Colorado Shooter Is Reportedly Grandson of MAGA Lawmaker, Has History of Domestic Violence

[MinTrut]

Would you be willing to bet your life savings on that?

Yes - would you?

If so, let's do it.

Are there any Left Wing RINOs ?

No.

The left is a tiny and powerless group; no leftist is a Democrat be definition.

 

[MinTrut]

Nope.

Yup.

I am classical liberal.

Not a modern liberal, I agree.

It means "LIBERTY FROM GOVERNMENT"

It means many things.

Leftists ARE statists.

A few are.

Most Democrats are.

But there are no leftist Democrats.

Entirely different.

There are no leftist Democrats.

Democrats are (modern) liberals, progressives, so-called moderates, and (deranged) conservatives.

By definition, no Democrat is a leftist.

Anderson Lee Aldrich: 5 Fast Facts You Need to Know

Anderson Lee Aldrich is the suspect accused of perpetrating a mass shooting at Club Q in Colorado Springs on November 19, 2022, killing five and injuring 25.

Late Saturday night, a 22-year-old man identified as Anderson Lee Aldrich allegedly killed five people and injured dozens more at the LGBTQ nightclub Club Q in Colorado Springs. Aldrich, who’s currently in police custody, has also been identified by Heavy as the grandson of California state Assemblymember Randy Vopel, a pro-Trump Republican who likened the Jan. 6 insurrection that killed five to the Revolutionary War.

The extent of Aldrich’s relationship to his grandfather isn’t immediately clear, but tellingly, the Republican Party has spent the last several months in particular escalating their attacks on queer and trans people. In addition to Aldrich’s ties to a far-right elected official who glorified violence on the Capitol, he has a documented history of violence—but obtained an AR-15 nonetheless.

In 2021, Aldrich’s mother called the police on her son, reporting that he was threatening her with a homemade bomb and other weapons. Police responded to the threat by evacuating part of the neighborhood and engaging in a standoff with Aldrich, before he surrendered and was charged with five felony counts including kidnapping and felony menacing. More than two-thirds of mass shootings are domestic violence incidents or perpetrated by shooters with a history of domestic violence, a 2021 study found.
According to the Washington Post, it’s not clear why local prosecutors declined to pursue charges in the case, and court records for the case were placed under seal, the Colorado Springs Gazette reports. Further, Aldrich seems to have skirted Colorado’s “red flag” gun law that allows authorities to confiscate guns from individuals with histories of mental illness or violence. Colorado Springs is notably in El Paso County, one of 2,000 counties nationwide that identify as “Second Amendment Sanctuaries.” The Associated Press notes that the county “appears especially hostile” to Colorado’s red flag law and went so far as to pass a 2019 resolution condemning the law.

As you said; but not grandpa; REAL crazies!!

"However, Aldrich’s public defender revealed that Aldrich is “nonbinary” and uses “they/them pronouns,” the New York Times reported. In addition to the pronouns, Aldrich is referred to as “Mx. Aldrich” in the court filings.

“Anderson Aldrich is nonbinary,” a footnote in the filing states. “They use they/them pronouns, and for the purposes of all formal filings, will be addressed as Mx. Aldrich.”

So what? Dozens upon dozens of current lawmakers have children and grandchildren in jail for everything up to and including Murder, pedophilia and grand larceny.... Just to name a few. So what's your point? Not that you actually had one anyway except for trolling.

Actually your last statement is true because progressives have progressed so far around the circle of social dysfunction that they're knocking on their own back door now.

The guy is a nutball, a creation of alt-left liberal thinking and grooming.

You beat me to it. lol

The god of the left, “government,” failed to stop this non binary, they/them leftist………..Red Flag laws allow the police to petition a court to remove the guns from dangerous individuals……….they did not need a conviction to do it with the holy anti-gun fanatic Red Flag laws….and they didn’t do it……

This left wing, non-binary, they/them shooter was allowed to do this shooting by the god of leftism……”government.”

 

[2aguy]

This shooter is now the They/them shooter…………pass along the new name of this leftist, non binary, they/them killer…….

 

[surada]

Is Aldrich’s mother a homo too?

Shame on her

What about last night's massacre in Virginia?

US Walmart shooting: Manager kills six at Virginia supermarket

The gunman opened fire on colleagues in a break room before turning the weapon on himself.

[surada]

But you won’t let that stop you from blaming “MAGA” grandad for this loon’s actions.

You guys were blaming Pelosi.

US Walmart shooting: Manager kills six at Virginia supermarket

[elektra]

And identified himself in court as

NON BINARY

GENDER QUEER

 

[Independentthinker]

Liberals/Democrats, not the left.

Then who is the left? The Bernie Sanders people who don't want anyone in jail?

 

[TNHarley]

Wow! He is related to a Republican! Thats a fucking story!
Lets just forget a queer shot a bunch of queers in a club for queers.
No, lets focus on his GRANDFATHER.
You fuckin dipshits

 

[Papageorgio]

There’s no such thing as Second Amendment ‘sanctuaries,’ it’s rightwing idiocy.

Federal firearm regulations will be enforced in all jurisdictions in the United States; Federal law is the supreme law of the land, and there’s nothing local officials can do to stop it.

As to the OP – yes it comes as no surprise that the shooter is related to a rightwing ‘MAGA’ loon; such is the violent, lawless right.

So federal marijuana laws should be enforced at all levels in all 50 states, that immigration laws need to be enforced at all levels in all 50 states and their should be no sanctuary cities? After all federal law is the supreme law of the land.

 

[MinTrut]

Leftists are statists.

Democrats are, and a TINY number of leftists are.

I have no idea where you are coming up with your definitions but you are singular with them.

Backatcha; Democrats are not leftists, and leftists are not Democrats.

 

[MinTrut]

Then who is the left?

A small but diverse assortment of non-Democrats, most of whom are libertarian and strongly oppose the Democrat totalitarian/fascist agenda.

The Bernie Sanders people

Some supported social democrat Bernie, yes.

who don't want anyone in jail?

Some may support bail reform, but not releasing violent felons.

Unlike Democrats, leftists are not deranged conservatives.

 

[struth]

What about last night's massacre in Virginia?

US Walmart shooting: Manager kills six at Virginia supermarket

The gunman opened fire on colleagues in a break room before turning the weapon on himself.

www.bbc.com

Horrible stuff, that's the second mass shooting in Va in just a couple weeks....the first one was at UVa, when an African-American ex-football player targeted some current players.

Not sure the details of the one in your link yet, reports I heard so far is it was some sort of work related thing, as the shooter was a former-manager. Certainly, hard times in Xiden's America

So his grandfather may or may not a Republican, now that is some investigative work! Ted Bundy‘s grandfather may or may not be a Democrat! Oh my the implications!

The press is just so sad these days, remember when we had real journalists reporting real news and not some BS, nothing crap.
