A transgender registered sex offender has been snapped in a creepy mugshot after he was busted allegedly trying to snatch a child from a Colorado elementary school.
Solomon Galligan, 33, was arrested after he came onto a field where kids were playing at Black Forest Hills Elementary School in Aurora last Friday afternoon, 9News reported.
Surveillance video captured Galligan approaching the students just moments before they scattered and started screaming, "Stranger danger."
Galligan allegedly grabbed hold of one of the children but lost his grip when he tripped on a white blanket he had been carrying, according to the police report.
The nearly abducted child later told cops the alleged perp had white powder smeared on his face and smelled of alcohol.
Galligan quickly fled, but cops later tracked him down to a nearby Walgreens, where he was arrested and charged with one count of attempted kidnapping.
The suspect, who is identified as male in the arrest affidavit, shared news of his transition on Facebook back in 2011.
"So im starting my hormone shots and i relly cant wait im on my hormone pills ive been on them for almost 4 months i wake up all depressed and crying but in the end its gonna be totally worth it you know what io mean im really excited my measurements are already changing and im super thrilled," he wrote.
Galligan was put on the sex offender registry and was convicted that same year of non-consent sexual contact, according to his latest arrest affidavit.

The details regarding that 2011 incident weren't immediately clear.
In the wake of his most recent arrest, Galligan is being held on $25,000 bail at the Aurora jail.
He is set to face court on Thursday.

