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.

        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
