Are the Hamasholes feeling empowered yet?

Sure seems like it.

This is unbelievable, reading an eyewitness account and watching the aftermath of what happened.

I guess it's been a regularly scheduled, little peaceful demonstration for this group on Sundays.

They show up at the pedestrian mall between these streets with their flags and Israeli signs in support of the October 7th hostages, and calling for their release.

A self-proclaimed Palestinian activist showed up with a garden sprayer full of something flammable - witnesses said it was clear but smelled like gasoline - sprayed the group, and then threw Molotov cocktails as he shouted obscenities and watched elderly human beings in flames.

Dear God. The monster.

My God.

The descriptions of the injuries are so ghastly.

Word is he engulfed children in flames, too.

Utter madman.

Kash Patel called it a 'targeted terror attack.'

..."We are aware of and fully investigating a targeted terror attack in Boulder, Colorado," FBI Director Kash Patel wrote in a statement on X. "Our agents and local law enforcement are on the scene already, and we will share updates as more information becomes available."

Witnesses who spoke with CBS said the suspect used Molotov cocktails to attack people walking for "Run for Their Lives," a grassroot organization that facilitates global run and walk events calling for the release of Israeli hostages held by Hamas.

Police initially evacuated three surrounding blocks and expanded the evacuation area just before 5:15 p.m.

Fox's latest update is here.

Our hearts go out to the injured and our prayers for a swift recovery from their ghastly injuries.

I'll update this as we know more.

  

Boulder chief just gave a quick update:

And he is not calling it a 'terror attack' yet. That would be 'irresponsible.'

Beege UPDATE:  I have Sarah Hoyt's shocked face around here somewhere.

And I am sure the Woke AF Boulder police chief is still doing the responsible thing, flashlight out, searching for a motive.

The New York Post has more.

A hate-fueled suspect launched a “targeted terror attack’’ in Colorado on Sunday — setting at least one woman on fire as he screamed, “End Zionists!” and lobbed molotov cocktails at people commemorating Israeli hostages still in Gaza, officials said.

Video footage captured the alleged attacker — who law-enforcement sources identified to The Post as Mohammed Soliman — in the middle of a tirade about Palestine and calling for death to “Zionists” before he tossed the fiery containers.

“They are killers! How many children you killed?” he shouted. 

And MORE: Soliman is an Egyptian national who overstayed his visa.

An Egyptian national who came into the country two years ago and overstayed his visa has been charged in the gruesome terror attack that left six people injured in Boulder, Colo., Saturday, authorities said.

Mohamed Sabry Soliman, 45, was arrested at the scene, after he allegedly set his victims on fire as they peacefully rallied on behalf of Israeli hostages still being held by Hamas in Gaza. Soliman was heard yelling "Free Palestine" and other anti-Israel slogans during the attack on victims ranging in age from 67 to 88.

As for the Boulder police chief's 'woke credentials,' besides stepping in it big time this afternoon, they're right in his official bio. There is no denying he's a tremendously accomplished and credentialed officer.

Then again, blue Colorado city.

Bill Melugin has a little more on that overstayed visa.

...I’m told Mohamed Sabry Soliman arrived at LAX on 8/27/22 on a B1/B2 nonimmigrant visa with an authorized stay through 2/26/23, but he overstayed & never left.  

I’m told on 9/29/22, he filed some sort of claim with USCIS, potentially an asylum claim, and on 3/29/23, USCIS under the Biden admin gave him work authorization, which expired on 3/28/25.

Colorado's governor and AG don't seem to have any hesitation in saying, 'Hey. LOOKS LIKE TERRORISM ...'

...“As the American Jewish community continues to reel from the horrific antisemitic murders in Washington, D.C., it is unfathomable that the Jewish community is facing another terror attack here in Boulder, on the eve of the holiday of Shavuot no less,” Colorado’s governor, Jared Polis, said in a statement. “Several individuals were brutally attacked while peacefully marching to draw attention to the plight of the hostages who have been held by Hamas terrorists in Gaza for 604 days. I condemn this vicious act of terrorism, and pray for the recovery of the victims.”

Colorado’s attorney general, Phil Weiser, said in a statement that the attack “appears to be a hate crime given the group that was targeted.

Welp.

Beege ADDS: Lemme add one last thing about exactly what the Boulder Chief of police should have said when asked by the reporter, 'The FBI director has called this a targeted terror attack. Would you also call this...'

He postured instead of addressing the issue and what everyone had already seen with their own eyes. People are tired of it.

Chief Redfearn could have kept his 'responsible' position simply by answering the reporter in exactly the way he did, while adding: 

'But WE ARE DEFINITELY LOOKING AT/INVESTIGATING/CONSIDERING THAT POSSIBILITY.'

That's all the chief had to do. 

Acknowledge that what the perpetrator himself is on video, CLEARLY AND REPEATEDLY, screaming, could POSSIBLY be terrorism related. Concede the possibility and reiterate the duty to investigate fully.

It would have satisfied all the requirements of his position not to prejudge, and all his responsibility to his citizens for transparency and honesty.

But he didn't.

He hung a virtue-signaling, 'things on social media' statement out in the air with nary the slightest concession that what was on 'social media' was not disinformation, but the fiend himself. 

Who might very well rate the 'terror attack' label - only it seems, in Boulder, one can't even give their own citizens the courtesy of being treated like adults who could handle being told such things are on the table for the investigation.

Soothing and infantile condescension towards the peasants is a woke af cultural hallmark.
