Actually, never mind. I shouldn't attempt to change your opinion; you've been here a few years longer than me.

Have a great day.

I am thinking in the direction of; Not competent to stand trial due to mental disorder/defect.

Thus labeling all people with gender malfunctions as mentally defective which I believe true.

[subterfuge]

I prefer to not pay attention to, or investigate the ins and outs of binary or whatever. Don’t care, never will. Life’s too short.

Maybe his actions were a result of a lovers quarrel or rejection

I would take his preferred pronouns and shove them up his . . . Nope. On reconsideration, not going to give him the pleasure.

The veteran who took down the shooter and his family were there because a friend of his daughter was having a birthday and was in the show;

A cautionary example of why one shouldn't patronize such events and enable such behavior. Nothing good happens in gay bars.

> Nothing good happens in gay bars.

I'll grant that as a rule, with one exception in my experience.

Back in the 80's, the sister of a buddy of mine ran a "women's bar" that catered to lesbians but allowed men as guests of patrons as long as we didn't hit on the females. Why would he and I bother to go there?

Simple. That bar had the best pool tables -- by far -- in the city. Big, level, pristine felt, no spilled beer or cigarette ashes, good straight cues, and free. Every other bar's tables were sullied by the college students, a quarter a game, and the cues looked like boomerangs.

We ignored the women (other than those shooting pool with us), no muss, no fuss. Unfortunately the bar had to shut down in the early 2000's as the female clientele became increasingly activist and argumentative.

Leftists ruin everything.

Seriously? That's the best you an do? I remember being a young man and looking around with my friends for decent pool tables. My friends found some good ones in a strip joint. I went once and them vowed never to go back. The atmosphere was absolutely not worth it. Once I opted out, we managed to find better tables at a less revolting establishment.

Nonbinary reject the idea that there are 2 genders.

I would probably have vowed the same. The one and only time I entered a strip joint was to "rescue" a bandmate. Our band was playing at a neighborhood club, and at set break he wandered over to a nearby strip joint. When he hadn't showed back up at the start of second set, I went to go get him. Nice "scenery", but I can't imagine trying to concentrate on lining up a pool shot with all the loud noise and distraction, and as you say, the atmosphere was unsavory.

The "women's bar" was much quieter and easy-going, and while the "scenery" was absent, the atmosphere was actually rather pleasant, at least for shooting pool. :-)

In any case, my days of patronizing clubs and bars, whether for pool, music, or camaraderie, are long over. I got my fill in my earlier years, and have no desire to revisit.
