Club Q bartender: Shooting was ‘aimed directly at my community’
The Hill ^ | 11/21/2022 | ZACH SCHONFELD

A bartender at Club Q in Colorado Springs, Colo., said early Monday that he believes the gunman who committed a mass shooting there over the weekend was targeting the LGBTQ community.

During an appearance on “CNN This Morning,” Michael Anderson noted that the gunman came to one of only two gay clubs in the city.

“I don’t know what was wrong with this man,” Anderson said. “I don’t know why he needed to act in this way, but he obviously had some some feelings towards — I don’t know if it was transgender people, gays, lesbians, I don’t know — Club Q is a safe place for everybody, everybody in the spectrum of the rainbow.”

“So I don’t know who he was targeting, but I definitely feel that it was something aimed directly at my community, yet again another time in our country,” he continued.

“Will he eat his words if he is wrong?”

He promises to eat SOMEONE.

I haven’t seen this much genuflecting since The Pulse shooting.

What is “my community?”

First, my community is me, myself and I.

Second, “my community” is my family.

Third, “my community” is my church.

Fourth, “my community” is my friends and neighbors.

I would say the U.S. Army is my community, but I no longer know them.

The people who have traditionally been angriest at the gay community are those who are upset at their own inability to break free of that lifestyle/addiction.

Non-gays aren't invested enough to really give a damn one way or another.

” I have found zip about this guys views about sex-based identity politics”

Don’t worry, they’re busy making up a story right now.

Why would someone hate the bartender community?

Fed up with weak drinks and bar/house brands.;-)

I have found zip about this guys views about sex-based identity politics, if there were blogs and posts full of hateful opinions, wouldn’t that have surfaced by now?

The Feds haven’t had enough time to build the internet backtrail yet, c’mon man. They have to erase everything first.

Usually these gay killers are gays themselves. Let’s wait and see.

This guy brought in a rifle, not a handgun.
= = =

... AND a handgun. And two people at the club charged the guy, took his handgun, and beat him with it. He was lying on the floor when the cops arrived. Note that the news is calling them heros.

Yes, heros, but aren’t the parents who rescued their kids at the Texas school heros also (even if they are not Qs)?

Eff him, and eff his effing community. Too bad an errant meteor’s Sheets of Flame didn’t turn them into Pillows of Salt, or whatever it was.

Suspect was arrested June 2021 after threatening his mother with a homemade bomb and other weapons. Charged on two counts of felony menacing and three counts of first-degree kidnapping in 2021. The district attorney’s office told The Colorado Springs Gazette that no formal charges were pursued in that case and the records have been sealed for unspecified reasons. His Grandfather is a Californian Republican Assemblyman. The one spin I am seeing is that the suspect is the grandson of a “MAGA Republican”.

Co Springs has only two gay bars?

Regardless, my money is on a love angle. Shooter was hot for someone and got rejected. So, he came in to kill.

It is either love or money at the root of most murders.

People say the dumbest things.

“I don’t know what was wrong with this man,”

Hmm, maybe his history of mental illness and violence might give you a clue.

But you just said, “I don’t know” 3 times in succession, so, which is it?

You get credit for coming the closest to the needed conversation. Yes the discussion should be centered around those towns of Old Testament fame, Sodom and Gomorrah that were literally obliterated from existence for openly defying God’s law.

Part of the story takes place a good distance away as Lot’s wife unthinkingly looked back upon the scene and was turned into a pillar of salt so the story goes. Since that time no city has since been found on that same ground as the earlier two cities.

So don’t blame God for your condition, which is in your hands to change, if you chose the right doctor. Choose wisely. Or in the long run, suffer the consequences.

...and of course Penelope knows personally that any reference to YOU in my comment doesn’t really address YOU personally but those who happen to be under God’s distorted rainbow.
