Gosh, he could be hearing voices.
I suspect another case of an INCEL going over the edge.

Yeah, the voices of right-wing politicians for the last few years hollering how gays and drag queens are bad and evil. Without those, he'd be just another nutjob who shoots up a grocery store or the school he used to attend - but no, his grievance was gays.

I do think it's important to remember that crime has generally been on a downard pattern for several decades, and our country is safer today than it has been for most of the last thirty years. In fact, the crime rate today is about half of what it was in 1990. It's a well-known phenomenon that the general public tends to believe crime is up even if it is down; part of that is because we hear about so much more crime today than we did in the past.

I am anxious to see the next 2 years on that curve, 2020-22.

This is not mentioned on Nat'l News that most shot were hetero.
But, the shooter prob didn't care.
I knew if the shooter was in the hospital they prob beat on him and kicked him!
Turns out, did you hear, a drag queen was near and Rich told her to kick the gun away and to kick the guy...
so what happened? She had heals on and went for his face and head, Rich said!
Whoa. Who knows the pain he's in now.
This is more for people coming here to read from other places.

So sad, Rich's daughter's boyfriend was killed.
I wonder if they will be able to handle the crowds at their bar/brewery now?

What does INCEL mean?

"involuntarily celibate" a women-hating self-pitying name for guys who think they are entitled to get laid and women turn them down. A reddit subform group. Usually hate-radicalized online.

No wonder I had no idea. Thank you.
Ha, Imagine threatening his mom with a bomb.
He will go under a cuckoo test by a court appointed shrink.

A nephew of mine goes there, has friends there, is very upset about it.

Seems unfair these folks are just trying to socialize, have a good time.

In the Pueblo paper, "It makes me feel angry along with sadness, ... am sure the mainstream conservative Christianity had something to do with this. Colorado Springs is sort of a hotbed for that- a conservative community..."

This divides us. My nephew is only 22. I try to save my energy for him.

Wife woke me up at 3 am crying because she didn't know if our nephew was alive or not. That's about all I know.

Grateful for the heroes. Saw this dangerous punk on that video he made while taunting cops outside his bedroom window a year ago. Looked willing to blow them all up.

Mental well-being needs to become a priority imo.

From this article in the Gazette, if true, it sure sounds like he comes from a troubled background, and no surprise that his family would not have sounded the alarm.

Accused Club Q shooter changed name at 15; dad was MMA and porn star, mom had arrest record

What a mother the shooter had! She has so many warrants out for her arrest
in Calif and 1 in TX re arson! And an absent father that was in the Porn business.
I guess this morning he goes to court.
Thank you, Rich F., thank you for your Army service, too!
Thanks suzco for a great link.
