MMA-fighter-turned-porn-actor Aaron Franklin Brink had an immediate reaction when he learned his 22-year-old son had been accused of slaughtering five people and injuring 18 others last weekend in a mass shooting at a Colorado Springs nightspot catering to the LGBTQ community.

A defense attorney called Sunday night and told Brink, who lives in Southern California, that Anderson Lee Aldrich was under arrest for the massacre at Club Q.

“They started telling me about the incident, a shooting involving multiple people,” Brink said Tuesday in an interview outside his San Diego home with CBS 8. “And then I go on to find out it’s a gay bar. I said, ‘God, is he gay?’ I got scared, ‘Shit, is he gay?’ And he’s not gay, so I said, ‘Phhhewww…’”

I started to write a multi-paragraph exegesis on my thoughts about the father, but decided it'd be better to remove most of the swearing and just write the rest:

Fucking asshole! VILE doesn't even begin to cover it.

North Carolina-

One person hospitalized after Black Friday shooting inside Walmart in Lumberton

https://www.wral.com/one-person-hospita ... /20597454/
Lumberton police officers responded around 11:26 a.m. Friday at the store located at 5070 Fayetteville Road. Police said surveillance footage shows the shooter leaving the store as it was evacuated.

Minutes later, police received word that a person arrived at UNC Health Southeastern with a gunshot wound, which is not considered life threatening. Authorities are not releasing the victim's name.

Police believe the shooting happened between two people who know each other.

Authorities are working to find the shooter. Police are not releasing the name of the shooter or information about the person's identity.

Two men shot inside Greenville Mall

https://www.witn.com/2022/11/25/police- ... ille-mall/
Two men are recovering in the hospital after being shot Friday evening in the Greenville Mall, according to Greenville Police.

Officer Scott Venable told WITN’s Justin Lundy that two men were shot near the American Eagle inside the mall around 6:30 p.m. Their injuries appear to be non-life threatening.

Police said they are working off preliminary information and will not confirm if there is more than one suspect. Officials said the mall was evacuated for the investigation.

In a press conference Friday night, police added that they do not believe this was a random act. It was part of a dispute that happened at the mall.

The dad said he's a Mormon at about 20 seconds into that first posted video.

He's weird as all get out.

No, not at all. This is totally normal behavior for an American dead-beat dad who has not seen son since the kid was 10 years old. This is what we are known for-- American Exceptionalism. Your kid just murdered 5 people, but thank God *phew*, he is not gay.

Club Q incident probably deserved its own thread, but here ya go.

https://www.kktv.com/2022/11/26/custome ... ub-q-hero/
Customers nearly overwhelmed bartenders at Atrevida Beer Co. on Friday. The bar, located in Northeast Colorado Springs is co-owned by Richard Fierro and his wife. Fierro was praised by police officers for charging into the fire of the Club Q gunman, who killed five people in last week’s tragic shooting, and helping to disarm him.

Fierro survived the shooting but his daughter’s boyfriend Raymond Green Vance did not. Since the shooting customers in the community have been able to patronize the bar’s online store, but until Friday it remained closed.

Hundreds of people came to the bar Friday afternoon and almost all of them tell me they were there to support Fierro’s heroics. Some even came from out of state and made a detour in their vacation plans to come to Atrevida

Have to admit, I'd devote eyeball time to watch a round table of that dad, DJT Jr, and Herschel Walker discussing *anything* with an attempt to be coherent.

And justice shall be done.

5 shot on Bourbon Street early Sunday, NOPD says

https://www.wafb.com/2022/11/27/5-shot- ... nopd-says/
Five people were shot on Bourbon Street early Sunday (Nov. 27), marring what had been a festive celebration on the weekend of the Bayou Classic football game.

New Orleans police said the gunfire broke out around 1:49 a.m. in the 200 block of Bourbon Street, leaving multiple victims wounded in the French Quarter. The NOPD said the victims included three males and two females, but did not disclose their ages.

NOPD spokesman Gary Scheets said none of the victims’ injuries are considered life-threatening.

Police said an argument took place before an unknown male suspect “produced a gun and began firing into the crowd, striking multiple victims.” All five shooting victims were taken for hospital treatment by New Orleans EMS personnel, and the trauma center of University Medical Center activated emergency staff under its mass casualty event protocol.

There's always a shooting after the Bayou Classic, either on Bourbon or Canal. It's tradition.

The man accused of killing 10 people and injuring more than a dozen at a grocery store in a predominantly Black neighborhood of Buffalo, New York, pleaded guilty Monday to state charges of murder, domestic terrorism, and attempted murder as a hate crime.

Payton Gendron, a 19-year-old White man, pleaded guilty Monday to domestic act of terrorism motivated by hate, murder in the first degree, attempted murder in the second degree as a hate crime and a weapons possession charge.

He only spoke in court to answer yes when asked if he understood the charges, and to plead guilty. He also spoke to answer questions about his education.
