Gender-confused man begins serving life sentence for triple murder in California women’s prison David 'Dana Rivers' Wakefield, a former teacher and San Francisco 'pride' parade marshal, shot and stabbed a lesbian couple and stabbed their 19-year-old son.

LifeSiteNews) – A biologically male triple murderer began serving his life sentence in a women’s prison last month, thanks to the permissive gender laws of far-left California.

California LGBT activist David Wakefield, who later “transitioned” to living as a woman named Dana Rivers, was arrested in 2016 for slaying a lesbian couple and their 19-year-old son. “Police said the two women were both stabbed and shot, and the man was stabbed. They were pronounced dead at the scene,” the Sacramento Bee reported at the time. “Police said Rivers was covered in blood and about to ride away on [Charlotte] Reed’s motorcycle when she was arrested.”

Wakefield/Rivers, a former teacher, surgical and chemical “transition” recipient, and San Francisco “pride” parade honorary marshal, was sentenced to life in prison on June 14 and incarcerated at Central California Women’s Facility two days later, The Daily Wire reported. California has allowed biological males to be housed with female inmates since 2021.

“There was something truly vile about the way this was carried out and his obvious hatred of her,” said Kara Dansky, who protests holding men like Rivers with female prisoners. “My feeling from knowledge of the case is that he killed her because he couldn’t be her and he shouldn’t be in prison with other women.”

Actual female prisoners “get very anxious when a [trans-identifying man] gets processed in,” agreed Amie Ichikawa, who served five years in Central on drug charges and is now an activist against gender-fluid inmate policies. “Even when they’re post-op, if they get mad they go right back to angry man mode.”

In recent years, there has been growing concern around the world over placing men who claim to be women in female prison populations, which has proven to be a means of both securing lighter treatment during incarceration and gaining easy access to women to prey upon.

In May, conservative investigative journalist James O’Keefe released an interview with Federal Bureau of Prisons psychologist Dr. Linda Noelle, who says that “male and female prisoners “both play the victim card” to obtain gender “reassignment” surgeries at taxpayer expense. “And then they go through [the far-left American Civil Liberties Union], and then the ACLU sues the [U.S. Department of Justice]” when demands for subsidized transition procedures are initially rejected, Noelle told O’Keefe. “And the DOJ, unfortunately, under Merrick Garland, it rolls over. It doesn’t go through the courts, so they just pay people off.”

Remember the halcyon days when things like this used to be funny? I'm not laughing anymore.

He should have just gotten a lethal injection from the get-go. And yes. I said “He”.

“There was something truly vile about the way this was carried out and his obvious hatred of her,”

Using a pronoun like that is likely soon to become a felony in Michigan.

I’m sure many women in those prisons are
more than able to eliminate the she-man.

No doubt this murderous bastard identifies as a lesbian and will begin raping the female inmates. This insanity started with gay marriage, when they said it would end there.

So... similar to ‘black on black’ crime, is it not safe to say that most of the so-called ‘assault on the lgbt commuuuunity’ is really just homo on homo crime? What are the statistics on this?

And this fellow was apparently a teacher, parade marshal etc.... a fine upstanding member of the commuuuuunity. I doubt that any of them aren’t just closet mental cases....

“No doubt this murderous bastard identifies as a lesbian and will begin raping the female inmates.”

Strange is that not? The idea of being transgender is to become and live as the other gender. He became a “woman” so would he not be now into men? I mean that is what women are generally into.

I’m surprised that a guy could pull off a triple murder in a Calif women’s prison.

But that is one way of reading the headline.

Does it seem like an unusually high percentage of transvestites are multiple murderers?

No, you’re thinking in terms of “normal”, which is bad now. According to them. Personally, I’m sick of this crap. Gay rights is a sham. That’s not what they want. I’d better stop here.

Well, when the entire pool is severely mentally ill, those percentages make sense.

Yes these women are serving time, BUT they don’t deserve to have a predator who IS a man amongst them. The state is wrong for that.

“My feeling from knowledge of the case is that he killed her because he couldn’t be her...”

Isn’t this the case where the trannie was working as a hitman for a biker gang, and this was a paid hit he was doing?

Those crimes will guarantee (s)he will not last long in prison. I guess (s)he really did get a “life” sentence.

“This insanity started with gay marriage”

And now the Republicans are surrendering on that issue and they’ll start surrendering on gender theory next. Some of them want to surrender on drug legalization, abortion, contraception ... What’s the point? Nancy Mace is a perfect example of a surrendering Republican squish.
