Non-binary Colorado gay club shooter Anderson Lee Aldrich, 22, appeared in court for the first time since the mass shooting on Saturday night. Anderson who identifies as “they/them” was slumped over and seemed bewildered in court via video conference on Wednesday.
They/them looked drugged up and could not sit up straight in the courtroom.
Kristinn Taylor reported on the non-binary shooter on Tuesday…Accused Colorado Springs gay bar mass shooter 22-year-old Anderson Lee Aldrich is non-binary, uses they/them pronouns and is addressed by Mx. according to a Tuesday night court filing by his attorney. The mass shooting at Club Q killed five and injured 17 people. Aldrich has been charged with five counts of first degree murder and ‘bias motivated crime.’
Club Q features drag shows, including all-ages family brunch drag shows, that has prompted liberal media figures to blame the attack on conservative reporters who have exposed the sexualization of children at drag shows and the targeting of minors for trans surgery and medication
New York Times reporter Nicholas Bogel-Burroughs posted to Twitter, “In new court filing, public defenders for the suspect in the mass shooting at a Colorado gay club that left 5 people dead say that their client is non-binary and that “they use they/them pronouns.” The lawyers refer to their client as Mx. Anderson Aldrich.”
Aldrich was released from the hospital Tuesday after being injured by patrons who beat him into submission to stop the attack. Aldrich is being held at the El Paso County jail. A remote hearing is scheduled for Wednesday morning.
