Five people were killed in the attack on the LGBTQ bar.

The shooter who killed five and injured over a dozen more at an LGBTQ nightclub in Colorado Springs, Colorado, in 2022 accepted a plea deal Tuesday in connection with federal hate crimes charges and was given 55 concurrent life sentences.

Anderson Lee Aldrich pleaded guilty to each of the 74 charges of violating provisions of the Matthew Shepard And James Byrd, Jr., Hate Crimes Prevention Act of 2009 as well as gun crimes in the Club Q shooting. Aldrich initially pleaded not guilty.

United States District Judge Charlotte N. Sweeney accepted the plea agreement, sentencing Aldrich to life imprisonment without the possibility of parole, to be followed by a 190-year sentence of imprisonment.

    He’ll be welcomed with open arms by the AB and he’ll have ink within a week of hitting the yard.

    50 years we’re going to pay for this POS to live. I don’t have that kind of money anymore, not these days. Certainly not to raise another Nazi, I’d rather we get rid of him and use that money for schools and food for kids.

    Fuck this guy.
