The breakup of the year. FEMA forgets what hurricanes are. Trump dumps the Federalist Society. Dems try out normalcy. Biden says et tu, Kari
→ Super duper lone wolf: Mohamed Soliman—an Egyptian immigrant—is accused of firebombing a small, weekly vigil in Boulder held for the Israeli hostages. Soliman—who reportedly had a tourist visa and then a work authorization under Biden, both of which had expired, but it was the era of immigration YOLO so he was in Colorado Springs having a blast—said he did it for Palestine, according to authorities. Now, given that reporters are in favor of the movement, the mainstream media had a few options to disappear this one. And they tried ’em all. First, they tried to make it sound like the opposite: Maybe this was an attack on a protest for Gaza. Ever considered that?
Fine, that didn’t stick. What about: The attacker was a lone wolf whose act had no political implications. You ever thought of how hard it is to make town squares into military-grade security corridors? That’s the question to ask now.
Those insecure public spaces are the real criminals, if you ask me.
Others asked us to consider whether the elderly Jewish Americans Mohamed allegedly lit on fire were truly peaceful. Here’s CNN: “A man reportedly set people on fire in Boulder, Colorado, leaving multiple individuals injured, the city’s police chief said, as people gathered for a ‘peaceful’ pro-Israeli demonstration.” Quote, unquote. “Peaceful,” but I heard that old lady sleeps with a bat under her bed. So. You tell me.
Okay, we’re getting somewhere here. Next, we just need to forget those charred Colorado Jews and focus on the flamethrower’s family. The only victim USA Today chose to profile was the suspected Molotov Man’s daughter. “Boulder suspect’s daughter dreamed of studying medicine. Now she faces deportation.” Very smart to keep her centered here. Now we’re cooking.
ABC News thought it was a good peg to note that Islamophobia is the real problem, not antisemitism. “While some politicians and pro-Israel activists have used antisemitism as a catchall word for an alleged motive in the attack, the suspect told investigators, ‘This had nothing to do with the Jewish community.’ ” That clears it up! Thank you, ABC. I was worried for a sec, but if it has nothing to do with the Jewish community, I’ll just go ahead and stop locking my door.
So in conclusion, nothing happened, it’s weird to jump to that conclusion, potentially Islamophobic, and if it did happen, it’s not what you think. Also: Do we really want to discourage doctors from practicing in America? Sounds anti-American dream, if you ask me. If we get rid of the doctors, who will treat the burns of the people who had a Molotov cocktail thrown at them?
