Why did he choose that particular King Soopers supermarket? Let's look at some facts.
and check out this article from the New York Post. pay careful attention to the picture of the home. In fact, let me make it easy.
Now that we have this knowledge, we can do a google search for grocery stores that are closer to the shooters home and we see that there were plenty of other targets that were closer. There was, in fact, a King Soopers that was located only 5 minutes away from him. Why drive 20 minutes away when there's a similar store 5 minutes away?
It sure does seem like he chose that target for a reason. Hmmm, I wonder what that could be:
It sure does look like this was a terrorist attack against the Jewish community carried out by a radical Islamic terrorist.
This is good research but will only be meaningful if it can be proved that this is the only area of town that has synagogues etc. it.... Do we know if indeed that’s the case?
I agree but we both know how this story will turn out- they’ll get a budget increase and nobody will be held to account.
Try to imagine the headlines if a white guy (with a MAGA hat maybe) drove 22-26 minutes out of his way to a black neighborhood and entered a supermarket that catered to that demographic and then started shooting people. And he did this a few days before Kwanzaa begins. And he could have carried out his deed in a similar grocery store 5 minutes from his own home. It would be a hate crime automatically.
King Sooper is a Kroger branded store and part of a national chain, not some Jewish specialty shop.
All Kroger branded stores are called ‘kosher friendly’ on their websites, not just the one in Boulder Co.
There is nothing overtly Jewish about King Sooper in Boulder.
The fact your “news” source has a well known bias against Muslims might have something to do with this false narrative.
It’s clearly situated in a Jewish neighborhood and it would be safe to assume that there would be a high concentration of Jews inside. If a supermarket that was situated in a black neighborhood was attacked by white guy, we all know what the narrative would be. And if he executed his attack 5 days before Kwanza? He picked a target that was about 25 minutes away from his home. It was a kosher supermarket in a Jewish neighborhood. He carried out the attack while there was a high likelihood of there being large numbers of Jews shopping for passover. Go ahead and offer me another more plausible reason for his target selection.
They are just jealous...LOL
False...its NOT a Jewish neighborhood...in fact there are Catholic, Lutheran, Mennonite, LDS, Methodist, and several other Churches all within a six block area of the shooting.
Go peddle your lies elsewhere.
Much appreciate your spelled out tagline.
Somewhat less appreciative of the dual acronyms neither of which I happen at this very moment to get.
I’d venture to say the “Mob” itself could do a much better and efficient job for less money.
It’s called eliminating the competition.
Go peddle your lies elsewhere.
Quite the inflammatory statement.
I wouldn’t accuse you of trying to start a flame war but...
Alissa KNEW was being surveiled downstream of another, 'higher-ranked' slime person of interest, that is one hell of a sleeper cell reveal:
"His apparent suspicion that he was under surveillance...“Yeah if these racist islamophobic people would stop hacking my life phone and let me have a normal life I probably could,” he wrote in one July 2019 post, according to the Daily Beast.
Now notice the floating bs in this next paragraph:
"Family members were notified about two hours later...Ali Alissa told The Daily Beast he and his family have lived in Colorado for 20 years and said they are “so sorry” for the victims. He went to King Soopers shortly after the shooting and found his brother in a police cruiser. He had been looking for their third brother, who left to run errands. They could not get in touch with the third brother. That’s when he learned Ahmad Alissa was a suspect, he said.“I went to King Sooper that is close to our house to see if they are there, and then I saw a police car,” he said. “And then as I got closer to the police car, I saw my [other] brother was detained in the police car. That was 9:30 at night.”
So a bunch of things to sort out...
Feel free to google the location yourself and see how many churches there are in the immediate vicinity.
The fact some kook in Florida has decided the neighborhood is Jewish because it fits some narrative she’s peddling doesn’t make it so.
PIA: Pain in the ___
What you did offer is nonsense. Because there are non Jewish churches in the area doesn't mean that this wasn't a well known Kosher grocery store in the middle of multiple synagogues 5 days before passover.
