FBI and local law enforcement investigating attack at Boulder's Pearl Street Mall in Colorado, multiple injured
A suspect is in custody after what authorities call a "targeted act of violence" at Pearl Street Mall in Boulder, Colorado. Witnesses said he threw Molotov cocktails at people supporting Israeli hostages.
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." The group met at 1 p.m. at Pearl Street and 8th Street to walk the length of the Pearl Street Mall and back with a stop at the courthouse for a video.
..were participating in a walk to remember the Israeli hostages who remain in Gaza.
Just forgetting about the Palestinian hostages held by Israel?
I have conflicting feelings. On one hand this was a horrific attack on a peaceful walk. On the otherhand they only care about Israeli hostages and that rubs me in all the wrong ways.
They were and have been marching for peace… most people see the need for an end to hostilities, they are Jewish and they want the hostages returned, I don’t know their ideology but I assume they want the Palestinian hostages held by IDF and the Israeli government returned as well to their families…
The rest of website goes on in the same vein. All they want are Jewish Israeli hostages returned.
And the group they were founded by, The Hostages and Missing Families Forum, has the same focus.
At best these groups just don't care about Palestinians. At worst they are Zionists.
Just forgetting about hostages held by the genocidal government of Sudan?
Just forgetting about hostages held by the gangs dominating Haiti?
Do you not grasp how ridiculous your argument is? Why does concern for Israeli hostages, whom you clearly never gave a damn about, detract from the plight of Palestinians?
This group doesn't see Palestinian lives as worth as much as Israeli ones, clearly.
I'm sorry but 21 hostages don't hold a candle to over 50k dead, including women and children and 1.8 million classified as "extremely critical" levels of hunger. There's a famine in Gaza right now, they've been scorch earth bombed to hell resulting in widespread homelessness. Israel just gunned down and murdered 30 innocent people today and injured hundreds more who were there for food from an aid truck simply for crossing a line slightly before 6 AM.
Fuck out of here. Sudan and Haiti are not part of this conversation for a reason and it's because Haiti is in the Caribbean for fucks sake so that's a stretch to "you don't care about hostages". It's a genocide orchestrated by the Israeli government. The hostages are a flimsy excuse at best.
Yeah because everyone knows that Israel has been oppressing Haiti and Sudan for 80 years... So fucking disingenuous.
I don't have conflicted feelings. I'm sure the people engaged in this protest would be more than happy to strip me, my family, and my friends of my rights and finish the destruction of the US.
The right has lost my sympathy.
Can we like, agree that throwing Mollies at non-combatants is shit?
Actually it's only Bad to use high explosive bombs on civilians, incendiaries are actually fine.
"... all I saw was someone on fire," said Victor.
I wish hell existed for people who would do something so horrific.
Those marching as “bring them home” actually meant “bomb their home”.
