Fucking bullshit. This is heartbreaking. To all the heroes who got the shooter, may they never buy a drink ever again.
GreatOdinsTaint
Meanwhile on Fox News, "We don't have any idea who could have possibly encouraged this person to engage in violence...so random!"
ElusiveThing
Terrible. Just fucking terrible. When will there be sensible regulation? FFS.
RockKickass
When are victims going to start suing Tucker like Sandy Hook style
itsjustplaid
Just senseless. So tired of these hateful fucks ruining others' lives for no reason.
Clarysage
I wonder which way the shooter votes? Actually wait no I don't.

I'm too afraid to go clubbing now
Allrighty
A motive has not been given? Well, let's check 4chan for the inevitable manifesto...

Just check Perjury Traitor Greed twitter and you'll have your answer. She keeps putting targets on LGBT folks.
MoltarsGhost
As a Coloradoan born and raised, Im so fucking sick of my state being associated with mass shootings. Hell Im just sick of mass shootings.
Faloopsinarb
Just standard Republicanism. Nothing new.

This is heartbreaking. My daughter goes to this club. She loves it.

This is indefensible. Fuck anyone who tries.

Quick!!! Don't do anything!

I wonder when the GOP will call for arming drag queens.

[Rick from PawnStars voice] Best I can do is thoughts and prayers

Never. They want LBGTQ+ people dead. They wouldn't get any protection.
LCDC
It’s Colorado Springs. We are a military town with 5 bases. Almost everyone has a gun. Even queens. You are dumb to f around here

All it takes to stop a bad guy with a gun is good gays...

Notable that the police had to announce that it wasn't an officer involved.
TouchMyInfection
I believe they're talking about in regards to the injuries to the suspect.
SgtPiddles
The republican party did this.

What a horrible start to Trans day of Remembrance ?️⚧️?️⚧️???
MapleSyrupMafia
Perjury Traitor Greed, Boebert, etc... are all putting targets on LGBT people... This kind of shit isn't an accident or a "lone wolf" thing>
MapleSyrupMafia
it's some fascist bullshit being pushed by right wing politicians, then radicalized idiots go out there and murder people. But don't>
MapleSyrupMafia
worry, they'll get removed from office and punished accordingly... /s

Fuck prayers. Send help.
orbitn
And a rope for the killers neck. I'm starting to change my opinion on the death penalty. And I hate that.
orbitn
But if violence is all these people understand, "compassion" in the form of life imprisonment is wasted on them and answering violence with>
orbitn
violence is the only way to communicate with them. The won't be educated. They won't be repentant.

Let's say it together
ImALagomorphSam
Thoughts and prayers have not prevented one single mass shooting because thoughts never become actions and prayers are never answered.
Marikhen
Thoughts and prayers from a bunch of THOTs and players, and not the sort you want to meet at a nice/good party either. >_>
kojenk
Dont forget "lone wolf"

"Fox News sends their thoughts and prayers. Moving on to our next segment: How drag queens indoctrinate your children into wokeness."

I dont know what god the U.S revere, but though and prayer seem to work everywhere but in the U.S/s
TalkingSnake
About one billion catholics prayed for the health and life of pope John Paul II. He still died.

Thou shall not kill? I hope Hell really exists so these christian hypocrites can suffer for their numerous crimes.
SnarkyJester
It doesn't and won't. Not for people. I can't say they won't get to experience Heaven but if they don't that's their punishment.
Marikhen
That one doesn't actually count as folks are constantly breaking it. Hell, you break it when using antibacterial soap! /s(arcasm/tupid)
NonstopRampage
If it does, they better count the days between when they get there, and when *I* do.
Jackrabbitry
Apparently you don't understand. They think because they attend Church, they will be forgiven. 0 accountability.
datphone777365
consistency from that god? oglaf put it best.
Steps1000
Was the person who did this a Christian? It doesn't say in this post.
YouwontlikewhatIhavetosay
General assumption that if anyone hates gays, it must be Christians. Could've been a scorned lover. But I doubt we'll hear about that.
ArkoneAxon
The Florida nightclub shooting was a muslim... who was also apparently a closeted homosexual.
Murder0fCr0ws
Easy assumption is religious folk. They hate people who differ from them.
SnarkyJester
Not all of us do. I wouldn't call myself religious though.
ArkoneAxon
In the Florida case, it was a religious guy who hated HIMSELF, and projected it onto others.
butthurtnevergetsbetter
It takes some mental gymnastics to pretend this wasn't a hate crime. 5x premeditated murder and however many were there as attempted.
mushroomking
I live less than a mile from this bar I'm amazed I didn't hear anything. Been talking to my fam about it all day :(
LCDC
I think the dude is legit crazy. He was arrested in 2019 when his mom called the cops on him for threatening to kill her with a bomb he made
randomwalrus
Yeah, but they were going to have a brunch. So, they deserved it. /s
spiceass9000
Is anyone claiming it wasn’t? Like it clearly was
BakingMaybes
Whether it's a hate crime depends on the motive of the shooter, which there hasn't been any news on yet
OseaDidNothingWrong
Oh so it's just a regular act of mass murder, not a hate-motivated act of mass murder. Thanks for clarifying, Nazi.
Ikwilstroopwaffels
Fuck off nazi.
Bignholy
They shot at a mass of people, so it's not a personal killing. I wonder why they shot into the group? What could they possibly share,
Bignholy
across the entire population of the club, that would make them all valid targets to a spree killer? A mystery for the ages, I am sure.
GerbilHereReportingLiveFromRichardGeresAss
An LGBTQ bar attacked by a terrorist on Transgender Day of Remembrance? Gee wizz, what could be the motive there?
Pally01
They wouldn't give him free breadsticks? /s
NooPogodi
I agree that we should wait for confirmation, but we all know that a mass shooting at a gay club is unlikely to be anything but.
BakingMaybes
Yeah, it's likely, don't know why people are getting upset about a statement of fact about the way hate crimes actually are prosecuted
the1chaos
Because it's incredibly self-evident, and asking to wait for evidence feels like a preamble to denial. It may not be, but it feels like it.
wakeforthesun
But there is news of the motive, and there is evidence of the motive. It might be circumstantial, but it’s still evidence.
wakeforthesun
Also public reactions aren’t the same thing as a trial. Right now, a community feels attacked, and we need to acknowledge that
ImGoingToGoFallAsleepOnABench
Has there even BEEN a shooting at an LBGTQ bar that wasn't a hate crime?
crazyspelling
Yah, Pulse Nightclub in 2016. Dude claimed it was islamic terrorism but his gay lovers at the club said it was revenge.
DefinitelyNotDownvoting
Islamic terrorism(hates gays), that was in the closet himself. How is that not a hate crime?
johnvictor
Probably, some dipshit with a dispute and pistol. But let's be honest here, given the current social climate, it'd be a good bet on why.
