hey welcome back and in today's video we're gonna be talking about a micro
influencer by the name of the bianca Devins in the tragic circumstances
surrounding that and it raises some issues to do with internet culture that
we're gonna talk about but I want to give you a trigger warning
it does include talk of self-harm if you're unfamiliar with who Bianca
Devins is Bianca Devins was a 17 year old girl who had just graduated high
school in June she was very excited to attend
her local community college where she was going to major in psychology this
fall she was known online as a popular e girl for those of you unfamiliar with
what an e girl is indeed Rosa uses social platforms like tic toc Instagram
Tumblr to post about anime videogames and emo a day sent fashion she also had
an Instagram and at the time of the incident she had almost 7,000 followers
and due to massive outpouring of support for her and her family it is now over a
hundred and fifty-two thousand followers and I'm gonna put the link to her
account in the description below I want to go ahead and say be careful of fake
accounts this seems like for whatever reason there's a lot of this going
around a lot of people trying to profit off of the tragedy surrounding what has
happened to understand what happen when you talk about the person responsible
now we're not going to say his name or reveal his identity as I don't want to
put any clarification to the crime I don't want to encourage copycats
I don't I want to send the message that this type of behavior will not put a
spot in history for you but rather will make you be forgotten and I believe by
not identifying the perpetrators that are responsible for these heinous and
monstrous crimes we can build towards making social media a little bit safer
for people that would want to exploit the this in such a tremendous and tragic
way now the person responsible had an Instagram as well with just two thousand
eight hundred and thirty nine followers very insignificant low amount and I do
believe that the crime was to initiate attention towards building his online
following Instagram did take action to delete and remove his profile
horrible things took place now they met on Instagram and use Instagram as the
primary form of communication they had met a few times in person and knew each
other's families now it was on Saturday July 13th at approximately 7:30 p.m.
that the couple met at a Nicole daliang ganger concert sorry if I mispronounced
that and where an argument ensued now investigators alleged that Bianca had
kissed another boy at the concert upsetting the suspect then they left
sometime during the early morning hours of Sunday July 14 2019 the two arrive
back in Utica and proceeded to a random street no one knows why they turned down
the street but it was called post street the investigations revealed that the
argument progressed until the male produced a large black handled knife and
used this to inflict the injuries that caused her passing now during the time
after the death is believed that he took pictures and distributed those on the
discord social media platform and 4chan as well as Instagram in a statement to
Rolling Stone Instagram initially said it has taken steps to prevent others
from reuploading the content posted to that account to instagram by utilizing
technology to flag the images in advance of others sharing them the melon
question called 9-1-1 himself and made incriminating statements with respect to
the homicide he was also alluding to the fact that he
was going to harm himself after determining that the calls were
originating from post street in city of Utica officers were dispatched to that
location they located a black SUV with a male laying on the ground beside it the
officers approached the smell and almost immediately he began to stab himself in
the neck with a knife the officer requested emergency medical
care and the Utica Fire Department arrived as soon after
now after attempting to harm himself he then laid down across a green tarp
officers immediately noticed brown hair protruding from the tarp as he took out
his phone and proceeded to take selfies other officers arrived within moments
and together they engaged the male they were able to disarm the male and after a
brief struggle they took him into custody
he was then transported to the hospital where he underwent emergency surgery his
injuries were very severe but he did survive the actions of this
despicable human being were monstrous but what disturbs me is what happened
after when these photographs started going
around people were using them for Klout using them to gain attention subscribers
followers on their various social media platforms using a young girl's passing
as a form of gain and I seen this a lot people were sharing these photos to me
to other people even Nicole dahling anger had to make a tweet saying rip
Bianca what happened to this beautiful angel was evil cruel and senseless I am
so heartbroken for her and all her loved ones while I know some of you are very
well intentioned I asked that you please stop sharing the horrific content her
murderer distributed please stop sending them to me my deepest condolences to
Bianca's family and friends now if you are not and if you hit me keeping up
Nicole is the singer at the concert that Bianca and the suspect attended as you
can see there were people saying I got the video on my story it's gruesome just
follow me to see it and repetitively doing this type of stuff I even seen one
where they had a copycat of her Instagram and when I was looking for her
Instagram and this account had already garnered around 30,000 followers and
