Anderson Lee Aldrich, the 22-year-old alleged gunman in the fatal shooting of five people at a Colorado Springs nightclub, could be seen slumped over in a chair with visible injuries during his initial court appearance. He's being held without bail.

The alleged shooter facing possible hate crime charges in the fatal shooting of five people at a Colorado Springs gay nightclub was ordered held without bail in an initial court appearance Wednesday.

Defense attorneys said late Tuesday that the suspect is nonbinary and in court filings referred to the suspect as "Mx. Aldrich." The attorneys' footnotes assert that Aldrich is nonbinary and uses they/them pronouns. The suspect's father is a mixed martial arts fighter and pornography performer with an extensive criminal history, including convictions for battery against the alleged shooter's mother, Laura Voepel, both before and after the suspect was born, state and federal court records show. A 2002 misdemeanor battery conviction in California resulted in a protective order that initially barred the father, Aaron F.

Local and federal authorities have declined to answer questions about why hate crime charges were being considered. District Attorney Michael Allen noted that the murder charges would carry the harshest penalty - life in prison - whereas bias crimes are eligible for probation. He also said it was important to show the community that bias motivated crimes are not tolerated.

Idiot

He looks like a criminal

Well done

That drag queen folded him bruh😂😂😂😂

🤣😂🤣 there are a every few people that runs towards the sound of gunfire and they were at the club that day

Suspected? I think it’s confirmed.

Why are you misgendering this non binary person? Why is Twitter not suspending your account? I got a 7 day suspension a few years ago when I accidentally used 'She' for a non binary person and had zero recourse. Is getting special treatment in their cruel misgendering?

That guy got beat up 🤕 pretty good

Be careful of guys with head shaped like this. Smh 🤦🏻‍♂️

Who cares about him what about his victims!!!

His nanobots have healed him well. Shame he wouldnt share them with his victims. Some people should not be allowed to rot in prison for 200 years. I hope he gets his removed.

He deserves much worse. But I'm glad to see they did some damage.

Who cares,they didn’t do enough!!!

Good 👍

Gay person killing gay people? Never heard of that before.

All of a sudden MAGAts can’t be non-binary. This whole none binary excuse to say he wasn’t right wing is a lie. Look at his fathers video he posted

I'm sorry your Mom didn't hold you enough😥

I wouldn’t be surprised if he sues. He’s lucky to be alive it’s more than he deserves

Non binary my ass

Gay on gay crime. But that won’t make the headlines 😆

ados_warrior Terrorist

Man, they tuned him up pretty good

I thought all MAGAs look like this BEFORE getting beat up. Should have been much worse

Lots of confusion in the world. Another reason why we all need jesus.

Good for them, he deserved it.

Un fe omeno gay

typical american physique

Why is even still breathing? Skip the trial already. CapitalPunishment SaveTaxpayerDollars

So before it was blacks, then asians and now LGBTQ people? This is ridiculous.

He will rot in jail then burn in hell. What a monster. 👿👺👹

Oof. The people that beat him managed to flatten the back of the head also. Heroic.

Dude was left on his head for too long as a baby. Sad lost souls do evil things.

They should have kept going

Free Him! He’s just tired of them forcing their life style onto him!

“Into Submission” so gay!

How about releasing the Epstein list?

What heels was that drag queen wearing because they’re a weapon of face destruction.She must sell them as weapons online. A Queen of the night 😍

Wish he looked worse

He is lucky they didn’t beat him to death 💀. Now he gets to rot in prison.

Hacked Up Face...

His lawyer is saying that binary junk to get the hate crime enhancement dropped. I done know why, you figure he’d get the max for killing 5 people.

You misgendered them. It’s not gunman. It’s gunthem. Homophobic much ABC 😂

Good. He deserved it. Shout out to the person who used her heel to subdue him.

Even his mom didn’t want him! The back of his head says : NO ONE EVER PICKED ME UP AS A BABY! 😫😫😫😫😫

ooops! i thought he hung himself in prison….

Lol dude was definitely in the closet.

