Why even ask? I'm a liberal, after all, so it's a given that I can back up what I say.

Everyone around says this kid was a gay-hater.

Club Q shooter used anti-gay slurs frequently before attack on LGBTQ bar

"He used the term 'fa***t' a lot," a neighbor said. "Most of the time it came from a place of anger...

Gun-Crazed Colorado Club Shooting Suspect Used Anti-Gay Slurs, Neighbor Says

A former neighbor and friend of Anderson Lee Aldrich said he heard him frequently use the word “f*ggot”—and that he had a fondness for visiting a gun range.

Club Q Massacre Suspect Had Tried to Erase Dad’s Dark Past

Anderson Lee Aldrich’s petition to change his name alluded to his father’s “criminal history.” That history appears to have included a drug-addled career in porn.

My neighbor used to call his boyfriend that term too, I think both used that term often for each other in hate, so don't assume it was a hate crime when the suspect himself used weird pronouns for himself that shows he was confused.

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.

We can't blame the Gay Guy.....we have to blame his parents and grandparents. The left is so desperate to generate an issue that they have to reach so far to make a story fit the narrative. Using guilt by association they claim the Gay Guy isn't to blame for the shooting. It has to be his normal white parents who weren't able to raise him properly.

Democrats really need a Mormon to shoot up a gay bar over Drag Queen Hour in our public schools.

Is Aldrich’s mother a homo too?

Shame on her

Don't forget Aldrich's father. He and Joe Biden share a common bond, both of their sons grew up to be junkies.
