The defense attorney for the Colorado Club Q killer claims the shooter, who changed his name in 2016 from Nicholas Franklin Brink to Anderson Lee Aldrich, is “non-binary,” uses they/them pronouns, and will be addressed by the title Mx. Well, that upends the tale being told by some idiots full of sound and fury, signifying their anti-conservative bigotry.

CNN’s preternaturally snide Alisyn Camerota is beside herself with disbelief. Lo these many years, she and many other leftists were sure only theologically conservative Christians/”right-wing extremists” (same thing in the Upside Down where leftists live and move and have their being) were responsible either directly or indirectly for mass killings, despite the absence of evidence for such a notion.

(It’s weird that leftist moral disapproval and even outright hatred of Christians, Christian beliefs, and Christian desires don’t  create a climate of violence and oppression for Christians. Funny how that works.)

But back to reality about culpability and causation.

There is a mountain of evidence correlating broken, dysfunctional, and/or abusive family environments to male violence, whether that violence is of the mass killing or the urban gang variety, and yet, we rarely hear leftist pundits spewing venom at our divorce culture or correlating dysfunctional family structures with male antisocial violence.

Here’s what the Denver Gazette reported about Brink/Aldrich’s childhood with an MMA fighter father:

“His upbringing is marked by a biological father with a criminal history who dabbled in drugs and worked in the porn industry and a mother with multiple arrests in California and Texas. The two parents separated while Aldrich was a toddler.”

Then the Washington Post reported—I kid you not— this:

“Whether the events of Aldrich’s childhood had any bearing on Saturday’s horrific violence is unknown.”

That statement marks a surprising turn toward humility for leftists. The “unknown nature” of the factors that may or may not have had any bearing on incidents of horrific violence rarely stops leftist pundits from speculating.

How many times do leftist “journalists” and elitist talking heads have to see their presumptuous “narratives” exposed as wrong (and bigoted) before they learn to keep their judgments to themselves until the facts are known.

Maybe as Camerota suggested, Brink/Aldrich’s legal team is laying a fictional groundwork for a defense against a hate crime charge—which would point to yet another problem with prosecuting wrong-think rather than just criminal acts. We’ll just have to wait and see—something Camerota (et al.) might want to try more often.
