The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation (TBI) Thursday confirmed to The Tennessee Star that it is aware of a viral video circulating the web in which a transgender activist encourages transgender people in Tennessee to commit acts of violence.
“We are aware of the post, but don’t have any further information or insight to offer,” said TBI spokesman Josh DeVine.
The video, initially posted on TikTok, was amplified by the popular Twitter account LibsOfTikTok.

“Trans people in Tennessee, it’s time to f***in’ fight,” says the video’s creator. “Trans allies in Tennessee, it’s time to f***in’ fight. Trans women, if they lock you up for identifying as a woman, fight. Resist. You’re gonna die anyways. We’re gonna die anyways. It’s time to f***in’ resist.”
There is no law in Tennessee against being transgender.
“Fight them. Hurt them,” the video’s creator says. “If they put their hands on you, beat them. We are at an attack. It’s time to fight back. Trans people in Tennessee, trans men, trans women, non-binary, fight! If they try to arrest you or have you arrested for a felony for existing, beat them!”
The creator of the video then instructs trans people to band together, carry weapons and attack police officers.
“If they lock you in prison, f**k up the guards,” the video’s creator says. “Bust out of prison. Join other trans people. It’s time we organize a prison bust in Tennessee, guys.”
The Metro Nashville Police Department (MNPD) did not return a comment request.
The TikTok video’s amplification comes in the wake of a mass shooting at The Covenant School in Nashville, wherein transgender male (biological female) Audrey Elizabeth Hale killed three children and three adults Monday.
Thursday, a violent mob of anti-gun activists stormed the Tennessee Capitol building gallery, attempting to push its way through the doors to the Tennessee House chamber. State troopers who guard the Tennessee Capitol were able to control the unruly mob before it gained access to the chamber.

Lock and load people. These nut bags are serious. WHY HASN’T THIS WOMAN BEEN ARRESTED??? They just charged a man with a felony for posting a meme about Hillary Clinton but we do nothing to the mentally ill people making death threats. She is a domestic terrorist and needs to be arrested immediately.
As an openly gay, married, Republican, I am beyond repulsed by the Trans community specifically and the LGBT Community in general. They do not speak for me nor do they represent me! I am more than my sexual orientation, and am tired of being judged, prejudged and lumped in with anyone and everyone else that happens to be LGBT. These Trans “people” need to be segregated from the rest of us not only for our protection against their mental illness, but for their own protection as well.
the Trans community if they read this article are going to be screaming their foolish heads off. Tennessee Star mis-gendered this killer. It was a “female’ wanting to be a “male”.
After reading this, the news about the deranged woman who killed six Christians, and the mob attack on the Tennessee State House, I’m now carrying an extra magazine on my belt.
maybe there need to be laws against people like this buying guns.
Another Liberal method to sow hate and rage!
When are you people going to see progressive for what they are?
Free speech is one thing and it is quite different that fomenting hate crimes. Is it possible this “transgender activist” is desiring being locked up in a penal institution? Does he realize incarceration will be determined on his biological and not desired gender?
