California Catholic Daily exclusive:
On November 16, the Sacramento Bee reported: “A Sacramento area teacher who made national news nearly two decades ago when ‘she’ (quotation marks around ‘she’ added) tried to retain her job at a Sacramento high school while undergoing a sex change, has been charged in an Oakland triple homicide.
“Dana Rivers, 61, was arrested in Oakland on Friday, Nov. 11, on suspicion of killing Patricia Wright, 57, Charlotte Reed, 56, and 19-year-old Toto Diambu.
“Police said Rivers was arrested by officers in the early morning hours Friday. ‘She’ was booked into Alameda County Jail on three counts of murder, arson and possession of metal knuckles.”
The next 10 paragraphs of the Bee’s story were a biography of the alleged perpetrator. NBC Bay Area’s coverage had more details of the crime: “Oakland police officer Hector Jimenez wrote in a probable cause statement that officers who went to a residence in the 9400 block of Dunbar Drive at 12:21 a.m. on Friday to investigate a report of gunshots found a man, identified in court documents as Toto M. Diambu, lying in front of the residence suffering from an apparent stab wound.
“Jimenez said that as the officers were providing aid to Diambu they heard a loud bang coming from the garage and then saw Rivers walking out of the residence covered in blood… As officers were detaining Rivers she began making spontaneous statements about her involvement in the murders, Jimenez said.”
The Bee article does not mention that Rivers had parlayed his ‘transition’ into appearances on the Oprah Winfrey show, Good Morning America, and a seat as Honorary Grand Marshal at San Francisco’s 2001 Gay Pride Parade. Grand marshals at San Francisco’s Pride Parade are quite the collection. As grand marshal, Rivers joined such luminaries as convicted child molester Larry Brinkin, convicted traitor Bradley Manning, and NAMBLA founder Harry Hay, all of whom have served as parade grand marshals.
In January of 2012, Brinkin was arrested on charges of child pornography. The SF Bay Citizen reported at the time: “One photo shows a child about 2 to 3 years old being sexually abused, according to the search warrant. Another shows an adult male attempting to receive oral sex from a small child… Brinkin’s account was linked to several Yahoo discussion groups on the sexual exploitation of children, according to the search warrant. Emails from Brinkin’s account to other users contained stories police suspect were fictional accounts written by Brinkin. The stories describe the rape and torture of African American children, according to the search warrant. One of the emails contained the words ‘White Power! White Supremacy!’”
On January 28, 2014, the San Francisco Chronicle reported that Brinkin pleaded guilty to charges of possessing child pornography.
A May 1, 2013 CalCatholic article stated: “In 1999 the parade’s grand marshal was Harry Hay, who had defended NAMBLA, the National Man Boy Love Association. In a 1983 New York University forum, Hay had said “[I]f the parents and friends of gays are truly friends of gays, they would know from their gay kids that the relationship with an older man is precisely what thirteen-, fourteen-, and fifteen-year-old kids need more than anything else in the world.”
Other notable past grand marshals include US Senator-elect Kamala Harris, and state Senator Mark Leno. Other notable attendees at the Gay Pride Parade include Jesuits Fr. Donal Godfrey, currently serving as an associate director for staff/faculty spirituality at USF, and Fr. Paul Fitzgerald, currently serving as president of the University of San Francisco.
The more our society wrongly considers homosexuality and “transgenderism” to be normal, the more we will see the latent perversity intrinsic to those conditions manifest itself publicly because a significant and effective societal restraint on their proclivities is being removed.
Years ago, our Catholic high school invited a police officer to speak to the senior class on vocation day. The students, asked the visiting officer, “What are the most difficult cases for the police?” He responded, “Solving the overkill murders, from jealous homosexuals.” Today, in many of our Catholic schools, that same police officer would be called a bigot, then reprimanded for marginalizing. Not only has it become acceptable to pretend that certain Church teachings don’t exist, you’re considered more fashionably “Christian” if you pretend that consequences don’t exist either. Many will use the word “rigid” and society will call us “deplorable and irredeemable.” Pray the rosary! Sacred Heart of Jesus, we place our…

trust in you!
This statement by the policeperson doesn’t even actually make sense. Crimes of passion are the most easy to solve, regardless of whether they are gay or straight. Literally the murderer is left with blood on his hands, on their gloves and socks, and they are careless and leave their Bruno Magli footprints at the scene.
Um, the currently correct term according to the PC elites is “policething”. To write “policeperson”, as you did, is to be noninclusive because “policeperson” has the masculine word “son” in it.
However, if you add the qualifier that the “son” in “policeperson” identifies as female or as non-gender-binary, then you would be permitted to use that term because it would be inclusive even though appearing not to be.
/sarcasm off
“Policeperson”? You really have drunk too much of the PC Kool-Aid, YFC.
There is nothing wrong with “policeman”.
