From the New York Post: The transgender dad who shot up a Rhode Island high school hockey game had a history of spewing antisemitic and racist rhetoric online, disturbing social media posts reveal.
Robert Dorgan, who identified as Roberta Esposito, had shared thousands of unhinged posts on his X account before he went “berserk” at the Pawtucket ice rink Monday, killing two family members and injuring three other people before turning a gun on himself.
The 56-year-old killer routinely made worrying remarks railing against anti-trans hate and voicing his pro-Nazi views as he responded to, or reposted, other people’s crazed content.
The day before the ice rink bloodshed, Dorgan posted an Asian slur as he replied to a video praising Adolf Hitler, saying: “Really nice but a ch–k made that song.”
In other replies, he repeatedly referenced “white power” and “white pride world wide,” and retweeted footage of people doing the “Sieg Heil” Nazi salute, the New York Post reported.
Dorgan expressed his admiration for Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) in multiple posts on his X account. He also re-tweeted several posts from former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene and videos featuring Nick Fuentes.
The night before he went on his shooting rampage, Dorgan posted a chilling slam against conservative actor Kevin Sorbo, who had criticized transgender Rep. Sarah McBride (D-Del.), a biological man previously known as Tim McBride.
“Tim McBride is a man. Community note this if I’m wrong,” Sorbo wrote.
“keep bashing us. but do not wonder why we Go BERSERK,” Dorgan sneered.

Podcast host Alex Jones had agreed with Sorbo, writing, “So creepy.”
Dorgan again replied, “stfu Alex, dont be so butt hurtt over somebody different. then wonder why trans ppl go fkn BERSERK.”

The next day, Dorgan did go BERSERK, fatally shooting his ex-wife, Rhonda Dorgan, and one of his own sons while they were sitting in the stands watching the high school hockey game – where another son was among the players.
Three additional people were injured in the horrific shooting, which included two other relatives and a family friend. According to police, they are all hospitalized in critical condition.
The report explains that Dorgan underwent gender reassignment surgery in 2020. The same year, his wife, Rhonda, filed for divorce, citing his “gender reassignment surgery, narcissistic + personality disorder traits.”
Dorgan was very active on both his X account and Facebook, and often posted photos of himself on Facebook, flexing his muscles, while showing off his breast implants.
In December 2021, Dorgan posted an image of a communist hammer and sickle and wrote, “You Will OWN NOTHING and Love It!!”
Other photos posted on social media show Dorgan with a large neo-Nazi tattoo on his bicep, along with a white skull and crossbones with glowing red eyes.
