According to the news release, Soliman yelled, “Free Palestine” during the attack.
Bet they criminalize this phrase soon
Its genocidal language according to Barko Rubio. You can get your visa rejected for saying it, or tweeting it, or probably even liking a tweet, since they want to start investigating peoples social media accounts as part of the visa / immigration process.
Bushnell tried the peaceful route. Countless people around the world tried the peaceful route. Y’all chose violence.
Schumer, Jeffries, and Warren all unsurprisingly lining up behind the Trump administration to condemn the continued existence of Palestinians and anyone speaking or acting in defense of their survival. May they all suffer a fraction of the misery they’ve inflicted on Gaza along with every other genocidal freak dishonoring the memory of Hitler’s victims in support of Hitler’s policies.
Everyone has the right to resist, just ask this :Fidel-sad
Zionist media I heard this morning too afraid to quote 'free Palestine' and just using 'pro-Palestinian language,' so it's not even a specific phrase that's bad now it's saying anything pro-Palestine.
In hospital with unspecified injuries, very strong chance he burned himself with the molotov cocktails. People are always pouring burning gasoline on themselves when they try these things out the first time
You can even read a guide on proper construction and usage on Wikipedia, quoting segments of a manual for Allies in WW2. This guy seemed a bit unhinged, with the right steps it seems simple to avoid that, but in the heat of the moment (heh) I'm sure it's different, I've never used one.
Stephen Miller, the White House deputy chief of staff for policy, claimed in a post on X that the Boulder attack was carried out by an “illegal alien”.
Without naming Soliman, Miller said the suspect had overstayed a tourist visa granted to him by the government of former US President Joe Biden. “In response, the Biden Administration gave him a work permit. Suicidal migration must be fully reversed,” Miller wrote.
Al Jazeera was not able to independently verify Soliman’s immigration status in the US.
They're really pushing for a unicorn assailant it would seem.
I can't imagine how awful it must be to have these genocidal terrorists marching regularly in your town. Zero surprise that somebody resisted.
He wasn’t from Boulder, he drove up from southern Colorado
The news release said that witnesses saw the attacker using a makeshift flamethrower as he lobbed incendiary devices – meant to start fires – at the gathering.
This is way to bazinga for me.
How long before "the FBI was aware of this person" statements?
I don't even know what they mean by "flamethrower". In the video I posted yesterday, there was nothing close to what looked like a "flamethrower". He clearly had two glass bottles with rags coming out the mouth. There was something on the ground that looked like a container or some kind, burned, but it had the shape of a kettle or something.
Not confirmed for sure but I heard someone on the video say he had a spray bottle with alcohol, you can spray it into a lighter, which so many teenagers have done, it's hilarious to call that a 'makeshift flamethrower' though that isn't necessarily inaccurate.
Using the literal description of "device that throws flames" to make a can of hairspray and a BIC lighter sound scarier.
I don't understand why people who feel the need to do DA in the US recently don't actually go to the source (means of production).
This doesn't really feel like there was any strategic planning put in, rather an act for personal catharsis. It's a good barometer of frustration building up but without channelling that frustration strategically, it's a waste.
Honestly reeks of liberal individualism and adventurism.
I mean, if you watch the video it's pretty clear this guy wasn't doing great. He was slurring quite heavily, and didn't really look like he had great coordination.
A lot of these single-person direct actions seems to be like that, while groups like Palestine Action make much more effective change.
destructive DA like sabotage or whatever involves throwing wooden clogs into the gears of the machines, not at your coworkers
Once again, the fruitless question of "false flag or adventurism?" surfaces. It doesn't matter, the kettle is boiling.
Can't condone it, but also can't be surprised people will try to resist violently after peaceful resistance hasn't worked for so long. I'm surprised there's not more violence as we approach the final phases of a genocide.
Fuck em, 2 years of genocide and they still want to be victims. Let them be burn victims if thats the case
