Aaron Franklin Brink is clearly a terrible father.

His 22-year-old son, Anderson Lee Aldrich, is accused of murdering five people and injuring 18 others in a mass shooting at a Colorado Springs nightspot catering to the LGBTQ community.

Aldrich was tackled to the ground and subdued by Richard Fierro, an army veteran who saved many lives. Other patrons of the club also helped take him down.

Brink, a one-time MMA fighter who went on to star in porn films such as I Wanna Get Titty F*cked, My MILF Boss 8, and Latina Slut Academy, gave a series of interviews this week.

Over to The Daily Beast:

A defense attorney called Sunday night and told Brink, who lives in Southern California, that Anderson Lee Aldrich was under arrest for the massacre at Club Q.

“They started telling me about the incident, a shooting involving multiple people,” Brink said Tuesday in an interview outside his San Diego home with CBS 8. “And then I go on to find out it’s a gay bar. I said, ‘God, is he gay?’ I got scared, ‘Shit, is he gay?’ And he’s not gay, so I said, ‘Phhhewww…’”

Brink justified his stance by saying his family was Mormon and he is a conservative Republican:

The Colorado shooter’s dad: “I praised him for violent behavior really early. I told him it works… You’ll get immediate results.”

Dick Delaware, as he is known in the industry, did eventually come around to admonishing the whole mass murderer thing.

This from The Guardian:

“I’m so sorry, guys, for your loss,” Brink said. “With no regard to politics, it’s human life. I’m so sorry. My soul goes out to you.”

…Brink, 48, went on to explain that he had not raised his son: “As a child, he was taken away – not by me,” he said, adding: “My ex-wife didn’t want my son around me. I was an adult film star.”

…“I failed him. I’m sorry, Nicholas or Anderson,” Brink later said. “I wish that he, you know – if I gotta go fight somebody, I’m going in there with my fists. Fight like a man, then shake hands afterward, and then you’re done. That’s it. You don’t go out there. You don’t kill people.”

It’s worth pointing out that Brink has appeared on television in the past and is a recovering meth addict.

In 2009, he appeared on a show called Intervention where he said he was addicted to meth, porn, and sex.

Aldrich made his first court appearance on Wednesday afternoon and is being held without bail.