Interesting how the media is quiet about this.
Real quiet. Except for your seeded article and every television station, newspaper, and radio news channel in Colorado.
In case you haven't been paying attention - I don't live in Colorado. Now that brings to question why are YOU not posting this article?
So you are shocked that a Colorado specific incident hasn't made national news like 99% of all local Colorado incidents?
Why should I? What makes it of national interest other than bigotry and prejudice?
On average, 2,300 children are reported missing in the United States each day. Of those, 800 are false alarms, and 33 are abducted by non-family
You think it's a hate crime and Solomon Galligan has a thing against white kids?
I almost did, but the way I have my news feed is set up, local, regional, national,world, I didn't think regional news would be of very much interest, which is where it showed up with their algorithm. Then I came here and saw it was already seeded.
I did notice the differences in the headline as well , one I read had more to do with "alleged attempted kidnapping" and parents reaction.
so you see this article as bigotry and prejudice? And exactly what makes an article about a pedophile getting caught trying to kidnap a child "bigotry and prejudice"?
It is a very heinous crime. One of the worst and always newsworthy.
And they're trying to make excuses.
To me it looks as though he is transitioning to become more acceptable to children as a woman and make it easier for him to kidnap them or at least get closer to them.
"A transgender registered sex offender"
Considering the perp's record, how does bringing his case up amount to bigotry and prejudice?
its not a legitimate national news story
Because YOU say it's not? That's laughable.
Why is it of national interest but the other 2,300 not?
It is estimated that 2,300 children are missing every day in the United States.
How many are abducted by a stranger?
Or from one of the favorite liberal demographics.
Now that I think about it, this pedophile does check the blocks and that's why the left is silent.
They're pushed on everybody as a "victim class" of society. Then when they become part of the "criminal class" they freak out and start making excuses.
I DGAF about who it is, their skin color or what other fantasy they have going on in their head. It's a podophile that was caught (which is ALWAYS a good thing!).
But apparently some people ONLY focus on skin color and what other fantasy they have going through their head and feel the need to make excuses.
33 per day by non family members. You'd know that if you bothered looking at the link I provided.
Pedophile? Like certain members of the Catholic church? Yet the right is completely silent about them, and they are organized.
From your link:
115 divided by 365 equals 0.3 per day.
You really are trying to quote an article you didn't bother reading??!!!??
Based on the link, what is the difference between non-family abductions and stereotypical kidnappings?
[✘]
Lets get on topic. The church is it's own problem and not the topic here.
It tells you in the link.
Thank you for proving my point.
Not very clearly, I see you got confused by it as well.
Your source isn't reliable:
Fewer than 350 people under the age of 21 have been abducted by strangers in the United States per year, on average, between 2010–2017.[5] According to another source, only about 100 cases per year can be classified as abductions by strangers.[2] However, over half a million missing child cases remain unclassified each year,[6] and it is unknown how many of these represent abduction by strangers.
Your point being you will go to any lengths of deflection in defense of one the left's most favored minorities that also checks the transgender box?
We got that point from the very first post.
You needn't continue.
There you go again …. actually proving your point and not just bloviating that you have one.
Again proving my point. You don't care about child kidnapping unless it falls under migrant or LGBTQ+ categories as well.
Funny you are one of the few here that haven't (outside of other leftists) that hasn't expressed thankfulness that this POS is off the streets.
But then Democrats/leftists do love their criminals- so I guess that box was checked as well.
It seems you don't care about child kidnapping if it falls under migrant or LGBTQ+ categories.
Please state where you came up with that claim or apologize immediately.
My feelings are not under discussion, republican false outrage is.
Leftists apologizing and defending a criminal pedophile because they check all of the proper boxes is part of the discussion.
You and the rest have made it so.
It seems. Read your comments and lack of comments and give it some thought.
She is a national celebrity.
Who are these leftists defending? Trump or Gaetz?
Biden, his own daughters says he molested her.
I assume you can post a link to her quoted accusation? If not, we'll just stick to Trump and Gaetz.
Damn, look at the head on that ……
Looks like something from Walking Dead
I would say, after 13 yrs of transitioning, they still haven't mastered how to put on make up.
You have to give him some credit, he's doing a good job in his transition to be "Tyrone" from the Chapelle Show.
Lol, I just thought of that, couldn't remember the character's name.
SNL has the not ready for primetime players......
From that mug shot, this guy has a head start on not ready for Ru Paul....
Sorry, but if I want a quick laugh sometimes I go to publicly posted mug shots , some are hilarious, I always come away muttering, and they walk among us........
It's hard to hide meth mouth.
Same incident, but just read another article about this, parents are not too happy with the school and the teachers since it was reported they didn't see anything and it was the other kids on the playground that started shouting stranger danger and running away. I read the TAs were too busy on their phones from what was reported.
From what I see, the CBS Colorado article spoke more to the parents being upset about after this happened to the 5th graders, the school immediately let the younger 3rd graders go out for recess with this guy still on the loose.
things are getting darker and darker around here
I doubt if east coast right wing media would have made this a national story without the photo of the perp. It attracts a certain kind of curiosity
There are 2 ways that this story makes the right wing blogsphere as far as news reporting. It is either an immigrant or a member of the LGBQT+ community.
in this case its the photo
And the left wing blogsphere tracks white rural folk with MAGA hats.
And in this case, photo + LGBQT.
All irrelevant. Unless you are trying to protect a pedophile.
Why? Why is it irrelevant to point out obvious biases and prejudices?
The only one pointing anything other than a pedophile getting caught is you. That's your biases ad prejudices coming out.
Article I read was from CBS Colorado.
East coast media likely got it from them.
Exactly, like the liberal national media ran away with Nick Sandmann with his MAGA hat and entitlement smirk, confronting that sweet Native American with his peace drum at the Lincoln Memorial.
I would have posted this article regardless of what the pedophile looks like. The photo is irrelevant.
Now take your unfounded accusations elsewhere. Only warning.
Are you saying that no registered sex offender is transgender or black?
Kamala looks rugged without her make-up.
The complaint was that the story was reported at all.
Based on these details, and on the photo, it seems like being trans is the least of this guy’s issues.
I think he may have thrown that out there like its some kind of excuse for being a pedophile.
Who those who defend this person be happy and feel safe if this person was living near them?

Perhaps it has to do with something like this...........................
Doesn't the potato usually explode unless you stick it several times with a fork deeply so the it cooks evenly in the microwave?
Or is that part of the point?
There is no doubt in my mind that you have met trans people before and had no idea whatsoever that they were trans. Your ability to distinguish between potatoes and pizza is less than you think.
I remember meeting a female Senior Executive Service (SES) in the Pentagon, I noticed that she was wearing a West Point Class ring from several decades before females were admitted.
Annnnd you would once again, be dead wrong.

Maybe it was just stolen valor ……
