The crazed gunman who killed two people and critically injured three others at a high school hockey game in Rhode Island on Monday afternoon has been identified as a transgender dad who railed against anti-trans hate in family legal disputes and deranged social media rants.
Robert Dorgan, 56 — who shot four family members and a family friend before he turned the gun on himself following the deadly rampage at the Pawtucket ice rink — used the female alias Roberta Esposito, Pawtucket Police Chief Tina Goncalves said during a press conference Monday night.
“We have identified the person, the suspect, by a birth name, the birth name was Robert Dorgan,” Goncalves said. “We have also learned that the person does go by the name of Roberta, also uses the last name of Esposito.”

Arm your selves my friends, CCW, get pepper ball gun, pepper spray, bear, carry a pocket knife, a belt knife, be ready and when one of these barely human monsters try to attack you or your family or friends; let them be met by a hail of bullets fired in self defense.
Almost like they have mental issues eh?
The combination of drugs and mental illness don’t mix
One isolated incident does not a trend make!
What? What’s that? You say there has been a lot more than one? How many did you say?
Oh. I see.
Never mind.
Do we see a trend yet?? Hello???
another mentally ill man kills.
When are we going to stop pretending these people are not freaking nuts?
Transgender the Left’s favorite murderous crazies
Pic of the perp floating around got a totenkopf and SS on his left bicep, big as ****.
I was keeping track of transgender mass shootings because it seemed to be a trend, but lately there have been so many that I have lost track.

Someone please attempt to argue "this is normal. He/she just needs acceptance."
Go ahead. I dare you!
I’ve not seen nor heard one word about this the latest sicko-tran movement in the lamestream media. I wonder why.
It is to Democrats. Not only normal but admirable.
Us females have a hard enough time learning not to let our hormones get in the way; men taking female hormones is a recipe for disaster.
I’ve wondered if the hormones aggravate the mental issues further.
Many of the transgenders are angry and hostile, because they are nuts.
I had a good friend who was pitching technology products to pharmaceutical companies. At a meeting with top executives, they were told that one executive, John, had become “Patricia”.
Some kind of debate occurred about technology and my friend sided with Patricia.
During a break, they came to him and said he must apologize to Patricia. During the discussion, my friend in agreeing with Patricia had inadvertently called her “he” in one sentence.
“Patricia” was in the corner, fuming. My friend refused to apologize saying that when you make a major charge like that and people knew you as a he before, you have to expect an innocent mistake.
They seem to be wired to lash out at anyone who challenges their delusion.
Jacking people up with hormones and psychotropic drugs is making people into Frankensteins.
Back in the day when still an RN the few trans we saw was a warning of psychotic breaks when the hormones battle for the mind. Every single patient( not that many) had a break and needed care for about two weeks.
There were continuing education classes and neuro psych classes( elective) showing this.
I don’t know if they educate this anymore. There were also psych evals and stress tests for these patients to see if they had the ability to manage the hormonal changes, the social issues and the financing.
Now I guess they give hormones and blockers to anyone who bought lipstick and a good will dress.
Another trans freak with a gun killing people..this NEVER ends until trans ideology is named for what it is a MENTAL ILLNESS and something is done about it this is gonna keep on happening
Maybe they could fictionalize this transgender nut case and awake him a central characteristics a movie starring Jodi Foster.
OMG what is this world coming too? Again the message from society is “tolerate or else”
