Oh, if only he had shot himself first. Cue the "was the gun legal or legally obtained" discussion directly after the "thoughts and prayers" for the surviving 5 year old with gun shot wounds.

Im struck by the name of this thread, " Another shooting rocks the world." I mean Im neither rocked, shocked, dismayed, surprised, or flabbergasted. Why anyone would be is beyond me.

[Queen K]

It's not "I'm too Jaded to notice Shootings", if you want that one, start it.

[Queen K]

Let's worry about whether the gun or guns were legal or not, shall we? Thoughts and prayers.

What was a gun doing there anyways? How was it obtained will be the sticking point.

Suspect pleads guilty in attack that killed 5 at Colorado Springs LGBTQ+ nightclub

Aldrich originally was charged with more than 300 state counts, including murder and hate crimes. The U.S. Justice Department is considering pursuing federal hate crime charges, according to a senior law enforcement official familiar with the matter who spoke to AP on condition of anonymity to discuss the ongoing case.

The attack at Club Q came over a year after Aldrich had been arrested for threatening their grandparents and vowing to become “the next mass killer.” But, charges were ultimately dropped in that case.

SNIP

Aldrich hinted at plans to carry out violent attacks at least a year before the Club Q assault. In June 2021, Aldrich's grandparents told authorities that they were warned not to stand in the way of a plan to stockpile guns, ammo, body armor and a homemade bomb to become “the next mass killer.” Aldrich was then arrested after a standoff with SWAT officers that was livestreamed on Facebook and the evacuation of 10 nearby homes, telling officers “If they breach, I’m a f----ing blow it to holy hell!” Aldrich eventually surrendered.

However, the charges against Aldrich were thrown out in July 2022 after Aldrich’s mother and grandparents, the victims in the case, refused to cooperate with prosecutors, evading efforts to serve them with subpoenas to testify, according to court documents unsealed after the shooting.

They evaded efforts to serve them with subpoenas, when he'd vowed to become "the next mass killer". Seriously! With that sort of threat, one would expect efforts to continue until successful.

When asked whether the attack was motivated by hate, Aldrich said only that was “completely off base.” Aldrich's attorneys, who have not disputed Aldrich's role in the shooting, have also pushed back on hate being the reason.

Some survivors who listened to the recorded phone calls saw Aldrich's comments as an attempt to avoid the death penalty which still exists in the federal system. https://www.castanet.net/news/World/433 ... lub#433750
