Suspect posed as a gardener in Boulder attack and planned to kill all in group he called 'Zionist'
apnews.com
Authorities say a man posed as a gardener before launching an attack in Boulder with Molotov cocktails that injured 12 people.

A man accused of throwing Molotov cocktails into a Colorado group that had gathered to bring attention to Israeli hostages in Gaza planned the attack for more than a year and specifically targeted what he described as a “Zionist group,” authorities said in court papers unsealed Monday charging him with a federal hate crime.

Witnesses in Boulder said the suspect, Mohammed Sabry Soliman, 45, yelled “Free Palestine” and used a makeshift flamethrower and incendiary devices. Eight people were injured in the attack, some with burns, as a group was concluding their weekly demonstration.

An FBI affidavit says Soliman confessed to the attack after being taken into custody Sunday and told the police he would do it again.

          Based on fucking this. Read the fucking article.

          https://www.kenklippenstein.com/p/read-elias-rodriguezs-leaked-chats

          The chat logs reveal a man who hated the Republican and Democratic parties, Kamala Harris, Joe Biden, Donald Trump, the right and left, the “bourgeoisie,” the United States, the West, and, of course, Israel. He even hated the only political group I could find he’d associated with.

          “PSL sucks shit,” Rodriguez wrote in one of many messages lambasting the obscure Party for Socialism and Liberation that he had once participated in. “I wish I had just done a misadventure with FRSO [Freedom Road Socialist Org] rather than PSL lol,” he wrote.

          Still, when it came to race, Rodriquez’s hatred seemed reserved for white people.

            Hey, quick question. What’s the name of the guy this post, which you very definitely didn’t read, is about?

            Is it Elias Rodriquez? No? Huh.

              Oh shit! I was thinking about the other lefty zionist killer. You’re right, this is the zionist attacker who’s commitment to communism and anarchy are unknown and whose right to buy a gun was denied because he’s not a legal resident.

              Apologies! Totally different guy.

              Although they did mention Elias in there, so - half credit?
