    Who knows. Could be a good defense argument too

    The DA stated it was important to pursue the case as a hate crime. Colorado has no death penalty, but the Feds do for hate crimes. I am not sure if the Feds have ever pursued death in a state where the penalty is outlawed. If the DP is on the table, his public defenders wisely will pursue any defense or mitigating circumstances.
     

    The public defenders are sharp in Colorado.

    And who knows, maybe the alleged perp fought what he thought were demons making him believe he was not CIS gendered. Repression is a hell of a bitch.
     

    The Alleged Perp changed his name apparently because his dad was in porn (Dick Delaware). The alleged perp was upset about bullying calling him gay. Time will tell what made him snap. 

  2. WaPo: Formative years in San Antonio. Changed his name from Nicholas Brink to Aldrich due to online bullying. LDS Church membership.

    But records from Aldrich’s past as Nicholas Brink offer some insight into his formative years.

    Brink was born in 2000 as the only son of Aaron and Laura (nee Voepel) Brink, of Orange, Calif., and a year later, in July 2001, the couple separated. Their divorce was finalized in September 2001, court records showed. Brink’s maternal grandfather is state Rep. Randy Voepel, a Republican assemblyman who in the past has aligned himself with the tea party movement and spoken in favor of the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol. Voepel lost his seat in November after a redistricting change altered his Riverside County district.

    The family was living in San Antonio at the time of Laura Voepel’s arrest on arson-related charges in 2012. The case wound its way through a Texas court for several years, and according to court records, the defendant was ordered to undergo psychological evaluations and mandatory drug testing. Her trial resulted in the dismissal of the arson charge but she was found guilty on a lesser charge of criminal mischief.

    The YouTube account under Brink’s name was opened in 2010, with a note to viewers of the channel that read, “wazzap guys, please help and subscribe.” The crude animation with the “Asian homosexual” label was added in 2012. The video received more than 300 views.

    The online bullying incident that targeted Brink included photos of the then-15-year-old youth posted to a Wikipedia-like website, along with a fictitious biography riddled with insults and ridicule.

    Months later, on April 28, 2016, a petition was filed in a Bexar County, Tex., court requesting a legal name change for the young man. The formal order, issued a week later, appeared under the simple heading: “Nicholas F. Brink to Anderson L. Aldrich.”

    So probably he has rich parents. 

    Politically connected Magat grandfather from Klantee, California whose politics matched the pervasive Magat politics of Colorado Springs.
     

    The Springs has some truly deplorable assholes. Unsurprisingly, many are former Texans.
     

    Beautiful setting for a city, but generally a wasteland of reactionary idiots. It’s the worst of Texas in Colorado.

  4. As I have repeatedly pointed out, FTX was an equal opportunity donor. Donations = Access. While SBF focused on Dems, he also donated to Repubs - including:

    • $105,000 to Alabama Conservative Fund
    • $45,000 to the NRCC
    • max donations to Repubs Boozman, Collins, Burr, Cassidy, Hoevan, and Murkowski.

    Source: Fox Business News, 11/18/2022, FTC founder Sam Bankman-Fried was also prolific donor to Republicans: ‘I have a duty’

    FTX co-CEO Ryan Salame was the FTX Repub donations bag man.  He gave $23.6 million to Repubs at the same pace as the Repubs two biggest donors - Peter Thiel and Steve Schwarzman (Blackstone). He gave $2 million to the Republican Congressional Leadership Fund, and $114,000 to the NRCC.
     

    Source: The Coin Republic, 11/14/2022, FTX Co-CEO Ryan Salame is Continuing and  Lawyering-up

    This is how politics works in this country. Payoffs for access. Our national malady is greed. It’s a scam that will not change unless laws (and the Constitution) are amended to prohibit donations for access to politicians.

    It is legalized bribery sanctioned by the Supreme Court under the guise that “fictional legal entities, such as corporations, are persons with the right to free speech in the form of donations.” The chances of that happening are zero.

    The giant birds suck. Breast gets too dry after cooking for as long as you need to. Get two 10-12 lb birds instead.

    Agree, but I was provided specific instructions to procure one big bird, not two small ones.

    The chef is an engineer and I am not taking any chances that I might send her into a catatonic state by multiplying the number of inputs entering her oven.

    I am more of a thigh man anyway.

    Might want to edit -- that's Randy Voepel.

    Thank you. The grandfather of the alleged perp was the mayor of Santee, California, which, as you know, is affectionately known as Klantee in the San Diego area.
     

    Too late to edit the quote referring to him as Randy Aldrich.

  7. Heavy has confirmed that Aldrich is the grandson of outgoing Republican state Rep. Randy Aldrich, 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.”

    the alleged perp is 3rd from the right.

  8. The shortage was expected (and widely reported) due to an outbreak of avian flu. Flocks were culled.

     In early November, the Ag Department Secretary, Tom Vilsack, stated there is no shortage, but finding bigger birds may be more difficult this year (because of the flock culling, there was less time to supersize the birds). 

    I found a 22 lbs. bird with little difficulty at Publix here in the Piedmont region.
