On 18 March 2018, Facebook page Newly Press shared a text-based image with the claim that the grandson of a man named Jimmy Coyne was assaulted for refusing to participate in walkouts against school shootings: Missing from The Newly Press meme: A date, names of those involved, the name of the school at which the purported beating took place, and links to information supporting the claims made. Earlier on 18 March 2018, a Facebook user named Jimmy Coyne shared a status update stating that his grandson had been hospitalized after an altercation at his high school. In the comments, Coyne said the incident occurred at Glenpool High School in Glenpool, Oklahoma: In his initial post, Coyne did not mention a school walkout or state that Chandler had been attacked for his refusal to participate in one. A different post shared by someone else claims that the boy was attacked for that reason: Several news outlets carried reports about the altercation, but did not name the students. KOTV shared a statement from Glenpool schools confirming the incident occurred, but declined to provide details: On 14 March 2018, KTUL reported that footage of the altercation appeared on YouTube but was later deleted. Although the item didn't describe the video, further details were provided. According to that account based on police in Glenpool, the badly injured student was in support of the walkout: A third report confirmed that an altercation occurred, but did not discuss the claims. Although the fight does not appear to be in dispute, the only information reported about the basis of the claim appears to contradict the rumor. According to a local news source, the young man injured in the dispute supported the school walkout. That same report said the older student arrested in connection with the assault disagreed.
