In Colorado Springs, county officials vowed to resist "red flag" laws that aim to keep guns out of the hands of dangerous individuals

The suspect in Saturday’s mass shooting at an LGBTQ nightclub in Colorado Springs had had a previous violent incident, leaving one state politician to question whether the state’s “red flag” laws had been properly implemented.

Colorado law allows courts to, in some circumstances, seize weapons from an individual if the person is deemed to be a safety risk to themselves or others. The suspect in the shooting, Aderson Lee Aldrich, had a notable encounter with police last year. According to a bulletin released by the El Paso County Sheriff’s Office, in June of 2021, police engaged in a standoff with Aldrich at a home in El Paso County. Aldrich’s mother told police that her son was threatening her with a “homemade bomb, multiple weapons, and ammunition,” and that she did not know where he was. The report prompted law enforcement to evacuate homes in the area while they located and negotiated with Aldrich. According to the bulletin, no explosive was identified, but Aldrich was arrested and charged with felony menacing and first degree kidnapping. The case was ultimately dropped.

Nevertheless, Aldrich is the suspected gunman in a shooting late Saturday night. At least five people were killed and dozens injured when a gunman carrying a long rifle — authorities have not released more specifics about the weapon — opened fire inside the Colorado Spring nightclub. The shooting took place the night before the nation’s annual Transgender Day of Remembrance. Local officials have indicated they suspect the shooting is a “hate attack.”

This earlier incident has prompted questions as to why law enforcement did not invoke existing red flag laws in order to disarm Aldrich. Sen. John Hickelooper, a Democrat from Colorado, called the lack of implementation of red flag laws in the case a “failure by any measure,” in a Tuesday appearance on CNN.

Winning Over Rural America!

 


 As the nation is reeling from the tragic shooting in a Colorado Springs LGBTQ nightclub, Herschel Walker has released a campaign ad targeting transgender athletes.

LGBTQ rights groups called on Senate candidate Herschel Walker to stop running a campaign ad in Georgia’s Senate runoff that refers to transgender women and girls as “biological males” and calls for them to be banned from competing in sports.

The release of Walker’s ad comes just two days after a deadly shooting at an LGBTQ nightclub in Colorado Springs that killed people  and injured at least 25 others.

According to Brooke Migdon at THE HILL

In Walker's ad, he appears alongside former University of Kentucky swimmer Riley Gaines,  an outspoken advocate for policies and legislation to keep transgender women and girls out of female sports. At this year’s NCAA championships, Gaines tied with former University of Pennsylvania swimmer Lia Thomas for fifth place in the women’s 200-meter freestyle finals.

Gaines said “I worked so hard — 4 a.m. practices to be the best — but my senior year I was forced to compete against a biological male." Gaines came in 2nd in that competition. “That’s unfair and wrong,” Walker then says directly to the camera.

Sarah Kate Ellis, the president and chief executive of the LGBTQ media advocacy organization GLAAD, said Monday: "Airing this kind of rubbish under the guise of a political campaign was already deplorable enough—but in the wake of Saturday night’s massacre at Club Q, it’s simply unconscionable."

“There’s an undeniable nexus between this kind of baseless and hateful rhetoric and the violence leveled against our community this weekend in Colorado Springs and the violence being perpetrated against marginalized communities all across this country, Shame on Herschel Walker — and shame on every politician using LGBTQ lives as political props.” Nadine Bridges, executive director of the nonprofit One Colorado, said Monday in a statement.

Walker either has horrible timing or he's just a horrible person. What is the purpose of airing this anti-LGBTQ ad now? Is it to appeal to the Republican base that are supporting him? Georgia and the nation doesn't need a lecture from Herschel Walker. Walker has shown everyone who he really is and his hateful rhetoric has no place in our society. Let's send him packing!
