Colorado Night Club Shooting

[Big Blitz]

Still gathering facts.  Not sure why it’s in the thread posts it’s in.  Deserves its own thread.
 

Information about the shooter

 

 

 

…..His upbringing is marked by a biological father with a criminal history who dabbled in drugs and worked in the porn industry and a mother with multiple arrests in California and Texas. The two parents separated while Aldrich was a toddler.”

 

Aldrich’s difficult childhood and earlier existence as Nicholas Brink offer the first clues to the mysteries of who the suspected gunman was, though it is unclear yet if his tumultuous childhood is related in any way to the attack at Club Q. Shortly before he changed his name, the suspected shooter apparently was a target of online bullying and showed signs of a fascination with gay culture.

 

A petition for the name change obtained by The Denver Gazette shows the reason for the name change handwritten by his biological grandmother, Pamela Pullen, was "minor wishes to protect himself and his future from any connections to birth father and his criminal history. Father has had no contact with minor for several years."

Apparently per posts on this board literally hours after the shooting, it was the Republicans, Trumps, Tucker Carlson, and Matt Walsh’s fault.  
 

Disgusting. 
 

 

 

 

 

I haven’t seen any updates on the news since yesterday.    
 

 

The Devil attacks families first.  Then the Church.  This is all manifested in this poor kids life.  A confused and lost kid with terrible role models as parents.

I heard that his biological father did porn.  I didn't realize it was gay porn.  That and the name change suggests the motive.

The most recent incident led to a familiar pattern. A man walked into a gay club where a drag queen show was underway. Before he was stopped, five people were killed and 18 were wounded. Given the gunman’s “target,” it was “naturally” assumed that the perpetrator was a right-wing fanatic who was driven to this mass slaughter by conservative politicians and online hate sites .

 

A National Review editorial sums up the arguments on the left.

According to the burgeoning conventional wisdom, therefore, the true culprits for the Club Q shooting include Libs of Tik Tok, Tucker Carlson, Elon Musk’s Twitter content-moderation policies, the “right wing moral panic” about drag queen story hours, and — of course — the entire Republican Party.

 

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez attributed the shooting to the Right’s “anti-LGBT+ campaign,” writing: “Connect the dots, @GOP.” Equality Florida press secretary Brandon Wolf told MSNBC that “right wing grifters, including politicians like Ron DeSantis and Greg Abbott, they’ve been spewing this vile, hateful rhetoric about LGBTQ people . . . and we warned them that inevitably this would result in violence.”

 

In the New York Times, columnist Michelle Goldberg argued that the shooting “seems hard to separate” from the Right’s “nationwide campaign of anti-L.G.B.T.Q. incitement.” “Each time these things happen, the right-wing go-to is to blame ‘mental illness,’” Brian Broome wrote in the Washington Post. But “it’s right-wing rhetoric that sparks these nightmares.”

 

Anderson Lee Aldrich was not influenced by right-wing “hate speech.”

 

He was not “anti-LGBTQ” because he was, in fact, a “non-binary” person who preferred being addressed with the pronouns “they/them.” He had been hospitalized several times for mental disorders. But, apparently, Aldrich was influenced and motivated to kill fellow LGBTQ people by right-wing loudmouths?

 

And what’s really, truly frightening is that the left pretends not to see the hypocrisy of its position.

what are your thoughts now that it seems the shooter was a member of the lgbtq community? Also the u of Virginia shooter and the wal mart shooter who all are not maga? 

[Over 29 years of fanhood]

Hmm extrapolating the normal banning reaction, I’m assuming the democrats support banning gender dysphoric individuals from obtaining weapons?

They are part of the gun community - which you embrace.

 

Keep trying!

Which shooting range were they members of? I can assure you no member of the "gun community" would act recklessly with a gun. It's always they "purchased the gun the week before" with these nut jobs. I also haven't met a lot of they/thems at the range but you never know these days

Hey cup cake - thanks for making the case for stricter gun laws.

They had strict laws and it didn't work. I agree, if someone comes in and says "you may address me as they/them" then I don't think they should get a gun. Clearly some kind of mental problems going on there

Not at all… go look at my history - I don’t care who the terrorists is - they are able to do what they do because of YOU.

As predicted in the gun thread.

Step 1) Blame Ultra MAGA White Supremacist Christian Nationalists.

 

Step 2) If as facts reveal themselves if killer is white go back and repeat step 1 if not go to step 3

 

Step 3) Transition focus to the gun not the shooter and go to step 4

 

Step 4) Blame the availability of guns on Ultra MAGA White Supremacist Christian Nationalists

It's like arguing with a 4 year old with that guy (or girl).

Believe all LGBTQ people...

Reminds me of the Pulse shooter. Everyone was convinced it was a right wing gay hating mother trucker.  Turned out to be a gay guy.

Mateen was I guess technically a right wing gay hating whatever, he was a Muslim.

Why it’s own thread? The answer is in the other thread. More guns, especially AR style, and less background checking solves everything. 

 

The founders envisioned exactly this with the second amendment.
