A shooter opened fire in a gay nightclub late Saturday, killing five people and wounding 18 in the latest mass shooting to befall the country in a year in which anti-gay rhetoric has been amped up among extremists.
Colorado Springs is a city of about 480,000 located about 70 miles (112 kilometers) south of Denver that is home to the U.S. Air Force Academy. The city has long been an epicenter of American evangelicalism. Focus on the Family, a prominent evangelical Christian ministry, is based in Colorado Springs.
It is unclear how the suspect was injured, though early reports suggest the gunmen was subdued by patrons inside the club, which had been sponsoring a drag show earlier in the night.
Holy hell. It's like giving a loaded gun to a chimpanzee...
the last thing you need is rabies. You're already angry enough as it is.OTOH, there wouldn't be a tweeker left in Georgia...
BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD! SKULLS FOR THE SKULL THRONE! AND THROW SOME STEAK ON THE GRILL!

Nice how they pointed out that those scary Evangelicals are looming and lurking in the area.
Police Chief Adrian Vasquez said in a November 20, 2022, news conference that police are “working tirelessly” to make sure justice is achieved.“Club Q is a safe haven for our LGBTQ citizens,” Vasquez said, adding that all citizens have a right to feel safe in Colorado Springs.

Perhaps I need a new tin foil beanie, but I happened to notice that today (Monday) the AP article on this referred to the firearm not as an "assault weapon," not as an "AR-15-type" rifle, not even as a "military-style" rifle. They called it a "long gun."I believe I have noticed this before, and it leaves me wondering if the left has given up on going after modern sporting rifles and have now set their sights on ALL rifles. (In for a penny, in for a pound.)
I will again say "long gun" is a good term for journalists, because it's vague enough, even they will usually usually get it right. It's better than hearing them identify a bolt-action .22 as an AK.
