Club Q shooting...
« on: November 20, 2022, 07:42:33 AM »
There's already a militantly gay teacher (teaches "English" but the books read like "alternate sex ed") in my area who is blaming conservative media... Any idea yet who the attacker is?

Well apparently there was a shooting at a gay nightclub last night with 5 dead 18 injured. Shooter is in custody.

So far zip info on shooter or motive but the AP already knows who to blame

Quote
A shooter opened fire in a gay nightclub late Saturday, killing five people and wounding 18 in the latest mass shooting to befall the country in a year in which anti-gay rhetoric has been amped up among extremists.

Colorado Springs is a city of about 480,000 located about 70 miles (112 kilometers) south of Denver that is home to the U.S. Air Force Academy. The city has long been an epicenter of American evangelicalism. Focus on the Family, a prominent evangelical Christian ministry, is based in Colorado Springs.

It is unclear how the suspect was injured, though early reports suggest the gunmen was subdued by patrons inside the club, which had been sponsoring a drag show earlier in the night.

If it was “right wing extremists” the body count would be a lot higher.


They actually know how to shoot unlike the wind up toy soyboy betas the Feebs always groom/hire.

IIRC the last two, could be more can't remember, such events were done by a Muslim shooter.
Be interesting see what the AP prints if that is the same in this case. Think they're actually say sorry, we knee jerked blamed the wrong people AGAIN?

Even if it's a gay relationship gone wrong, it's still going to the fault of Donald Trump/NRA/Conservatives/Fox News.

Reporting AR-15 "style" rifle.
The usual suspects are screaming for a ban

Colorado Springs gay club shooter, 22, used an AR-15-style rifle to kill FIVE and injure 18 before being taken down by patrons: Was on authorities radar after being arrested for a bomb threat last year

Nice how they pointed out that those scary Evangelicals are looming and lurking in the area. In civilized countries, you have to pass a background check before you can have hatey Christian hate-beliefs.

Why is it that "aw-thaw-rih-tays" feel such a driving compulsion to make idiotic statements in the wake of events such as this?

From the original link (to the heavy article:

Quote
Police Chief Adrian Vasquez said in a November 20, 2022, news conference that police are “working tirelessly” to make sure justice is achieved.

“Club Q is a safe haven for our LGBTQ citizens,” Vasquez said, adding that all citizens have a right to feel safe in Colorado Springs.

Chief Vasquez needs to appoint a communications officer, immediately. It boggles the mind that anyone could say -- immediately after two people were killed and 18 people were injured -- that the location is a "safe haven." The fact that he's making a statement proves conclusively that the Club Q is NOT a safe haven.

Dang!

Perhaps I need a new tin foil beanie, but I happened to notice that today (Monday) the AP article on this referred to the firearm not as an "assault weapon," not as an "AR-15-type" rifle, not even as a "military-style" rifle. They called it a "long gun."

I believe I have noticed this before, and it leaves me wondering if the left has given up on going after modern sporting rifles and have now set their sights on ALL rifles. (In for a penny, in for a pound.)

I will again say "long gun" is a good term for journalists, because it's vague enough, even they will usually get it right. It's better than hearing them identify a bolt-action .22 as an AK.
