Mourn the victims.

Robert K. Dorgan ("Roberta Esposito") killed two people and critically injured three others.

The suspected shooter sat near the back of the stands on the home team’s side during the game before he moved to the front and opened fire at four family members and one family friend, the outlet reported.
The student’s mother and sibling were among the dead, multiple sources told the outlet. The mother of Dorgan’s child died inside Lynch Arena, while the sibling died at the hospital, according to the sources.

He was active on social media threatening violence and attacking women who knew biology.

A lot of the coverage seems to be calling him a guy this time.

Stop this madness!

Obviously one must suspect Dorgan was inspired by the Tumbler ridge killer these type of evil men imitate each other.

How long are we going to let this happen?

Pawtucket Police Chief Tina Goncalves said that Dorgan, 56, also uses the alias Roberta Esposito.

Terrible article on this in today's Times: https://archive.ph/o32Jx I honestly think journalists should have to go on domestic violence training courses before they are allowed to write about these kinds of cases: https://www.thetimes.com/us/news-today/article/robert-dorgan-trans-shooter-pawtucket-wvdc3r7gb

There's the full gamut of excuses for male violence right here, along with a confusing flip to female pronouns mid-article - an ex-colleague talking about Dorgan's 'much loved kids', worshipping the ground they and his ex-wife walked on - which is called into question by the fact he murdered his ex and son - plus some victim-blaming... not being 'fully accepted by family' and speculation something was said 'to push him [NOT her] over the edge'.

A lot of papers have stopped publishing this dangerous slop about domestic violence when it involves a man who isn't in a dress, but clearly there's some way to go to change attitudes if the killer was trans.

Robert Dorgan, a former Marine and shipyard worker, described himself as ‘to the right of Hitler’ and was embarrassed by his gender transition before opening fire in Pawtucket

Awful. What a cunt. I’ve seen idiots saying “no matter what he did his pronouns should be respected” Ugh. I absolutely despair of such bullshit.

Maybe they put the resident MRA on the article.

I don't understand why his employer didn't have a word with him about his unsuitable dressing at work (stiletto heels and mini skirts are not appropriate dress for most jobs but most definitely not for manual work at a shipyard).

Society seems to have decided that men like him are allowed to do whatever they want all the time (like the Family Guy meme) and then people in charge act shocked when the behaviour escalates to dangerous levels because it's been encouraged by a lack of consequences.

No woman would be permitted to dress like this crazy man in the workplace.
They would be called in to meet HR for breach of dress code.
I remember a colleague being sent home on "casual friday" for wearing flip-flops. He argued that these were no different to sandals that the women wore in summer. HR disagreed back then - probably not now if he declared himself to be a woman.

I'm not surprised they were related, they both look exactly the same.

TIMs come in all shapes and sizes and political persuasions.

It's only viewed as left-wing in the US - the Tories supported trans ideology as much as Labour when they were in government and that was for most of the ascension of this crazy cult.

I do think that in the UK we should do all we can to avoid this left / right labelling. It doesn’t mean here what it means in the US and it seems to me to be a massive distraction from the real issues

FFS that headline! He didn't spare his daughter, she was explicit that the only reason she wasn't killed was because of the bystander who intervened.
