Anderson Lee Aldrich: 5 Fast Facts You Need to Know https://heavy.com/news/anderson-lee-aldrich/
Aldrich is the grandson of outgoing Republican state Rep. Randy Voepel, the former mayor of Santee, California. There were calls to expel Voepel from the state Assembly after he made comments comparing the January 6 attacks to the Revolutionary War. Aldrich’s mother, Laura Voepel, has written posts praising Randy Voepel on Facebook and confirming he is her father.
“This is Lexington and Concord. First shots fired against tyranny,” Randy Voepel, who was defeated in a Republican primary in August 2022, said in a San Diego Union-Tribune article three days after January 6. “Tyranny will follow in the aftermath of the Biden swear-in on January 20th.” According to the San Diego Union-Tribune, Voepel “later tweeted that he condemned violence and lawlessness.”

CBS interviewed his best friend who only remembers one homophobic slur and talked about the shooter's drug addiction and love of gaming.
His path to radicalization wasn't subtle.

He livestreamed his 2021 armed standoff with police.
The criminal charges were dropped and no Red Flag Law was applied.
There needs to be accountability for this crap.
The shooter's father doesn't care that his son is a mass murderer just so long as his son isn't gay.

Colorado Springs shooter’s non-binary claim won’t stop hate crime charges, legal experts say

Been doing this for 25 years. This family has got to be in my top 10 for trashiest family of a mass killer.
The father was on Divorce Court and his then wife accused him of stealing from her to support his crystal meth addiction.
After Colorado Springs mass shooting, Gov. Polis considers changes to strengthen 'red flag' law
The governor said Sunday the response to the killings needs to be "national."
@jjmacnab Someone posted her FB groups and follows and there was a whole lot of guns and ammo there.
Red flags around the whole clan.
@jjmacnab I wonder if this was a subject of his mom's discussions with the mormon mom group?
@jjmacnab Ugh. This is an inevitable evolution of the practice of identifying mass murderers as autistic in order to both excuse the criminal (who can't help it because mental illness) and paint autistic people as dangerous criminals. It's all done while the perpetrators decry "identity politics." Disingenuous and abusive.
@Teach4Democracy @jjmacnab Yes, I know. I was talking about people labeling it as such and using it as an excuse for everything from incel-style stalking to outright murder. #ActuallyAutistic
@jjmacnab Based on the extended family as a whole this all just seems inevitable
Is he tweaking?
@jjmacnab The father should be charged with aiding and abetting. Also, drug possession. He sure sounds like he’s on something.
@jjmacnab he was also in an episode of 'intervention', season 6 episode 8, meth addict. did 3yrs in federal prison for smuggling weed from Mexico when he was 21
@jjmacnab I’m so glad it was a Second Amendment Sanctuary zone. He was in real danger of losing access to weapons of mass murder. </sarcasm>
@jjmacnab yeah. I’m betting the claims of non-binary status are bogus: https://www.9news.com/article/news/local/club-q-shooting/former-neighbor-says-club-q-suspect-hated-lgbtq-community/73-d705c231-24c2-496e-ac20-bfe3e373d9f4
@jjmacnab his 'intervention' episode had a tiff between him and that wife. she had to go back to porn work to bail him out/pay attorney fees. heck of a guy
@jjmacnab Meth head. I knew it. One look at that ‘Whew. At least he’s not gay’ video.
@jjmacnab
More & more keeps coming out & I'm surprised this kid made it as long as he did.
@jjmacnab To give "constitutional" sheriffs laws they can decide not to uphold?
Because more or less arbitrary defiance of the written law seems to be the primary reason for the existence of the constitutional sheriff movement.
@jjmacnab I think like here, it depends on the sheriff. Some sheriff's just refuse to enforce it.
@jjmacnab I read this is not true, he's not non-binary. The defenders and media are just throwing ideas out without verifying them. Also, the person stomping on him at the club was supposedly not a Drag Queen, but a trans person. That info was given by a Drag Queen who was in the club who said the person who took down the shooter didn't know this. It appears MSM is spewing falsehoods without waiting for verification, and trying to create controversy.
@jjmacnab Clear evidence that Police do not prevent crime. If they cant protect us from a man with so, so many red flags, then why do we spend billions on them?
Everyone is focusing on the grandfather, but the mother is also interesting.