Hope he's ok,there's no excuse for violence x

The CorrutpPigs beat IT up, that's not questionable...

Typical neckbeard /pol tard

POS 💩

Do they have a motive yet?

Hold on a second they missed a spot

They tore a lining in his ass😂🤣🤣🤣

Man, they shoulda done more damage

LilSexyCommie Accused is quite the fucking wording here

A useless beast

Crímenes de odio este fue el que mató a personas hey en un antro en colorado

Hope he's ok, nobody deserves to leave the house and get beaten up xx ColoradoSprings

Hmmmm… that head shape…

Sooo, terrorist charges yes? .. let's call it what it is. Pathetic Americans that question their manhood because someone chose to live their life the way they wish.

Eric Cartmam?

Man they beat dat ass

Gross

“Piece of human shit” is a pronoun right?

TrueCrimeSister Prayers to all the victims and their families. Terrible

I’m glad they beat the fucking crap out of him, should have done a bit more though - apparently he is involved in that community so I’m not sure why he’d attack innocent people - absolutely unthinkable

Fat mofo

Biden supporter for sure.

TaraBull808 is that your cousin?

I wish more mass shooters would get beat up like this.

Use correct pronouns please

They whooped that azz 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

MAGA TRASH.. STOP BEING TERRORISTS

In light of the interview with of guy's father ... I'm surprised it took this long for a tragedy to happen. 😣

He shouldn’t have to go to mens prison. Hes nonbinary this isn’t right😡

His only pronoun should be ‘IT’

Not a gunman. That’s a gun they/them

Jeezus! Did the patrons beat him with an ugly-stick?😬

What does his political party matter - murder is murder

I would not be surprised if he shot up the club because he got HIV. He was reported to have been a homosexual. So sad, to hurt other human beings but spreading diseases isn't a Saint either.

GunTHEY no gunMAN. Get it right

Him?!? They said their non-binary and go by they/them. Don't misgender. It's literal violence! When someone tells you who they are believe them. Stop the hate! Btw - sarcasm.

Victim and trauma concerned reporting says do not say the shooters name. Do not show their face. And if you absolutely must be one of the click bait media to do it - you make a victim impact trauma statement prior to doing so. This is GROSS.

Boy did he get beat up

This is f’n awesome!

What about the progressive district attorney who sealed all of his felony records?

Science or death should be his only options

MAGA grooming gets his ass kicked by a ex military soldier and a drag queen 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣you just can't make this shit up

Nobody touched him. He slipped on a bar of soap.

Creep

Ah, good old skool justice

Yeaaa look about white

They did a horrible job of beating him. He Should be unrecognizable.

He’ll never play video games while eating Doritos and drinking Mountain Dew ever again!

Dang 22 years old and already a massive serial killer. I wonder what other dark, sinister, stuff he did with his pass time.

Hello precious baby!!!

Unfortunately they don't have capital punishment in Colorado. Looks like a fat slob who got a good beating!!

tRUMP’s Gunman! ☝🏿🧐🇺🇸

I have a feeling that if he ends up in a Colorado jail or prison,,, it won't be a happy time for him

Perhaps the B in LGBT stand for BEATDOWN.

Got a beating form the people who he tried to minimize 😂🙌🏽😂👏🏽😂👏🏽😂

Too bad patrons couldn’t finish the job.

I blame the democrats

They caught hands, Chicano hands. They fucked around and found out.

They should have killed the guy while they had the chance. Even if the guy is sentenced to the death penalty, he'll still be alive 20 years from now, appeals forthcoming.

His mom never rubbed the back of his head when he was a baby to shape it 😩

Why are liberals so violent? In one week, a non-binary pronoun shooter in Colorado and a black mass shooter at Walmart.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 you got what you Deserved Sucker!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

The real face of MAGA

His grandfather is a assemblyman in San Diego that covered up his criminal record

Gee they took it easy, I thought he’d look worse.

His father is is now defending is sexuality as a sympathy plea for murdering others in the LGBTQIA+ community. Makes no sense he thinks people are attacking him on that & not the fact he took the lives of innocent people.

