Remember the Club Q murderer, Anderson Lee Aldrich and how, after the fact he claimed to be non-binary? It makes practical sense that his attorney recommended this as a cheap trick to try to avoid hate crime charges. But I've always suspected another motivation was to do one last harmful act to...

See, this is why I say I take them with a grain of salt. NYPost has updated their coverage to say 4 people killed (in line with everyone else) and naming the deceased officer as Didarul Islam, a father of 2, expecting a 3rd. So sad...

I always take the NYPost with a grain of salt, but they are allowed here and they do get things right far more often than wrong. They are saying a total of 11 casualties with 5 deaths and 6 serious injuries, and they are identifying the shooter as Shane Tamura, 27, with pictures of various IDs...

27 girls missing as of 20 minutes ago when this article was published. Horrific how the number seems to be rising from 20 yesterday. This whole story is just killing me and I know there are thousands of other parents across the country with babies at camp right now who will not let them out of...

Same. My 11-year-old is at camp in Colorado right now and I can’t stop crying. She was actually born days after we similar historic flooding here in CO in 2013. It’s hard enough to have your baby away for three weeks and only be able to be in touch with them through letters. My heart is just...

"The family of University of Colorado freshman Megan Trussell is distributing hundreds of care packages to people experiencing homelessness in Boulder, hoping someone will come forward with information about her death more than a month after the coroner ruled it a suicide."...

I am a domestic violence advocate in Denver and I cannot tell you how proud I am that you guys are not letting this go! This is why I'm part of this community. THANK YOU. Justice for Seorin and her babies!

I found this article about Beller: https://www.utoledo.edu/law/alumni/empathy-of-defense-attorney-beller.html It talks about his work on defending Willie Clark, who killed Broncos player Darrent Williams on NYE 2007, and how he sort of felt that it was his job to humanize the clearly guilty...

sbm - My new favorite quote!!

I think I mentioned this when we figured out that Kelly would be prosecuting this case - I'm in Colorado and work in the domestic violence field and know multiple people who worked with her in Boulder. They all simply could not think more highly of her. [Modsnip: please leave political...

Just popping in to celebrate. I'm in Colorado even, and just heard!!

"Sanewashing" is a word I've heard a lot recently to describe a status quo that in reality is anything but "sane." If the person acting irrationally or inexcusably is part of a powerful/dominant group that the media is afraid to question or criticize: sanewashing...

Not a traditional manifesto... notebook with thoughts and names of politicians. Edit: I wonder if the "hitlist" is also part of the notebook.

Given everything published thus far in MSM, I don't believe the suspect's motives or political beliefs are mysterious or convoluted. A manifesto, a hitlist, a pile of protest locations to hit, multiple videos of sermons. How explicit does he have to be? "Despite serving under Dems, Boelter last...

I hate to say it, but sometimes people who look like wonderful people on paper (especially when self-described) are anything but wonderful in reality. Sadly, foreign countries with less privilege and oversight can provide cover for very bad people to do very bad things that would get them caught...