Really, that’s your response? When I had read Catherine’s post, I saw “police officer” and didn’t catch her later gender identifier. I’m sorry I missed it. I suppose I could have used “police officer”. But honestly, I didn’t even give it half the thought you did. However, my point stands: Crimes of passion are very easily solved, so this police officer’s statement doesn’t hold water.
“Policething” is best because it does not alienate canines and bomb detonating robots either. We don’t want to offend them and those that love them.
Of course you have made that up, Sawyer. You have never scratched the surface of any homosexual, have you? And you have never studied professionally the psychopathology of straight vs gay people, have you?
This example is truly an extreme and bizarre one. Given the description of this crime, I am willing to beet that drugs were at the heart of what went wrong here. PCP, meth, or bath salts come to mind.
I have scratched, and yes there are mental problems.
I didn’t ask you Tanya. Who are you? How is it that you
scratched a homosexual?
That’s what they do.
Probably the testosterone.
Probably bath salts.
UGH! So why did this POTUS push thru federal regulations to mandate gender bender treatments/ops onto confused youth? (Almost all recover on their own by the way.)
See Nov. 14th, Cal-Ctholic article.
Terrible. Since some gay pride parade leaders have been murderers and perverts all LGBTQ people must be the same morally lost people.
Hmmm. Adolph Hitler and Joseph Stalin attended seminaries to train to become priests (Stalin in a Russian Orthodox seminary). Since they both became genocidal dictators, I suppose the seminary made them that way and thus, all seminarians are prone to killing millions of people given the chance.
Stalin was expelled from seminary and Hitler only dreamed of being a priest when he was a child. Both became atheist early in their young adult life.
Hitler was never in a seminary. You must be reading Jack Chick comic books for your research.
“The Watchtower” (of the Jehovah’s Witnesses ) is also a “good source” on Hitler being a Catholic priest. Or whatever.
The highlighting of Certain Perps and near total censorship of Others by our bought and paid for ‘free press’ is a main reason behind its demise.
Larry Brinkin, Enrique Pearce, Alan Ginsberg, Ernst Rohm State Senator Mark “Kiddie Porn King” Leno – all cut from the same cloth and papered over by the 4th Estate of government – lest the Mushrooms case their ballots like a basket to undesirable viewpoints.
BTW – the Court Refused to label brinkin’s Racist Pederast Rape-Porn as “Moral Turpitude”, although if it was someone less iconic (Brinkin had a whole week named in his honor) and the right victims (little girls perhaps, by a “Dangerous outsider heterosexual”) then we could expect a rather different outcome.
Still – Brinkin was at the center of the ‘in-human-rights’ commission in Frisco, and his Boss ‘T. Sparks’ Sparky just got made head of the Tranz=Pogrom in the city, despite settling a big lawsxuit over hatred and discrimination against Heterosexual Men

The tragedy, of course, is that people suffering from identity issues do not receive the help they need.
The delusion that some people, born genetically as one of clearly identifiable gender, feel trapped in a body with the wrong genitalia was the result of a long-since discredited work of a Johns Hopkins psychologist John Money. He was also homosexual. Johns Hopkins psychiatrists [REAL specialists in mental-based abnormalities] have totally repudiated Money’s “research”. And “gender re-assignment surgery” is no longer permitted at Johns Hopkins University Hospital, nor condoned by the medical faculty of Johns Hopkins Medical School.
Actually, Johns Hopkins has announced they will resume transgender therapy.
Guy (presumably) cuts off his genitalia voluntarily, pumps himself full of estrogen, and then turns out to be emotionally unbalanced. Who would have guessed?
Rather than going on and on about how misguided such people are, why not try to prove it by actually repairing the damage?
I think the Church would be better served trying to help such individuals. Oh, and saying “be celibate for the rest of your life and pray so we can pretend you don’t exist” isn’t helping them, that’s just preventing others from experiencing discomfort due to confronting something that doesn’t fit their worldview. You haven’t figured out their situation until you can reliably help them enjoy satisfactory heterosexual relationships if they so choose. Thus, Courage is largely a failure since the vast majority of people it “helps” learn nothing but to repress their sexuality rather than be “fixed”.
Until…
Jon J. the left has tried to outlaw such groups that try to get to the root of these people’s problems and get them to change their disordered orientation and lead normal lives. Why don’t you blame the radicals in the LGBT groups. Some people just cannot be helped if they do not want to be helped. As the saying goes, “You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make it drink.
Yes, Anne T, the left has tried to prevent reparative therapy from being used on minors. Of course, they can’t stop using it with adults. So there is a way forward with reparative therapy. It’s generally mocked by the mainstream scientific community, but if Catholic beliefs about LBGTQ behavior is correct, the faithful should be able to show the correctness of this theory through therapy results.
Some males who have committed sex offense are doing this so they can be imprisoned in a women’s penitentiary. They are afraid of repercussions from male prisoners, but they are a danger to female prisoners as they still have more upper body strength. One female boxer thought she was so smart to take a challenge from a male to female “sex-change” boxer. She got her face seriously smashed in since she was not nearly as strong as he/she was.
