Colorado Live presser..police chief is reading pro nouns of each victim

[Demovictory9]

That will piss off rightwingers

[MissB]

1. Good

[GopherGal]

3. Owning the cons?

...just like I did when I drove home from the doctor with my mask on alone in my car. (didn't realize I still had the mask on until I was about 1/3 of the way home. Decided to keep it on because the only ones that would be bothered by it deserved to be.)

2. They're refusing to answer the first question: How did Aldrich get a gun despite the red flag laws?

[blm]

4. Second Amendment Sanctuary Cities don't

recognize gun laws, including red flag law.

[republianmushroom]

5. any and just about everything pisses off the right wingers and some lefts too

[Greywing]

6. This a Colorado Springs damage control press conference

I am absolutely livid ... Basically refusing to answer any questions. To paraphrase mayor he believes red flag law should be enforced. What a cop out ... everyone knows El Paso County's refusal to enforce. They are just hoping this will be forgotten about.

[sop]

10. MSNBC just cut away.

[ornotna]

18. CNN stayed for the whole press conference. n/t

[tishaLA]

11. They also refused to say whether the gunman made a statement to cops

because, the DA says, they have a right to remain silent so sharing whatever he said to them would violate that right. Huh? It's not an agreement between the cops and the public; it's an agreement between the suspect and the state.

Whatever.

The red flag answer was almost equally appalling, though. This whole press conference made me feel worse.

[Greywing]

13. Just cursory reading of victims names with their gender identity ...

How did that honor the victims? As usual bright red Colorado Springs trying to save their reputation.

[Maraya1969]

16. I don't know how they did except to use "She her, He Him, They" and whatever else is used. And

believe if that is the case it is to show respect. A friend told me to refer to her sibling as "They" and I'm completely fine with it and happy to do it.

[Greywing]

19. Reading the names of the 5 victims who died did not honor victims

The press conference was just a self-serving attempt to explain why they would not answer questions.

[FoxNewsSucks]

7. They probably won't know. Their media isn't covering it.

[Greywing]

9. I can't speak to Colorado Springs media

I am a Denver native and it is being covered in Denver media.

[FoxNewsSucks]

12. I meant the rightwingers, they won't watch cnn

Or msnbc. Their news channel didn't cover any if it

[LetMyPeopleVote]

8. Therefore, we will be identifying the victims by how they identified themselves

This man is a hero

20. Thx for posting this

[WhiskeyGrinder]

14. The victims' happiness pissed off the rightwingers. Cops doing the bare-ass minimum hardly compares.

15. Ghost gun?

I think I heard someone in the audience ask if one gun was a ghost gun and the other gun was bought illegally in Florida. Apparently they had heard something to that effect. Didn't get an answer.

[BlackSkimmer]

17. All I know it it was a long gun, and supposedly he had a handgun too.

My question is how did he walk in the bar with a long gun?

Back in my days at the (gay) bars, even if there wasn’t a cover, the entrance was usually tightly controlled. Of course, back in those days, being gay was even less accepted.

Still, I would think they’d have people at the entrance.
