Friday afternoon around 2:00 p.m., deputies with the El Paso County Sheriff’s Offices responded to reports of a bomb threat on Rubicon Drive in the Lorson Ranch neighborhood, just south of the Colorado Springs Airport.
The suspect, 21-year old Anderson Lee Aldrich, refused to comply with deputies’ orders to surrender. It was reported to the Sherrif’s Office that he had a homemade bomb, multiple weapons, and ammunition.
A Tactical Support Unit, which includes the Regional Explosives Unit was called in. Around 10 homes were evacuated in the surrounding area, while an emergency text notification was sent out to homes within a 1/4-mile radius of the address.
The Regional Explosives Unit cleared both homes and did not find any explosive devices.
At around 6:00 p.m., the suspect was taken into custody and has been booked into the El Paso County Jail. Aldrich faces two counts of Felony Menacing and three counts of First-Degree Kidnapping.
That was 2021. So why was he on the loose in 2022?
While this is still a developing story, Colorado embraced elements of the pro-crime agenda, including eliminating bail, which means setting criminals loose as fast as they’re arrested. This pro-crime policy, euphemistically described as “criminal justice reform”, helped spike massive crime waves in urban areas.
Colorado also cut its prison population by a third. Another COVID pro-crime policy that helped goose crime rates.
While it’s unknown if these particular pro-crime measures factored into Aldrich being on the loose after last year’s incident, it’s a possibility to consider especially within the larger context of rising crime in Colorado.
GOP answer to AOC and others attacking on this issue: “This is exactly what ‘Defunding the Police’ looks like.”
.
Dem Goal is to empty the Prisons, and the army of Soros DA’s was the one make sure the Dem Soldiers are left on the street to intimidate and Riot at will.
Soros and Obama believe the state of living has to be reduced with necessary pain to spur the desire for Socialism.

I asked this question as soon as the murderer’s arrest for felony terroristic threats against his mother made the news. Were the charges dropped/why? Was he out on bail/why?
I wonder if the mom refused to press charges.
.
Remember they said to drive or wear nice things is a Privileged and antiquated mindset.

Sort of but not really.
The police did not decide to release him, the legal system did.
This is what happens when the voters do not pay attention to whom they elect as AG.
” Were the charges dropped/why?”
Dismissed. Per law, sealed.
EXACTLY!!!!!!!!
this NUT should already have been in jail!!!
but LIBERALS let him out!!!!!!
and he did EXACTLY what you would expect a crazy criminal to do when you let them out... HE COMMITTED ANOTHER CRIME!!!
This is 100% liberals fault!
No bomb found drops that charge to a misdemeanor. DAs have limited funds to prosecute. As far as I know, this DA is a pretty good guy, but there are always fiscal considerations. If that county is anything like mine, they’re still trying to clear the Covid backlog.
“While it’s unknown if these particular pro-crime measures factored into Aldrich being on the loose after last year’s incident, it’s a possibility to consider especially within the larger context of rising crime in Colorado.”
This renders the story as fake news.
He was trying to get his life back together. Planned on going to college to become a rap artist.
Isn’t really a qustion of why he wasn’t in jail - in todays world that’s the standard anymore. Felonies or not don’t seem to matter.
Since they didn’t find bombs or explosives the only thing I see in the report is the bomb threat and rrefuing to surrender immediately. But it doesn’t say he made the threats or that they could prove he did. Someone could have claimed he made threats. But with no charges and sealed record etc says something was wrong with the case.
Notice how little background information is coming out on the guy. The left was spinning that he’s on the right with no evidence what’s his voter registration say about his political party? Notice how fast Paul Pelosi story died as it became more and more obvious his attacker was a lefty. I think he was a registered Green Party member.
I dont trust the media to get even close to the truth
The cops knew he was nuts. Somebody boinked the pooch.
They didn’t want to feed him

“Defund the police” in this context doesn’t mean that specific action alone. It is shorthand for all the Leftist actions which undermine maintenance of law and order. Reducing police funding, no cash bail, Soros DAs who take actions that can only be described as promoting anarcho-tyranny, we could probably come up with some others.
CovidBS-19 sure was a Magic Wand for the Socialist Deep State!
*Emptied prisons, inflicting even more mayhem upon on we serfs. (Numerous examples, including this current case.)
*Job losses, business closures, harming the Middle Class.
*More people added to the welfare rolls. (See above.)
*No schooling for our kids for 2 years; making the current crop of mush-heads dumber than they were to start with and easily brainwashed into Socialism.
*Nursing home disasters that should NOT have happened, thinning the herd of the last Generation that KNEW what Government was up to all along.
*Used us all as Lab Rats while enriching Big Pharma and lining Socialist Democrat and RINO pockets.
*Crippling the world economies by flushing billions of imaginary dollars into the system resulting in inflation, again, aimed at the Middle Class.
*And, last, but not least - removed President Trump and replaced him with the dumbest puppet on the planet to continue the destruction of America and the world, ushering in One World Government.
It’d say, as plans go, this one reaped more than the Socialist Deep State could ever HOPE that it would!
*Removes Tinfoil Hat* (Or, should I keep it on?) ;)
Please keep it on.