He had to pick a target. He picked this one. Why? Why not the closer one? Provide an alternate explanation that makes more sense if you're so sure I'm wrong.
Let's look at another fact. He was already on the FBI's radar. Why? Inquiring minds want to know.
Boulder, Colorado mass shooting suspect known to FBI: report
The suspected gunman who killed 10 people in a mass shooting at a Boulder, Colorado, grocery store this week was previously known to the FBI, according to a report.
Ahmad Al Aliwi Alissa, a 21-year-old from the Denver suburb of Arvada, was linked to another individual under investigation by the bureau, The New York Times reported Tuesday, citing law enforcement officials. No further details were reported.
And this is supportive of my theory too:
Hanson herself hadn’t set foot in her neighborhood supermarket since the beginning of the pandemic, but this past Sunday, she and her son made the decision to do their Passover shopping in-person.
“It was my first time in that grocery store in a year,” Hanson said. “I did not want to have another year where I couldn’t buy my own Passover food.”
When terror struck that same store just 24 hours later, Hanson marveled at just how lucky she and her son had been, reminding him that if he had said “I’m too busy today, we need to go tomorrow,” a simple shopping trip could have turned into tragedy.
The preponderance of the evidence is on my side.
Yeah, he’s the one with the agenda here clearly. Not sure what it is yet. Read my rebuttal to him in post 94 if you’re interested.
My agenda is to stop conspiracy kooks from spreading lies about this event.
King Sooper is NOT a kosher supermarket.
The location where the shooting occurred is NOT a Jewish neighborhood.
The motive for the shooting has yet to be determined.
-btw there was a candlelight vigil for the community last night, led by the Cornerstone Church (which is only a few blocks away from the shooting site), as well as a number of the other local churches.
Ramadan starts 3/27/21 (for a month).
I am sure it was Islamic terror attack. Most terror attacks are Islam related.
Hanson herself hadn’t set foot in her neighborhood supermarket since the beginning of the pandemic, but this past Sunday, she and her son made the decision to do their Passover shopping in-person.
"King Sooper is NOT a kosher supermarket" my a**.
And there's still this pesky little detail that needs some 'splainin'.
The suspected gunman who killed 10 people in a mass shooting at a Boulder, Colorado, grocery store this week was previously known to the FBI, according to a report.
Ahmad Al Aliwi Alissa, a 21-year-old from the Denver suburb of Arvada, was linked to another individual under investigation by the bureau, The New York Times reported Tuesday, citing law enforcement officials.
And, finally, I think this pretty much confirms what I'm saying. That grocery store was in the Table Mesa neighborhood. Here's some fun facts about Table Mesa:
I kinda think we're done here mac. It's a Jewish neighborhood.
My old tagline here at FR was a Jewish quote in fact from a 9th circuit judge that many of us may still be familiar with, Jusge Alex Kozinski. he said:
All too many of the other great tragedies of history — Stalin’s atrocities, the killing fields of Cambodia, the Holocaust, to name but a few — were perpetrated by armed troops against unarmed populations. Many could well have been avoided or mitigated, had the perpetrators known their intended victims were equipped with a rifle and twenty bullets apiece, as the Militia Act required here. See Kleinfeld Dissent at 578-579. If a few hundred Jewish fighters in the Warsaw Ghetto could hold off the Wehrmacht for almost a month with only a handful of weapons, six million Jews armed with rifles could not so easily have been herded into cattle cars.
My excellent colleagues have forgotten these bitter lessons of history. The prospect of tyranny may not grab the headlines the way vivid stories of gun crime routinely do. But few saw the Third Reich coming until it was too late. The Second Amendment is a doomsday provision, one designed for those exceptionally rare circumstances where all other rights have failed — where the government refuses to stand for reelection and silences those who protest; where courts have lost the courage to oppose, or can find no one to enforce their decrees. However improbable these contingencies may seem today, facing them unprepared is a mistake a free people get to make only once.
With all this talk of gun control because of this attack against a Jewish supermarket no less, we would all be wise to remember Judge Kozinski's words here.
