    If this was a deranged white dude, he would’ve been tried and convicted on here already. Since he’s been identified as an Egyptian that overstayed his visa, shouting crap about freeing the dirt strip, and hurling Molotov cocktails at Jewish folks, the usual suspects are being predictably timid. Mustn't jump to conclusions on this one.

    Jewish people attacked were aged 68-82. If anyone dies, yes, the feds will take over and this terrorist would be put to death.

    Report: Boulder Terror Attack Suspect Is Illegal Alien Admitted Under Biden

    The only goon in this matter is the illegal Egyptian terrorist who was admitted by the Bidens and overstayed his authorized time here.

    It doesn't help matters that the left and the lamestream media is anti-Israel and antisemitic.

    CNN Trashes Kash Patel and Dan Bongino for Calling Colorado Pro-Hamas Terrorist Attack a Terrorist Attack

    CNN and the usual anti-America and anti-Israel antisemitic crowd must have hurt their heads diving into the shallow end of the pool.

    I usually think it's great when adults manage to hang onto their imagination as they get older.


    How upset are you truly about this thing that isn't actually happening in this thread?

    This is how I feel about hate crimes, but for terrorism, the point of distinguishing bt terrorism and crime, is that crime is individual and independent. 1 perp, 1 crime. Lock up the perp, neutralize the threat.

    Terrorism means there's an organization behind it (loose, or tightly organized and defined). Lock up the perp, and there remain countless behind him/her.

    Hence, by compartmentalizing the perp, you're playing into the terrorist organization's design, which is to insulate the org.

    Like mafia/hit man.

    You have to see past the agent, go after the principal, to neutralize the threat

    Jmho, fwiw.

    I don’t think an “act of terror” requires an organization behind it or a sophisticated plot. Although a sophisticated plot could pretty much only be terror by definition, not every attack is terror, and not every act of terror is “organized”. Look at those ISIS inspired attacks from a few years back. There was no particular organized “plot” (some as simple as any other mass shooting), but I’m pretty sure everyone would consider them acts of terror regardless. What defines it is the motive, the extremist ideology. That is true whether that ideology is Jihadism or something more akin to Dylan Roof or Timothy Mcveigh. If this guy was indeed a jihadist, it’s an act of terror. Petty simple and I don’t see much room for debate.

    Actually no, because the United States should never “outsource” justice.

    Neither did many iterations of the KKK, nor most of the neo-nazis orgs or "chapters", nor most street gangs, drug cartels...

    Ok, those things we could never get rid of by extreme policing? What's your point exactly? What can you really do about lone wolf attackers? We could press for a cease fire in Gaza I suppose, that might help ratchet down tensions. These people arent operationally different than a school shooter, and we kinda live and let live with that now.

    Mind blowing how warped our Lefties have become in the wake of DJT...

    Yall can't see your damn peckers past your own noses due to your blinding epidemic of TDS...

    This shit has nothing to do with Trump or GOP vs (Democrats)

    It's organized violence against Jews.

    There was a time when yall would be leading the @#$%&n charge against this disgusting shit.

    I didn’t say ISIS itself was not an organization. Clearly there was an organization. That doesn’t mean the plots carried out in the west were “organized”. Many of them were inspired by online propaganda and online self-radicalization. Since you seem to have misunderstood my point, it’s that a lone wolf attack can still be an act of terror. It doesn’t necessitate a “plot”. What makes it terror is the ideological motive, not the sophistication of (or even existence of) a plot. Hence why it’s already 100% clear this guy committed an act of terror.

    You seem to think it necessary that he was “receiving orders”.

    Also sort of demonstrates that "terrorism" isnt a useful designation for anything, other than to hand more power to the state

    Not alot of word on the condition of the injured other than piece mail reporting... one victim seems critical of the two victims who were flown away, 4 victims went to local hospital. Not sure on other two.

    Who's organizing it? Hamas' official doctrine is not to do operations outside their territory, these people arent even following Hamas' strategy.

    Attack the ideology, attack the mo'fo's who promote violence against a targeted group of ppl then hide behind the "lone wolf" she'll game... call bullshit when they try to insulate themselves behind attackers they actually deploy, motivate, celebrate, reward...

    Bet you'd be singing a whole different tune, if some org openly targeted commies, and it was open season against any commie sympathizers, and actual violent attacks against your warped ideological comrades ensued...

    (Then I'd probably be like "hey man, what's the big deal? It's just commie scum, yo!" Lol!)