I don’t think they hurt him quite enough.

Lol nice

He should be sleeping forever

Lock this thug up!

Too bad he’s still breathing

What a monster ! May the innocent people that got killed RIP !

look a little worse for the wear there bro. 🤣🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🖕🖕

Mf looks like he gets no bitches and he’s worried about what other dudes do with they’re dicks. Sounds gay to me

What a loser

While I appreciate the beatdown, I don't want to see this MF's face. He killed 5 people, injured 19, and terrorized many more, he doesn't get press.

No excuses for any individual who willingly chooses to take innocent ppl’s lives! 😡

Dam they beat the shit out of him

Anyone else doubting the non-binary thing now?

Did you just assume its gender? It clearly said Call me MX.... Wow so Not PC

He doesn't use that pronoun

Unfortunately, he survived the Patrons ass whoopin 🤮

He looks like one of the hillbilly cannibals from AHS Roanoke

This piece of Fecal Matter!!!!!

I hope his dad sees this.

lol..looks like they didn’t like him killing people..it took a few people beating on him to subdue him..not police done …so what is the point of the photos? Shameful..zero sympathy..zero..not even a drops..

How can someone have so much hate in their heart

Bad apple doesn’t fall far from the tree…

DEAD MAN WALKING 🧟‍♂️

Accused? Ffs

Horrible. Now can we get the police off cam on Pelosi? Again what happened in Colorado is horrible. Ever got the booking of Pelosi dude.

He’s not a him. “They beat them.”

Wow 👏🏼

Feed him to a Retic

Scary dude

Give him the express pass for the death penalty.

Thoughts and prayers… 🖕🏻

Lmao what happened to his face he looks like a walking corpse.

I hear banjos 🪕

Shouldn’t have stopped beating him!

'They/Them'. Go figure.

Another mass shooter groomed by MAGA

What a fat ass

My advice is no inbreeding.

Not ' beat him into submission,' should be 'beat THEM into submission.' Get it right, , what's wrong with you?!

They beat his ass.

Put it in gen pop day 1.

Howdoes no one have an eye on him fam?

This is cap spot him from where he is

Damn. Dude looks like he took a cheese grater to the face

They didn’t beat him enough tbh

😂🤣😂🤣

Daddys little boy. Im sure he’s so proud.

Are we supposed to feel sorry for him Who freaking cares what his face looks like. He’s a terrorist that killed 5 innocent people. Take his ugly ass face off the news coverage.

Beautiful, to bad he's wasting oxygen

Wow. A bad week for the Libs to virtue signal.

Wow they put a hurting on him, looks like he needs some medical attention before he die in jail, let him serve that sentence don't give him the easy way out.

What is with the back of his head?

Thank A VET.

👍🏾

Given our seriously flawed justice system (in general), may justice hopefully be served & to all innocent victims who he killed R.I.P. & their families receive closure! 🙌💪❤️

Did you just deadname this person?

should of killed um

Him? Please respect their preferred pronouns.

Good!

This bad apple didn’t fall far from the tree. You should hear his bigot father.

Member of the gay community not a Republican

It’s all an act. Lock his ass up and throw away the key.

High heel kicks to to the face and upper torso and being pistol whipped will do that to you apparently

He got folded now he's just waking up 😂😂😂

He, the Homophobic Mass Murderer who is lucky to be alive .

He?

What? What is this Mx. Aldrich? And what does him being referred as anything exempt him for what he did. Someone enlighten me on this.

WHAT A PATHETIC You Know WHAT ! LIFE Without Parole IS Coming.

Shoulda massaged his face a bit more.

They should let them wit the general population

It is non binary? What does that mean?

I am disappointed in this reports use of non binary pronouns. Ask any of the suspects family or relations if he ever told them he was non binary before. Do not buy into this murderer's disgusting attempt to avoid hate crime charges.

“Gunthem” ABC…

You guys didn't put his sexual orientation or 'gender' in the headline like outlets did for the victims?
