Witnesses at the scene told CBS Colorado that the suspect attacked people with Molotov cocktails who were participating in a walk to remember the Israeli hostages who remain in Gaza.

Run For Their Lives, which organized the walk, said, “This is not a protest; it is a peaceful walk to show solidarity with the hostages and their families, and a plea for their release.” The group met at 1 p.m. at Pearl Street and 8th Street to walk the length of the Pearl Street Mall and back with a stop at the courthouse for a video.

    I promise you it is 100% their genocidal actions I take issue with and not their religion.

          Where the fuck does the government come into this? These are individual Jews coming together calling for the release of their own.

                If it was actually a rally in support of the hostages, then it would be an anti-Israel protest over that government’s refusal to accept any deal to secure their release and the active perpetuation of military “rescue” operations that have killed said hostages.

                By all accounts, this was a pro-Israel rally.

                  It is endlessly fascinating that you people seem to think you are the sole determinators of what a legitimate political demonstration is, despite the fact that your demonstrations have not only failed to accomplish what you want, but have actively distanced you from your supposed goal.

                  They marched quietly holding signs of the hostages. The fact you equate this with supporting Israel just proves you don’t give a fuck about Palestinians, you’re an antisemite looking for an excuse.

                    You presume a lot about who I am and what I think, lol~

                    It’s not me saying that it was a pro-Israel protest. I wasn’t there, and I’m reading the same reporting you are.
