The Colorado shooters dad on finding out his son murdered people: They started telling me about the incident, a shooting... And then I go on to find out its a gay bar. I got scared, Shit, is he gay? And hes not gay, so I said, phew I am a conservative Republican. (@CBS8)
The Colorado shooters dad: I praised him for violent behavior really early. I told him it works... Youll get immediate results.
He then went on to praise the Colorado shooters grandpa, a MAGA Republican politician named Randy Voepel who supported the January 6 insurrection.

MMA-fighter-turned-porn-actor Aaron Franklin Brink had an immediate reaction when he learned his 22-year-old son had been accused of slaughtering five people and injuring 18 others last weekend in a mass shooting at a Colorado Springs nightspot catering to the LGBTQ community.
A defense attorney called Sunday night and told Brink, who lives in Southern California, that Anderson Lee Aldrich was under arrest for the massacre at Club Q.
They started telling me about the incident, a shooting involving multiple people, Brink said Tuesday in an interview outside his San Diego home with CBS 8. And then I go on to find out its a gay bar. I said, God, is he gay? I got scared, Shit, is he gay? And hes not gay, so I said, Phhhewww
Brink, who has appeared in such films as My MILF Boss 8, I Wanna Get Titty Fucked, and Latina Slut Academy, told CBS 8, You know Mormons dont do gay. We dont do gay. Theres no gays in the Mormon church. We dont do gay. (The Mormon Church has confirmed that Aldrich was a member but had not been active in some time.)

And a note about Mormons who have been the very worst about gays in the past, apparently did not take a position on the recent gay marriage rights bill in the US Senate. Which may have to do with why Romney voted for it.

Solly Mack
(96,942 posts)I said "Meth" use early into the video while watching with my husband and then the man confirmed it. I've been around a lot of meth addicts. It can induce psychosis. His speech pattern, as well as his eye movements and head movements are indicative of that (induced psychosis). Prolonged meth abuse, the induced psychosis, behaves just like untreated schizophrenia in the meth user. The drug truly fucks a person up. Once you reach that stage, rehab isn't enough. The addict needs psychiatric care.
Don't have to take my word for it. Look it up.
Not excusing his words. He said what he meant and meant what he said. I just noticed what I noticed is all.
I had to stop watching. One thing, I didn't want to hear him spout garbage anymore. Another thing was the "chew juice" in his stubble was driving me bonkers and I seriously can't deal with meth addicts anymore. Not even on a video.
The killer did not stand a chance being born into that family but that doesn't excuse his actions.
I feel bad for anyone raised in abusive conditions but once they start creating victims of their own, my concern and sympathy is for their victims and not them.

Hermit-The-Prog
(36,631 posts)intrepidity
(8,582 posts)My takeaway: he's in denial. He mentions repeatedly that he isn't sure about what even happened, that (at the time of the interview) he had not seen any media reports, only what some attorney in Colorado told him over the phone. This explains at least partly why he is so cavalier about it. No doubt his twisted damaged brain factors in heavily here too.
A few interesting points: he claims he believed his son had suicided in 2016 (says ex-wife told him so), and only learned that wasn't the case last year, when the son contacted him to--apparently--berate him for being a shitty dad and for embarrassing him and ruining his life due to his porn career and his airing the family laundry on TV (Intervention show, Divorce Court, etc). The kid was bullied over this (he says) which was also why he had changed his name. The dad says he last saw his son when he was like 10.
I think the son did this as payback to his father; to inflict as much pain and suffering upon his dad as the dad had caused to him. And perhaps he chose the targets he did to further antagonize his dad, either by making him suspect his son was gay, or by killing people he knew his dad disapproved of, thus causing the exact sort of conflicted emotion the dad displayed in the interview.
But in my view, this was directed squarely towards the dad: punishment for the humiliation he caused his son to suffer.
No doubt that whole family is really, really, really fucked up. And as usual, innocent bystanders get hurt.

(21,286 posts)Oswald was placed in juvenile detention at the age of 12 for truancy, during which time he was assessed by a psychiatrist as "emotionally disturbed", due to a lack of normal family life. After attending 12 schools in his youth, he quit repeatedly, and finally when he was 17, joined the Marines. Oswald was court-martialed twice while in the Marines, and jailed. He was honorably released from active duty in the Marine Corps into the Marine Corps Reserve, then flew to Europe and defected to the Soviet Union in October 1959. He lived in Minsk, Byelorussia, married a Russian woman named Marina, and had a daughter. In June 1962, he returned to the United States with his wife, and eventually settled in Dallas, where their second daughter was born.
