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.

    The fact that the government perpetuating the war doesn’t want the hostages released so as to preserve their justification for war.

            If it was actually a rally in support of the hostages, then it would be an anti-Israel protest over that government’s refusal to accept any deal to secure their release and the active perpetuation of military “rescue” operations that have killed said hostages.

            By all accounts, this was a pro-Israel rally.

                You presume a lot about who I am and what I think, lol~

                It’s not me saying that it was a pro-Israel protest. I wasn’t there, don’t know this group, and I’m reading the same reporting you are.

                    They were marching in support of Israel dude… Like… Idk if you hear how braindead you sound. They were marching in support of Israel and to bring the hostages home. That’s by definition an Israeli protest.

                    No I didn’t, I said “By all accounts”, specifically referring to the other people whose claims I was referencing.
