere and everywhere is a mess and the houses are to. Where the drug dealers and low class stay and somewhat the middle class to. Who was raised to be hard and manly and masculine and sag their and be hoodlums. You think the far right and right is homophobic, try being a gay man in the inner cities where the bloods and chips and latin kings. They love seeing lesbians, but gay men is a big no no no in the hood.

Imagine telling lies like that about one's sibling- Kedari should absolutely told the truth about Cedric. I had a sister who told lies about me, who got away with them and frankly I don't believe that Cedric supported his brother. It's more likely that the mother believed and spoilt Kedari which ruined his character by not encouraging him to take responsibility fir his bad behaviour.

I have no issues with what people's sexuality is but if someone has a penis, he is a male and therefore is a he, whatever he does or says. My problem is how they expect the rest of the population to give them different pronouns. Just as their behaviour is not my business, what I choose to refer to them is mine and not open to criticism. Having said this, I would never treat anyone with disrespect, which calling a biological male he is not.

Imagine someone objecting to have things thrown at them in class. It sounds as if Kedari was also a bully and an instigator of trouble. People don't get suspended for small infringements.

there's many layers of bigotry to this crime. the state of his clothing is obvious transphobia, the revealing of both his genitalia and his bra is incredibly telling. there's the homophobia, kedarie was out loud and proud, it'd be absurd for anyone to not know. and then there's the bleach. that's not just a way to rid something of dna, it's a racist dogwhistle.
the person who did this is fucking vile. kedarie didn't deserve this. nobody fucking deserves this.

The way I hurt when you said there was a bag on his head

I hate to admit this but I’ve struggled understanding and accepting people in the LGBTQ community for a while. I’ve never said anything about it but I’ve always had a judgement towards people in the community. This video made me cry. I’ve watch %95 of Elenor’s videos and maybe others and I don’t think I’ve had this sort of reaction. I will do better. May kedarie and his family rest easy and live good lives.

I dont remember hearing about this case, now Im even more ashamed to live in this shithole that is Iowa. Its not the welcoming place I remember it being from when I grew up, and I wont lie - its scary being a gay trans man in this state.

This case actually made me cry! I've watched so many of these and they do genuinely make me sad but this one got to me as a genderfluid, panromantic individual! Kedarie/Kandace was so loved and it hurts knowing his/her life was cut short! The turnout for his/hers funeral and everyone in the school feeling Kedarie's/Kandace's lose really got me! May he/she rest in peace and rest in power! He/She was and still is loved and missed! 💚
