BOULDER, Colo — Six people calling for the release of Israeli hostages in Gaza were injured at an outdoor mall in Boulder, Colorado, by a man who police say used a makeshift flamethrower and hurled an incendiary device into a crowd. The FBI immediately described Sunday's violence as a “targeted terror attack.”

The suspect, identified by the FBI as 45-year-old Mohamed Sabry Soliman, yelled “Free Palestine” during the attack on the group of demonstrators, said Mark Michalek, the special agent in charge of the FBI’s Denver field office.

Soliman was arrested and taken to the hospital for treatment, but authorities didn’t elaborate on his injuries.

The group had gathered at the Pearl Street pedestrian mall, a four-block area in downtown Boulder frequented by tourists and students.

The people hospitalized for injuries in the Pearl Street attack range in age from 67 to 88.

Photos from the scene showed a woman lying on the ground in the fetal position with her hair soaked, and a man helping her and getting water from someone with a water jug.

The injuries authorities found were consistent with reports of people being set on fire, Boulder Police Chief Steve Redfearn said, adding that injuries ranged from serious to minor

Mohamed Sabry Soliman, 45, was arrested at the scene. No charges were immediately announced, but officials said they expect to hold him “fully accountable.”

Video from the scene showed him shirtless and wearing jeans and holding two clear bottles with a transparent liquid in them while shouting at onlookers.

“This act of terror is being investigated as an act of ideologically motivated violence based on the early information, the evidence, and witness accounts. We will speak clearly on these incidents when the facts warrant it,” FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino said in a post on X.

If you're going to protest, be sure and carry a fire blanket and a portable personal foam spray can of B series fire suppressant

If anybody throws liquid at me, I'm assuming it's for the purpose of igniting it

I will act accordingly

Islam is EVIL and needs to be eradicated

I bet it was painful for AP to report ANY of the facts about the perpetrator, including his first name. I’m kind of surprised that they, and any of the rest of the leftist media mentioned it all once any of the basic facts came out, beyond “ “Someone did something” in Boulder Colorado.”

The Drive-By Media will report that Mohamed Sabry Soliman used “mostly peaceful” flames.

Islam, the democRATS and DemoKKKrats practice their Two Minutes Of Hate..... Every two minutes.

CNN had some liberal beotch scold, denigrating DOJ and Patel for calling it a terrorist incident. Why? Because the Boulder police "didn't want to jump to conclusions".

Have authorities identified the Imam who encouraged Moh try to kill infidels? What mosque bankrolled Moh and paid his living expenses and travel?

WHY does God allow such things ??
,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Because ‘we the people’ have shoved God OUT of our nation. We welcome Sodomy culture, ‘lighting’ the White House’ in queer colors, we love TRANS righteousness, and every wickedness.

Good advice on what to take to a protest.

“...Mohamed Sabry Soliman, yelled “Free Palestine”...” I am sure that Mr. Soliman was one of those right wing Amish conservative terrorists that voted for Trump, or at least I expect some MSM talking head to say something to that effect. (/sarcasm)

This is clearly an act of terrorism and should be treated as such.

Contrary to prior post on this thread I will wait and see what President Trump’s DOJ does before complaining nothing will be done.

It is after all a Federal Crime not just a state crime.

Juliette Kayyem, your basic populist/MAGA hater from way back.

“During the blockade of the Ambassador Bridge by truckers in February 2022, Kayyem was accused of promoting vigilantism when she tweeted “The Ambassador Bridge link constitutes 28% of annual trade movement between US and Canada. Slash the tires, empty gas tanks, arrest the drivers, and move the trucks.”

I’m guessing that the Right To Keep And Bear Arms is forbidden in Colorado.

What these victims were doing was bringing remembrance to the victims of October 7th. Protest, I think not. It was no more a protest than a breast cancer walk or a march for life. Don’t let the media declare the narrative.

The Daily Mail states that the 88 year old that was injured is a Holocaust survivor. Did the AP bother to mention that fact?

God has “allowed” such things from the very beginning of mankind. One might also ask... is there anything that is or has been beyond God’s control? Like, for instance, Satan having been allowed access to the Garden of Eden. Is it possible that there is a plan and intention behind it all? (psst...it’s all a test)

A friend us to carry in his car’s center consol.
When asked he said he’d rather be tried than dead.
