The crazed transgender dad who shot up a high school hockey game in Rhode Island threatened to go “BERSERK” in a trans-rights rant just a day before he massacred two family members and injured three others.

Robert Dorgan, who also identified as Roberta Esposito, killed himself after opening fire at the Pawtucket ice rink where his son was playing on Monday afternoon — less than a week after another transgender gunman shot up a school in one of Canada’s deadliest mass shootings.

The night before the bloodshed, the 56-year-old dad — who underwent gender reassignment surgery in 2020 — made an ominous post on X in anger at someone calling trans Democratic Rep. Sarah McBride a man.

“Keep bashing us. But do not wonder why we Go BERSERK,” Dorgan wrote in the chilling post.

Police believe Dorgan, too, was targeting his own family when he wreaked havoc at the ice rink following years of heated court disputes over his identity.

The fatal victims of Monday’s shooting include the mother of Dorgan’s hockey player son and the student athlete’s sibling, multiple sources told WPRI.

What does everyone think mentally ill people, who mutilate themselves, will do to others?

Yet another seriously mentally ill degenerate acts out their self-loathing and jealousy of normal people.

I could swear that I saw this exact person at a hotel swimming pool a few years ago when I was visiting family for a wedding. Same physique, same face, hair, had tattoos. He was a nutty guy then trying way too hard to be a little girly, except for his voice was still quite masculine. He was talking so loudly that you didn’t need to be near him to hear him. He totally creeped me out.

From the article: ...who underwent gender reassignment surgery...

No. No gender was reassigned. Robert Dorgan was born male, remained male for his entire life, and died male. Any surgeries were cosmetic or mutilation.

Mentally ill. You attack self and after that sometimes you decide to attack others. You murder others then sometimes decide to kill yourself. Sick.

Agreed. Terms like "transgender" and "reassigned gender" are false terms. We had it right years ago and should use the old terms. The correct terms are "cross dresser" and "transvestite".

Mentally ill people self diagnose to isolate root cause of their mental health, then identify solutions.
Mentally ill folks then enable the mentally ill.

What could go wrong???

Sex, in humans, is biological and immutable.

Gender is a subjective classification, like race, and can mean anything anyone wants it to mean.

That also means nobody requires surgery to change one’s gender, but Big Med and Deep State always leave that part out for some reason.

And if this guy was threatening to go postal, did anyone try to have him sectioned?

We have involuntary civil commitment laws in this country for a reason.

If the guy I saw is the same dude as this killer, then he only got a boob job. He still had his wanker as it was obvious from his tankini bathing suit he had on in the pool.

A dangerous, sometimes lethal "cock--tail" indeed:
Mentally ill ... seriously mentally ill
Delusional
Hyped up on high-powered mind- and body-altering drugs.

Obviously the families should sue the surgeons and therapists of Robert Dorgan knowing that he was a fully unstable individual, yet proceeded with his abomination.

Also tormented by evil spirits, aka demons.

The ‘transgender’ thing is a portal to the dark side. It should be outlawed with all deliberate speed, for the common good of humanity.

Those laws depend on individuals, often victims, accepting a reality that they can't accept and then taking personal risks to flag their tormentor.

I firmly believe that much of the push about "gender identity" to adolescents is to get them to "come out of the closet" before they get married and/or have children. When repressed symptoms of mental illness snap, they tend to have extreme consequences.

X is a social media account.

This guy didn’t do it in private.

Did anyone drop a dime to the cops about the guy on X threatening to go postal?

Inquiring minds want to know.

I should also add, stay away from two eggs over easy with a sausage in the middle. It just wouldn’t be a good option for you right now. ;)

Gender is fixed. Race is fixed.

Both are biological in nature

Race is actually hybridization. Hybrids of all species exist. The strong hybrids survive and the weaker, unfit fail.
