(March 23, 2021 / JNS) The Jewish Community Center of Boulder and area synagogues will hold a vigil on Tuesday evening so local residents can connect and grieve following a mass shooting at a supermarket not far from the University of Colorado.
Ten people, including one police officer, were killed when a gunman attacked a King Soopers supermarket in the Colorado city 30 miles northeast of Denver. All the victims have been identified; the youngest was 20 and the oldest 65. Police arrested the gunman, identified as 21-year-old Ahmad Al Aliwi Alissa from Arvada, Colo.
A Facebook post by Rabbi Fred Greene of Congregation Har Ha-Shem noted that his synagogue includes those who live in the neighborhood of the shooting.
“I know that we are feeling shock, fear, anger and so much more. I am sorry that as people were beginning to feel hopeful for [coronavirus] vaccines and a new beginning, another act of violence has shaken our community,” wrote Greene. “We are thinking of you who go to that area to shop. We are praying for the healing of those who are experiencing fear and trauma.”
Rabbi Marc Soloway of Congregation Bonai Shalom posted on Facebook: “Friends, I am sure we are all so shaken and frightened by how close today’s horrible shooting was to us. A store that so many of us have been in multiple times. While we wait with terror and sadness to learn more about the victims, I hope and pray that you and your loved ones are safe.”
Leaders of the Boulder JCC also expressed their sorrow and dismay regarding an incident of violence so close to home.
“Our hearts are with the Boulder community as the shooting at the King Soopers has unfolded before our eyes. We are shaken to our core, and we mourn the loss of life. Our thoughts are with the families of the victims, law enforcement and first responders who put their lives on the line for our beloved community,” said a social-media post signed by Jonathan Lev and Lee Strongwater, JCC’s executive director and board president.
“We are traumatized,” it continued. “This is our home, this is our grocery store. We have been there for each other throughout an incredibly difficult year. While we still don’t have many details on the shooting, we know there is more information to come in the hours and days ahead.”
It's not rocket science.
Media: “Hey, let’s talk about guns.”
Nothing about Stopping Anti-Jewish Hate?
lloominate Media has exclusively learned that Ahmad al-Issa, the ISIS inspired Islamic terrorist who killed 10 people in an attack on Monday, perpetrated his targeted attack on King Soopers, a kosher friendly supermarket in Boulder, Colorado. King Soopers is known by Jews as a place where they can purchase their food easily due to their extensive kosher items. The irony isn’t lost on me how a Radical Islamist, and ISIS member drove 25 miles out of his way to get to this specific store just to shoot everyone in sight. Yet, not a single mainstream outlet wants to talk about the fact that the location of the attack is a Jewish store, with a majority Jewish clientele. On their website, King Soopers advertises itself as “Your One-Stop Shop For Kosher Groceries”. Given that the Jewish holiday Passover begins on Saturday, March 27, 2021, many Jews around the world are spending this week shopping for groceries and supplies. Kosher Jews and religious Jews purchase their groceries from Kosher grocery stores like King Soopers.
If those guns were not so violent, we wouldn’t have these problems.
:-(
I wonder if white liberals in the suburbs will adorn their lawns with signs.
This is completely different than the Florida shooting where every leftie mouthpiece jumped to the conclusion it was racist, and cause by Trump blaming the virus on China. That narrative is unlikely, but the anti-Semitic angle is plausible.
Just curious how many of the victims were Jewish?
If so, he appears to have failed. He did a better job of targeting women.

David Hogg the camera coming up?
I haven’t seen anything indicating the victims were jewish.
“his synagogue includes those who live in the neighborhood of the shooting”
It seems that they are simply “shaken” by the proximity.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ahmad Al Aliwi Al Issa is from Syris.
It’s jihad, stupid.
(not you EPU)
So more gun control laws and gun free zone signs? That’ll work.
Signs like those in 1967 and 1968? “Soul Brother” and “This house is not armed.”
That didn’t last long.
And white supremacy...
And insurrection at The Capital....
And whites attacking Asians...
