Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Guys

Mohammed Suliman is my Name

agony-shivering

[–] Sinisterium@hexbear.net 28 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Silly the dude was named Mohamed with just one m! Thats a major difference.

[–] MohammedTheCommunistPalestinian@hexbear.net 29 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Ik you're joking but in arabic the name is identical in spelling also

[–] Sinisterium@hexbear.net 20 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Romanization of different scripts is truly something.

[–] CthulhusIntern@hexbear.net 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Aren't Chang, Zhang, Chung, Tsang, Tsung, etc. all just different romanizations of the same name as well?

Not exactly, but there's some overlap due to different romanization systems, yes.

Everyone has the right to resist, just ask this :Fidel-sad

Bushnell tried the peaceful route. Countless people around the world tried the peaceful route. Y’all chose violence.

[–] VibeCoder@hexbear.net 36 points 1 day ago (1 children)

According to the news release, Soliman yelled, “Free Palestine” during the attack.

Bet they criminalize this phrase soon

[–] RedWizard@hexbear.net 33 points 1 day ago

Its genocidal language according to Barko Rubio. You can get your visa rejected for saying it, or tweeting it, or probably even liking a tweet, since they want to start investigating peoples social media accounts as part of the visa / immigration process.

[–] technocrit@lemmy.dbzer0.com 25 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

I can't imagine how awful it must be to have these genocidal terrorists marching regularly in your town. Zero surprise that somebody resisted.

[–] RangeFourHarry@hexbear.net 1 points 1 day ago

He wasn’t from Boulder, he drove up from southern Colorado

[–] Crucible@hexbear.net 26 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Zionist media I heard this morning too afraid to quote 'free Palestine' and just using 'pro-Palestinian language,' so it's not even a specific phrase that's bad now it's saying anything pro-Palestine.

In hospital with unspecified injuries, very strong chance he burned himself with the molotov cocktails. People are always pouring burning gasoline on themselves when they try these things out the first time

You can even read a guide on proper construction and usage on Wikipedia, quoting segments of a manual for Allies in WW2. This guy seemed a bit unhinged, with the right steps it seems simple to avoid that, but in the heat of the moment (heh) I'm sure it's different, I've never used one.

[–] porcupine@lemmygrad.ml 29 points 1 day ago

Schumer, Jeffries, and Warren all unsurprisingly lining up behind the Trump administration to condemn the continued existence of Palestinians and anyone speaking or acting in defense of their survival. May they all suffer a fraction of the misery they’ve inflicted on Gaza along with every other genocidal freak dishonoring the memory of Hitler’s victims in support of Hitler’s policies.

[–] D61@hexbear.net 21 points 1 day ago (1 children)

The news release said that witnesses saw the attacker using a makeshift flamethrower as he lobbed incendiary devices – meant to start fires – at the gathering.

This is way to bazinga for me.

How long before "the FBI was aware of this person" statements?

[–] RedWizard@hexbear.net 13 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I don't even know what they mean by "flamethrower". In the video I posted yesterday, there was nothing close to what looked like a "flamethrower". He clearly had two glass bottles with rags coming out the mouth. There was something on the ground that looked like a container or some kind, burned, but it had the shape of a kettle or something.

[–] D61@hexbear.net 1 points 3 hours ago

Using the literal description of "device that throws flames" to make a can of hairspray and a BIC lighter sound scarier.

[–] tocopherol@hexbear.net 14 points 1 day ago

Not confirmed for sure but I heard someone on the video say he had a spray bottle with alcohol, you can spray it into a lighter, which so many teenagers have done, it's hilarious to call that a 'makeshift flamethrower' though that isn't necessarily inaccurate.

Stephen Miller, the White House deputy chief of staff for policy, claimed in a post on X that the Boulder attack was carried out by an “illegal alien”.

Without naming Soliman, Miller said the suspect had overstayed a tourist visa granted to him by the government of former US President Joe Biden. “In response, the Biden Administration gave him a work permit. Suicidal migration must be fully reversed,” Miller wrote.

Al Jazeera was not able to independently verify Soliman’s immigration status in the US.

They're really pushing for a unicorn assailant it would seem.

[–] PorkrollPosadist@hexbear.net 10 points 1 day ago

Once again, the fruitless question of "false flag or adventurism?" surfaces. It doesn't matter, the kettle is boiling.

[–] GaryLeChat@lemmygrad.ml 11 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I don't understand why people who feel the need to do DA in the US recently don't actually go to the source (means of production).

This doesn't really feel like there was any strategic planning put in, rather an act for personal catharsis. It's a good barometer of frustration building up but without channelling that frustration strategically, it's a waste.

Honestly reeks of liberal individualism and adventurism.

[–] oscardejarjayes@hexbear.net 7 points 1 day ago

I mean, if you watch the video it's pretty clear this guy wasn't doing great. He was slurring quite heavily, and didn't really look like he had great coordination.

A lot of these single-person direct actions seems to be like that, while groups like Palestine Action make much more effective change.

[–] LaughingLion@hexbear.net 3 points 1 day ago

destructive DA like sabotage or whatever involves throwing wooden clogs into the gears of the machines, not at your coworkers

[–] SevenSkalls@hexbear.net 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Can't condone it, but also can't be surprised people will try to resist violently after peaceful resistance hasn't worked for so long. I'm surprised there's not more violence as we approach the final phases of a genocide.

[–] stink@lemmygrad.ml 4 points 1 day ago

Fuck em, 2 years of genocide and they still want to be victims. Let them be burn victims if thats the case
