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.

    …were participating in a walk to remember the Israeli hostages who remain in Gaza.

    Just forgetting about the Palestinian hostages held by Israel?

    I have conflicting feelings. On one hand this was a horrific attack on a peaceful walk. On the otherhand they only care about Israeli hostages and that rubs me in all the wrong ways.

      Ah, so that’s why the FBI is going in now, instead of literally any other time this has happened in the past 8-10 years (at least)
