Multiple people at Boulder’s Pearl Street Mall in Colorado were burned when they were attacked by a man during a march for Israeli hostages Sunday, according to police.
Witnesses at the scene told CBS Colorado that the suspect attacked people with Molotov cocktails who were participating in a walk to remember the Israeli hostages who remain in Gaza.
Run For Their Lives, which organized the walk, said, “This is not a protest; it is a peaceful walk to show solidarity with the hostages and their families, and a plea for their release.”
“So we stood up, lined up in front of the old Boulder courthouse, and I was actually on the far west side. And there was somebody there that I didn’t even notice, although he was making a lot of noise, but I’m just focused on my job of being quiet and getting lined up. And, from my point of view, all of a sudden, I felt the heat. It was a Molotov cocktail equivalent, a gas bomb in a glass jar, thrown. Av [another marcher] saw it, a big flame as high as a tree, and all I saw was someone on fire,” said Victor.
Video of the scene shows what appears to be a burn scar in front of the old courthouse and a person being taken away on a stretcher. Photos from a viewer show a shirtless man at the scene being detained by police.
FBI Director Kash Patel, in a statement, described the incident as a targeted terror attack and said agents were on the scene.
Redfearn, however, said it was too early to speculate about a motive. “We are not calling it a terror attack at this moment,” he said.
I’m sure Isreal would love a Reichstag moment. Cops were out doing vandalism during the George Floyd protests and everyone was blaming anti-fascists and BLM for it.
There is no reason for a march for hostages on Pearl Street except to antagonize people. I’ve seen them out there before with Israeli flags trying to piss people off. Boulder is extremely liberal, too.
I think it’s revealing when the organizers said their event is not a protest. A protest is a political demonstration where the attendees shows disapproval of an entity which has power. Zionists have the full backing of the US government. Zionists are happy about the actions of the US government. Zionists are happy about the ongoing genocide in Gaza. Protests demonstrate for oppressed people, a demonstration for the oppressor is not a protest at all.
By admitting that their political action is not a protest, the participants admit that they support the genocide in Gaza and they admit that they are not being oppressed. They’re not protesting, they’re gloating.
When they talk about hostages, we all know they’re bullshitting because they have this shit-eating grin like they know what they’re doing and they feel untouchable. Crybully behavior, some of the worst people on Earth.
Well, it looks like they got more than they bargained for.
Chuds always say “FAFO” until it happens to them

I saw a video of the perp on reddit and he seems like a basket case. Just the right kind of unhinged the fbi could wind up and set lose like a top.
‘tear up texas’
uhhh ‘immolate up Israelis’?
A reichstag moment to do what? What they’re already doing?
Long-term prison sentences for any pro-Palestinian protesters in the US under the Patriot Act. They are expelling students and deporting people, but the longest they’ve been able to sentence anyone is three years for felony vandalism, with most being around 30~90 days for maximum sentences.
They would prefer if it was decades or life sentences, and especially if it was without parole. Even better for the zionists if they could arrest people for statements said outside of protests. They could equate anti-zionism as no different than threatening to blow up a federal building.
