Reply to comment by Viceversa10 in Connecticut’s Congressional delegation tweet condolences after Colorado gay bar shooting by Usedtoknowsomeone46

Your own link’s specifically mentioned the kid’s previous case being mysteriously sealed. Obviously there’s no actual sources saying “Yea grandpa covered for his psycho grandson” but what’s more believable?

Nepotism or what has historically been a swing state (until recently) being “soft on crime”?

If you aren’t satisfied with this then I can turn around and ask you the same. Show me the source showing that being “soft on crime” caused this, because your two links say nothing about that

Federal crime of menace and kidnapping. No charges pressed. Regardless of if the mother wanted to press charges he should have been jailed for multiple felonies. So yes, that was being soft on crime.

The mother should be charged for aiding and abetting as well in this shooting.

Edit for more sources: source for below from wapo

The Colorado Springs district attorney’s office ultimately declined to bring formal charges in the wake of the 2021 bomb-threat incident, and the court records for the case were placed under seal, the Colorado Springs Gazette reported.

Are you purposely leaving out the part where they refused to take away his weapons or did you not read this?

Even if we can somehow construe his own mother refusing to press charges with Democrats being lenient on crime (which is objectively an insane logical jump) we are left with the fact that they were aware he was a psychopath and that he had these weapons and that the “Red Flag Laws” prevented authorities from seizing his weapons. Who do you think fought to have these caveats (which make the laws borderline useless) included?
