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.

    They were marching in support of Israel dude… Like… Idk if you hear how braindead you sound. They were marching in support of Israel and to bring the hostages home. That’s by definition an Israeli protest.

      You said, “It’s a pro-Israel protest.”

      Then you said, “It’s not me saying it’s a pro-Israel protest.”

      Yeah, I sound braindead.

      And none of that is relevant to the fact these people were protesting for the release of hostages held by Hamas, which you have declared makes them intrinsically opposed to Palestine.
