Colorado Gay Club Shooter Identifies As "Non-Binary" With They/Them Pronouns

That is an unreasonable deflection. People are responsible for their own actions. Trying to blame "society," or "family," or any other source for his actions is simply seeking to excuse them as "not my fault, society is to blame!"
Lots of people had the opportunity to intervene in this young man's life before he became a mass murderer. Yet no one did. The warning signs were there. We need to start taking mental health much more seriously in this country.
 
Wow, what a sad read that was. I hate to feel bad for a kid who turned to mass shooting to take it all out but dang he was ****ed from the beginning.
Unfortunately, we often only find out how "****ed up" a given person's situation is in this country because so many of us (and the media in general) are wholly focused on how we can make political hay out of absolutely everything. We only see people in political terms and we only see the circumstances of those people in political terms. There is no room left for humanity and even that term is used more for political virtue signalling than it is as recognition that in every situation there is a unique human being with unique needs, desires and dreams at the center. The more self centered we become the less important everyone around us becomes to us, the more others become tools for our own edification.

The very act of insulating ourselves from the political ideas that trouble us causes us to isolate the people expressing those ideas and, unfortunately, isolation often leads to desperation and desperation sometimes leads to desperate acts. Our society is crumbling not because of the diversity of ideas around us but because we are losing the WILLINGNESS to rrecognize and address those ideas in productive ways.

QUACK QUACK QUACK- EXTRA EXTRA! The TRUTH sets you free! Read all about it! 6’4”, 260 lbs, 22 year old Anderson Lee Aldrich identifies as NON-BINARY! Not a Right Wing Nut! Not a Conservative!

First groomed by the Rat Party, then abandoned by them, Aldrich acted out in a LGBTQ Colorado Springs nightclub. Full blame goes on the Rat Party! If you have to HATE, then HATE the Rat Party!

New details emerge

================================

It has been a two day media blitz after Anderson Aldrich allegedly walked into Club Q in Colorado Springs and opened fire, killing five and injuring 19 others. Without any detailed information, leftist journalists and activists immediately accused "MAGA" Republicans of inspiring the killings and cited pro-gun advocates and people opposed to drag queen performances for children as the culprits.

Club Q had been scheduled to host an "All Ages" Drag Brunch on Sunday, leading some to suggest that the suspect was seeking to disrupt the event.

As it turns out, however, Aldrich is a part of the LGBT community and identifies as "Non-Binary" according to court documents filed by his lawyers.


The court has been asked to use Aldrich's preferred pronouns, They/Them.



The media is now scrambling to adjust their narratives, completely blindsided by the development and made to look utterly foolish. Some pundits are arguing that the suspect's gender identity is "fake" and that he is attempting to avoid hate crime charges. This makes little sense - If convicted of five murders, Aldrich would spend the rest of his life in prison regardless of the murders being labeled a hate crime. Faking a gender identity does nothing to help him.

Being non binary isn't mutually exclusive with committing a hate crime. The aggressive, often violent conservative rhetoric surrounding drag shows and the LGBT community in general may not have directly caused this shooting. But it certainly didn't help prevent it either.

Society and family failed.

This human needed significant help. And to be locked away - for his safety as well as that of society.

And that didn’t happen.

There is no such thing as “personal responsibility” with people that are SO broken they murder innocent people. They don’t CARE ABOUT PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY.

You misunderstand the concept of personal responsibility. Not so hard to credit, as our society has come to lean on the idea of blame passing.

However, this individual is solely responsible for his actions. Thus, seeking to blame others is a deflection.

HE did it, thus HE deserves whatever punishment society meets out. NO ONE ELSE!

End of story.

The more important question is why does the left wing media alway’s assume MAGA is responsible? At some point you have to realize when your reputation precedes you. MAGA has a bad image and for good reason.

Nowhere have I said that he does not deserve the consequences for his actions.

But to pretend that this shooting happened in a vacuum is ridiculous.

There were countless opportunities to prevent these murders that were missed.

That’s a failure.

You can walk around saying “personal responsibility” as much as you want - but it doesn’t negate the failure of the family and society to remove the threat this individual posed to other humans.

He should have been locked up - either in jail or for mental health services - LONG before he ever set a single foot in this club. AND HE NEVER should have been able to buy a gun.
 
The OP is going to trash gay and trans people as long as he posts here. His whole goal is to create hate.
 
Are you 100% sure he is "non-binary" and isn't mocking the courts and society?
Irrelevant.

Just read this thread to see the changes in narrative from "It's all MAGA's fault" to "He's a poor victim of his crazy family".

I love it when things fall into place and you can watch the scrambling real-time.
 
I assume any act of terror is MAGA or ISIS until further information comes along.
Of course, you do...just like the rest of the MAGA haters, like the media echo chamber.

Less hateful people will wait for that "further information" to come along before making judgements.

Is this thread an example of waiting for further information before making judgements? What motivation would Aldrich have to claim to be non-binary in court filings?

Oh come on. Surely you know how important pronouns are to some people these days. Seriously.

It certainly seems important to the right this morning...
 
It's comical to argure with the left. Even if you're right you're wrong. LOL

Look at it as the denouement to another false political narrative peddled by a certain Party.
