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.

    Marching for 20 hostages to me implies they are completely okay with actions being taken against the Palestinian people. Why march for 20 when millions are facing starvation. Hell the total blockade means the hostages aren’t likely getting much food either.

    So either they don’t care about the genocide or they value the lives of millions as lesser.

    There was a time when I would have felt bad for these people, but I’m over it.

    As to what the right has to do with this, they have been the most enthusiastic supporters of the genocide. So seems like a fair assumption to me.

      So, if you dedicate time to literally anything but Gaza, it means that you don’t care about Palestinians whatsoever? Is that right?

        They’re dedicating time to the other side of the conflict. This isn’t a protest about some unrelated topic. This is directly related.

        So maybe save the bad faith arguments? Or at least make one that’s more convincing

          CIVILIANS on the other side.

          Bad faith is pretending to give a fuck about the death toll while dismissing any concern about innocent Jews being victimized.

            It’s civilians on both sides. Let’s not ignore that.

            If these were random people I’d feel bad, but they’ve made their stances clear. But continue with the anti-semetism claims. Favorite tactic of the far right these days.

              I’m not. You’re the one saying you can only care about civilians on one side.

              Their stance is that they don’t want Jews to be victimized for being Jews.

              I remember the far right saying the exact same thing.
