Sounds like Molotov cocktails against a group marching to remember the Israeli hostages.

At least the asshole is in custody though too bad he didn?t resist with a fatal outcome.
That's ok....the DA there will probably let him out
As much as I am concerned about this incident, I do wish the press and politicians would take a breath, let the Police figure it out and then speak with facts.
I know I'm dreaming and part of the issue is trust in the Police to accurately summarize incidents is, well, at best a crap shoot.

Nothing says civil discourse or "let's agree to disagree" like setting people on fire.

Boulder, CO - authorities have arrested a man by the name of Mohamad Soliman in connection with a possible terror attack on a group of Jews.
Soliman was said to have dressed up as a landscaper when he threw Molotov cocktails at the group, burning several including children.

Video of the shirtless nut screaming about “children being killed” and “Until Palestine is free" while holding bottles. He then lays down as a cop approaches.

Huh? A fat guy in jeans without a shirt is a landscaper now?Quote:

Ok, please explain how this isn't terrorism.Quote:

Wait wait wait.
Isn't Pearl Street Mall a "Sensitive Place" where lawful citizens aren't allowed to defend themselves or others from say just a random hypothetical situation such as where someone was throwing incendiary devices?
So this should never happened because it is a safe and sensitive area?
He took off his top because he spilled a flammable substance on it. He was afraid of being tased, because he knew he would burn. He was spraying people with a flammable substance and igniting it. He should get the federal needle.
Bro didn't read the rules-

Jesus, they are skipping the train ride and murder and going straight to the cremation.
this was a ?gun free zone?? Outside a courthouse?
Jesus may have said "For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them", but I think Jews should change it to "For where two or three gather someone bring an UZI with them". I can?t believe that no one lit that fudger up, literally.
Was wondering the same thing, even if there is a victim that has no chance of surviving, it would seem to me that an authority would need to actually pronounce the person dead in order to present a murder charge. Don?t get me wrong, I wish this pile of trash could have been ?neutralized? before anyone got hurt, but I?m also not keen on slinging charges before they are warranted.Quote:

These discussions of the "murder charge" are based on the same media sources that we spend decades complaining about how bad they are.Quote:

That said, this article here:
https://kdvr.com/news/local/boulder-...ported-attack/
Says this about the charges against the Suspect:
".......
Eight counts of first-degree murder after deliberation - criminal attempt
Eight counts of first-degree murder with extreme indifference - criminal attempt............"
If that is accurate, the Dude wasn't charged with "Murder".............. but Attempted Murder.
So yes, NOW, if someone dies, they will amend the charges to reflect an actual murder.
Oscar77 has it right. I recommend reading the affidavit if haven’t to get an insight into the prick’s state of mind. Tried to buy a gun, planned it for a year, wanted to kill as many as he could. Yes too bad no one was there to cancel his ticket.
So I remember something about arson and deadly force in the CRS, and went digging for it:
18-1-705. Use of physical force in defense of premises.
...However, he may use deadly force only in defense of himself or another as described in section 18-1-704, or when he reasonably believes it necessary to prevent what he reasonably believes to be an attempt by the trespasser to commit first degree arson.
So what's interesting is that as I read it, trying to burn people alive is NOT arson by Colorado law, since arson is only defined as burning a structure:
18-4-102. First degree arson.
(1) A person who knowingly sets fire to, burns, causes to be burned, or by the use of any explosive damages or destroys, or causes to be damaged or destroyed, any building or occupied structure of another without his consent commits first degree arson.
(2) First degree arson is a class 3 felony if the arson is of an occupied structure, and it is a class 4 felony if the arson is of a building.
(3) A defendant convicted of committing first degree arson by the use of any explosive shall be sentenced by the court in accordance with the provisions of section 18-1.3-406.
Which means that if you shot someone holding Molotov that was threatening people with it, you'd have to rely on a standard self-defense argument to justify your actions, whereas if you shot someone threatening a building, you have a specific carve-out for your actions.
Something doesn't seem quite right about that...

Wouldn’t just trying to cause great bodily harm or injury be enough?Quote:

Yes it would be. I just find the specific arson carve-out interesting, and this event made me look more deeply into it.Quote:
