Violent trans Rose City Antifa member dies in flames in Indiana
A violent trans Portland Antifa member involved in a 2019 riot where I was attacked has died in Indiana.
"Cary Cary Cary Canary," 44, the adopted name of David Anthony Chaltraw, died on April 3 in Laporte County, Ind. after running a stop sign at an intersection and crashing into a semi truck. His vehicle caught on fire and he died. No one else was injured. The local media is reporting that a "woman" died in the crash.
Chaltraw was once a bluegrass musician known as Davy Jay Sparrow before joining Antifa in Portland and transitioning to becoming the Trantifa militant known as "Cary Cary Cary."
In May 2019, I documented a masked Chaltraw participating in the Rose City Antifa riot against Patriot Prayer outside the Antifa pub, Cider Riot. One of Chaltraw's masked comrades ran up and assaulted me. No Antifa members were ever arrested or charged, even as I iden
tified Chaltraw to the Portland Police. In contrast, three Patriot Prayer members were charged with felony rioting. Two were acquitted at trial in 2022 and one was convicted.
