Deranged transgender gunman Robert Dorgan was cousins with his ex-wife, Rhonda Dorgan, whom he gunned down along with their son at a high school hockey game.
The twisted relationship emerged after records showed the killer had the same name as his murdered ex and her parents, who were also seriously injured in his rampage Monday, according to the Providence Journal.
A deep dive then showed that he and Rhonda were first cousins once removed when they tied the knot in 1992.

At first, the reason for the shooter having the same last name as his ex-wife’s parents was not immediately clear, but the outlet delved into their family tree via the 1950 Census.
Edward Dorgan and his wife, Eva Dorgan, lived in Smithfield, Rhode Island, at the time with their two sons, Raymond Dorgan and Robert J. Dorgan.
Robert J. Dorgan was the father of the trans shooter Robert Dorgan, and Raymond Dorgan fathered Gerald Dorgan, who was a victim in the shooting and remains in critical condition with his wife, Linda.
Gerald and Linda were the parents of Rhonda Dorgan, who would marry the Robert Dorgan who massacred his family before divorcing him in 2021.

Where does the redneck go to find his future bride?
A family reunion.
As a hillbilly myself, 😆😆😆😆😆

You’re really on a….roll
😆
And they know they are distorting the truth in the news.
And they know the BS is a lie such as “people are afraid it could be local criminals in masks when they are told by ICR agents to stop.” They know NO ONE mistakes people with “ICE” or “FBI” in lettering in front and back for being teens trying to mug someone. They know they are lying.
That is a second cousin relationship. Not all that unheard of and not twisted. The Post is stretching.
And?
People are upset over the dumbest things anymore.
Agree. Post making the relationship something that it isn’t.
It deflects from the real issue.
This will be their talking point now.
Keepin’ the family together. Just look at the royals. 😳
It’s the banjos you don’t hear that you gotta worry about.
That’s because trans are part of this whole LGBT crowd.
And they are deemed to be special. So the media will not discuss whether there are issues with people being transgender. They will not discuss whether putting cross sex hormones in your body can cause violence or any other issues.
good one !

My cousins used to sing that song at family reunions. I have no idea how they remembered all the words.
Everyday, that story becomes a little more twisted than the day before.
Better than Deliverance is “ Southern Comfort “.
The Cajun swampers were a lot scarier and it lacks Dickey’s barely disguised homoeroticism.
Plus it has Powers Booth
“””That is a second cousin relationship. Not all that unheard of and not twisted. The Post is stretching.”””
You are making the common mistake of calling the child of your first cousin a SECOND COUSIN.
No, the child of your first cousin is a FIRST COUSIN, ONCE REMOVED.
Doesn’t matter. It STILL is not a close relationship. No where bans marriages that close.
