In what is becoming a regular occurrence, someone trans-identifying is accused of committing a mass murder, this time during a high school hockey game, in suburban Rhode Island.
Robert Dorgan, who preferred to be called Roberta, killed his ex-wife and one of his own children and shot three more people before turning a gun on himself.
In 2020, Dorgan had told police that he was being kicked out of his home, by his father-in-law, after Dorgan had undergone “gender-reassignment surgery.”
His wife, Rhonda Dorgan, wrote “gender reassignment surgery, narcissistic + personality disorder traits” as her grounds for divorce, but those words were crossed out and “irreconcilable differences which have caused the immediate breakdown of the marriage” was written instead.
Dorgan certainly seemed like he was going through a mental health crisis.
In the days leading up to the slaughter, Dorgan posted on X, “keep bashing us. but do not wonder why we Go BERSERK.”
