Five people were killed in the attack on the LGBTQ bar.
The shooter who killed five and injured over a dozen more at an LGBTQ nightclub in Colorado Springs, Colorado, in 2022 accepted a plea deal Tuesday in connection with federal hate crimes charges and was given 55 concurrent life sentences.
Anderson Lee Aldrich pleaded guilty to each of the 74 charges of violating provisions of the Matthew Shepard And James Byrd, Jr., Hate Crimes Prevention Act of 2009 as well as gun crimes in the Club Q shooting. Aldrich initially pleaded not guilty.
United States District Judge Charlotte N. Sweeney accepted the plea agreement, sentencing Aldrich to life imprisonment without the possibility of parole, to be followed by a 190-year sentence of imprisonment.
I kid you not, the dad has been on the show Intervention for meth addiction, Divorce court as a result of his continued meth addiction, and does gay porn to pay for his meth addiction. He’s enormously homophobic, but he’ll do gay sex for drugs.
I don’t know whether to hate him, or pity him. He must hate himself quite severely.
