10 violent acts, fatal crimes committed by trans activists: list

3. Oklahoma City – Feb. 28

Two LGBT activists, Savanna Mitchell and Austin Ross, were arrested in connection with an incident that erupted as lawmakers in Oklahoma debated a bill that prohibits prescribing puberty blockers or body mutilating sex-change surgeries for minors who are temporarily confused about their sexual identity. Republican Gov. Kevin Stitt signed the legislation into law earlier this month. 

As Fox 25 reported on March 7, authorities arrested Mitchell at the State Capitol after she allegedly threw water on Republican Rep. Bob Culver. Ross, who was with Mitchell at the time of the arrest, told a trooper that the activist was not “going to be placed under arrest” and he attempted to grab the trooper’s hands in an attempt to free Mitchell.

According to an affidavit obtained by the outlet, Ross managed to get away due to the “limited number of manpower on the scene.” Troopers later located the activist in the building and identified him, issuing an arrest warrant for Ross within a few days.
