‘She Rage-Baited Me.’ Woman Who Punched Pro-Life Activist In The Face Launches GoFundMe

A woman who assaulted a pro-life journalist and activist has launched a GoFundMe to help with her legal defense, insisting that she was ‘rage-baited’ into the vicious attack.
Late last week, Savannah Craven, an anti-abortion activist who works with Students for Life and Live Action, was interviewing passersbys when one woman who didn’t appreciate her questions, now identified as Brianna J. Rivers, punched her in the face and sent her to the hospital.


In a post made to Facebook, Rivers declined to accept blame or responsibility for the attack and insisted that the video evidence would in some way exonerate her. It doesn’t. (Assault at 6:46 mark)

“She railroaded me into all of this. She needs to release the unedited footage with her relentless antagonization on a subject that is very touchy…She knows the truth and she needs to release the footage in its entirety. Savannah is a professional antagonist not a “reporter” and the truth will be told.”
Rivers adds:
“I will not allow my image to be defamed by this woman’s actions. Anyone who knows me knows how respectful I am, I don’t even litter, there’s no way you believe I’m punching people for disagreeing with my POV.”

Rivers has since launched a GoFundMe campaign, which has raised $6170 at the time of writing, where she again insists “(Craven) rage baited me and antagonized me anticipating a harsh reaction (which she is villainously known for),” before concluding:
This viral moment has altered my life for the worst despite my being apologetic she has sent her supporters on a witch hunt to find me. I am receiving death threats, being Cyber bullied, threatened, and body shamed not only by her but her thousands of followers. These people have made my personal information public, I’ve had strangers come to my door step in regards to this incident and I am fearful for my safety and the safety of my family. I am seeking financial assistance to hire professional counsel (defense attorney) and bail if need be.


Doesn’t matter what was said. You have ZERO RIGHT to assault someone who isn’t physically attacking you and then whine about it and cry “muh raycisms” when you get arrested and charged for being A VIOLENT FELON WHOSE CRIME WAS CAUGHT ON CAMERA AND BROADCAST TO THE WORLD.
At least GoFundMe had the decency to shut her race grifting fundraiser scam down. Hopefully GiveSendGo, which is supposed to be a faith based site will do the same ASAP. This disgraceful, violent felon belongs in prison as does anyone who defends her atrocious, criminal actions.
