Media Blackout on Dana Rivers “Michfest” Murder Trial

"Rivers was an organizer and participant in 'Camp Trans,' the largest organized protest in transgender history. Camp trans was a campaign against the rights of lesbians to hold an annual women-only music festival called 'Michfest' on private land...

...in November 2016, David Warfield/Dana Rivers went on to brutally batter, then stab, shoot, and burn two women (who were longtime 'Michfest' attendees) and their adopted son. David/Dana was charged with stabbing, shooting, and beating Patricia Wright, Charlotte Reed, and their son Benny- and then burning them. "

The LGBTQ media needs to cover this. If a white cis gay or lesbian Was on trial for murder of two black trans folks hey would be all over it.

R2 What gay media outfit actually does this type of reporting anymore?

They'd need to track down and interview Michfest attendees, dig through court documents, not to mention navigate pushback from "gay rights" groups for publishing what they find.

Blair White oughtta do a YouTube series about this. She is so good about holding trans criminals feet to the fire.

Just FYI, the murders occurred just after midnight Nov. 11, 2016- two days after Trump was elected. The election happened on Tuesday and this was Thursday night heading into Friday morning.

[quote]At the time, her name was David Warfield and her recognized gender was male. Warfield was said to be a wonderful teacher — receiving an $80,000 grant and in 1993 winning the Stand and Deliver award, given to the school’s most inspiring teacher. Previously, she had served on a school board in Huntington Beach.

The killer sounds like she had been a good teacher.

I wonder what went wrong.

[quote]“I forgive the person that did it,” [victim's son] Khari Campbell-Wright told the TV station, “I have no hard feelings. It’s in God’s hands. You can’t control the things that happen in life.”

[quote]Police have not released a motive in the slayings, though they told the Sacramento Bee it may have involved property.

Media blackout but lengthy quotes from the WaPo article? How odd.

Damn. They sure do look like a lesbian.

R12 Write him a fan letter, he'll be thrilled to hear it!

Most validation he'll have had since he stalked and murdered some actual lesbians.
