I haven't looked at the news lately, so I managed to miss thie story. But looking it up, one of the results I got was an interview with the bouncing baby boy's Duh who said "we don't do gay" in the interview. That tells me plenty about the killer's upbringing. I'm gonna venture a guess the shooter was an only child and likely was brought up with few to no boundaries or consequences because he was probably an only child AND a goldenpenis male heir (apparently he considered himself non-binary, so maybe his Duh directed some of this hate toward his kid and the shooter took it out on gay folks?), and had hateful anti-LGBTQ venom instilled in him likely from a young age. I can see how this combination would result in someone who thinks it's okay to shoot up a gay club.
And yup, a year before the shooting that took place a few days ago, Junior threatened his Moo with a homemade bomb that not only resulted in the neighbors being evacuated, but the bomb squad having to come in and talk him down, which didn't work at first, hence the evacuation. No charges were brought against him, the case was dismissed and sealed, and people speculate that maybe if the asshole was on law enforcement's radar for the bomb shit, he would have been relieved of his firearms and wouldn't have been able to go and kill five people so easily.
I'm guessing if the bomb was planted at a school or a place of employment, it would have mattered more. But since it was his Moo who was the target and nobody died, I guess it wasn't considered a big enough deal? I'm sure Moo also didn't want to pursue the matter further either because she just couldn't have her precious dumpling arrested. So that's how the bastard was able to skirt around the red flag law.
I'm not surprised he climbed the next step of the terroristic ladder. He threatened someone with a homemade explosive, resisted the police, and then... nothing happened. He had no reason to fear consequences of his actions because there were none. He will likely face consequences for his more recent crime since he murdered people, but rotting in prison won't un-shoot those people he killed.
