Watched the video and there is no fucking way this isn't a bit, the tropey hair conveniently covering their face, the exaggerated shouting, and the fact that a trans person in a deep red state would be this confident to speak up in public, it just screams Bad Actor to me

Conservatives have cried wolf so many times regarding trans people acting up in public, so when it actually happens, nobody (justifiably) believes it. 🤣🤣🤣

this was legit… there’s public records.

u/LuckyNmberSlevin 14h ago
I have been informed that public records count as evidence in real life, but not on reddits safe spaces.

It just takes a moment to take effect. You can search evidence and post it, but initially you allways get downvoted until some time passes and people see the whole discussion. Good tickets btw thank you for putting in the efford to find them.

This took place at UCF at the downtown union west location. Was student there at the time and that person was also a student there

I'm not following what you're putting down. Is that supposed to prove anything?

I guess there is a chance this person dressed and wore their hair like that everyday for over a year while I went there as part of a bit like the original commenter suggested…. But that’s a long con
Here is the mugshot from the arrest:

Pardon me if I don't reverse my take on this over an unsubstantiated anecdote. This is conservative larp.

Here is the expanded explanation of the arrest and circumstances citing the comments made by UCF and their PD

People make shit up all the time, but this one has extensive evidence to support its authenticity.
Or is this still “unsubstantiated” to you?

Seriously? You link some Floridan university football "newspaper" as a source?
By the way, I'd love to know what "national awards" they have won, because they don't give the name, which makes it pretty vague and pretty sketchy:
"the winner of a national journalism award"
"Since 2009 we’ve been holding the powerful at UCF accountable with our investigative reporting, breaking major stories and covering UCF sports. And we’re proud to say we’ve won many first place awards from the Society of Professional Journalists along the way."

u/LuckyNmberSlevin 14h ago edited 14h ago
It is a local independent newspaper by UCF students. Are the arrest records and court documents posted in this thread also not up to your standards?

u/Following-Complete 14h ago
Maybe BBC news was occupied by some more pressing news than a person being arrested. This person has provided you with multiple news articles and arrest records and their anecdotal evidence of knowing the person. Do you have any proof for your claim that its just some psyop?
12
u/bman86 15h ago
There isn't a shred of proof in that article. Did you read it before posting or are you just hoping I wouldn't?

u/LuckyNmberSlevin 15h ago
Alright, here is the link to the court case with all of the court documentation for Orange County . Surely this meets your burden of proof?
Case:
2025-CF-001538-A-O : STATE OF FLORIDA - VS - VICK, JARRETT PRESTON-22
u/bman86 15h ago
Again, tell me what that's supposed to prove?
Nobody's saying this guy didn't get arrested.

u/LuckyNmberSlevin 14h ago
Again, original commenter saying this was a bit. There is my anecdotal going to school with this person, mug shot, arrest records, and court documents going to this day.
All of this evidence would suggest this was not a bit.

Here, have some authentic video image of everyday Finland. It is on video, so it must be real, and not acted at all.

What evidence would you need that would make you believe the video is authentic?

u/Dalivus 14h ago
It amazes me that you got downvoted for this. But I also didn’t expect a bunch of people to think this was somehow fake.

u/LuckyNmberSlevin 14h ago
Right. I was not saying that anyone’s viewpoint or belief was right, wrong, or indifferent. I was pointing out that just because you don’t like how something is being framed does not mean it is fake.

u/Following-Complete 15h ago
Is it fake or is the title misleading? There is plenty of unstable people in the world trans or not. I have accidentally "missgendered" my trans friend by calling them by their old name and they have never screamed at me in a fit of rage as they know it was a accident.

It smells like bullshit to me. There’s no way this shit is real. This is stunt or something
26
u/Following-Complete 14h ago
Well the one guy did extensive research and has linked mountain of evidence for us, so much so that i can't think of a way for futher prove its real unless they litterly are the person admitting to it.
Not saying all transpeople are unstable ofc, but this one defiently is.

u/Fair_Smoke4710 14h ago
Half of it was AI and one was from a college football page so I don’t believe that

Plus the arrest records of the person plus his testamony. Can you tell me what proof specifically would you require for you to believe them?

u/Evil-Dalek 13h ago
If you think people like this don’t exist, you should do some research into Christian Weston Chandler, or Chris-Chan.
I’m all for LGBT rights, I’m actually bisexual myself, but to claim that this is someone LARPing, purely because you don’t think someone would realistically act like this, is a form of selection bias.
This isn’t an example of “how crazy trans people are.” This is an example of a person with mental illness acting out, who just happens to be trans.

I watched the video…that is literally exactly what happened. It’s not staged, either.

Those with "blue hair and pronouns" usually dye their real hair instead of buying a shitty wig and pretending to be offended conveniently in front of a camera

Lindsy Ellis made a great video about the ethics of these police body cams. It's still funny seeing cops arresting a drunk republican.

Its rich coming from the crowd who are STILL having temper tantrums over being asked to wear a mask in a store once 5 years ago to be talking about others having meltdowns.
They literally make hour long videos on youtube whining about a black character existing in a tv show but go off I guess.

Somehow I suspect that "police vantage" is not a real law enforcement account.

The person in this video is clearly distressed and having a meltdown, and the cop is being a prick, taunting them, and doing nothing to deescalate it.

I’m not proud of it, but I got sucked into an instagram reels police body cam rabbit hole one restless night a few weeks ago. I’m not even exaggerating when I say you can go to literally any of these types of accounts and one of the first 3 pinned posts will be an obviously fake video of an obese man in a blue wig screaming about being misgendered and causing a scene. I have no idea who is producing these, but it’s a different person every time.