then when I went to the link that it provided it was just a soundcloud rapper
trying to promote his music and this is it's disgusting this type of behavior I
think it points to a deep-rooted issue that needs more attention to it but let
me know what you guys think in the comments section below now the county
district attorney Scott said the prosecuting office will most likely
treat this as a case of extreme emotional disturbance they're saying
that the suspect did not plan the killing however as we will see I feel
like it this was definitely premeditated but they're wanting to try to do this
because he was charged formally with second-degree murder
if it is seen as this extreme emotional disturbance because they're saying that
Bianca went and kissed another person at the concert they can drop the
second-degree murder charge down to manslaughter first degree but I want to
show you something while they were on the drive back home he was posting
things on his Instagram account one being this is your life in this
ending woman at a time it's a clip from Fight Club now I do want to go ahead and
say that this is intended to be a motivational sentence to saying that
death can happen at any time so you need to do what you feel like you need to do
for life for progress to do your dreams for him to use it as a way to taunt his
victim on the way to where he he finally writ laid her to rest is it makes me
sick to my stomach the next post he said here comes hell it's Redemption time
right so you can see that he knew full and well what he was going to do I mean
this this part this is your life in this ending woman at a time points to that he
spray-painted me you never forget me where her body was now you got to tell
me after seeing this that this wasn't planned this wasn't premeditated this
man knew exactly the sick individual knew exactly what he was doing another
thing I want to point out is when he first logged into discord to post the
photographs he he said sorry fuckers you're going to have to find somebody
else to orbit now if you guys are unfamiliar Abeyta orbiter is by
definition a low value man who is to be able to get his own woman so he stays
around attractive women as friends and he's constantly stuck on the friendzone
he also said to remember to subscribe to PewDiePie which is just disgusting that
he would even say PewDiePie's name to do with this situation big issues that this
raises is with internet culture and social media as we can see
we live in a whole new generation and it's spawning new generations of
different types of killers most of these tied in with the memes of internet
culture and I think that it's horrible that this is happening because social
media in general tends to glorify these crimes tends to push to the forefront so
people can see and I feel like they see it as a way much like in the old days
you seen with murderers like Ted Bundy when that when the news would push these
horrendous crimes in front of your eyes since we live in this new generation
where it's the internet I feel like this is the new manifestation of that type of
behavior and I believe one of the biggest ways to stop this is that when
these situations do happen we do not talk about the individuals we do not
identify the individuals I feel like this is the biggest way to stop that and
then in turn another issue is the fact that when these tragedies happen there
are a whole slew of people that want to profit off these gruesome crimes and
they're part of the problem if you take those pictures if you take the
identities and you put them out there as game to get yourself subscribers and
followers number one you're not going to be looked at as a serious influencer
it's just not going to happen so it's null and void you're not gonna get what
you intended anyways no one is going to respect you
number two it's extremely disrespectful to the friends and families of the
victims the last thing we talk about is there's a whole website that talks about
this it's got statements from the family our family is devastated by the loss of
our beautiful angel Bianca our lives are now forever changed our hearts are
broken my heart is completely shattered having lost my best friend we will
always remember her beautiful smile that lit up our lives her spirit will
strengthen us and live on forever now if you guys do want to support this there
is a Bianca Michelle Devon's scholarship fund I'm gonna put the link to that in
the description below also paint in the comment and stuff this is the best way
that you can help because there are so many people there trying to profit off
this there are five accounts out their fake fundraisers but
this right here is a way to find the real supporting websites so it's it's a
horrible thing that's happened and this is actually the second I feel like the
second story of this year that it bears very strong resemblances if you guys
remember you could talk oka who also was intrinsic with internet culture the
real-life yan during i feel like as much as I hate to say it we're probably gonna
see more of this but remember we don't inglorious don't encourage this and I
feel like we can stop this type of emergence this type of behavior final
statement from the family Bianca was on July 15th 2019 says we are very grateful
for the outpouring of love and sympathy we have received from our friends family
Bianca's friends in the whole community your prayers helped to strengthen us
through a difficult time now I do want to say that we need to
continue to report any pictures of the crime if you see them rotating around
other than that and as interesting as says there's always some system or
interest me that's right you guessed it I want to know to you thanks so much
