MAGAtard shoots up supermarket in liberal town of Boulder, CO (10 dead including LEO)

It's a hedge for a reason (I reserve the right to rescind my concession upon further evidence). Is fox etal calling it a Muslim terrorist attack yet? How 'bout all these deplorables on ignore, they blaming it on Islam yet? GWB already hinted at it brining up his name.

Ali Aliwi Alissa, 34, told The Daily Beast in a phone interview that his brother was paranoid, adding that in high school he would talk about “being chased, someone is behind him, someone is looking for him.”

“When he was having lunch with my sister in a restaurant, he said, ‘People are in the parking lot, they are looking for me.’ She went out, and there was no one. We didn’t know what was going on in his head,” he said.
He said he was sure the shooting was “not at all a political statement, it’s mental illness.”


“The guy used to get bullied a lot in high school. He was like an outgoing kid, but after he went to high school and got bullied a lot, he started becoming anti-social,” the brother said.

Court records show Ahmad Alissa has at least one previous run-in with the law: an arrest after “cold cocking” a classmate at Arvada West High School in 2017.

According to court documents first obtained by KDVR, Alissa punched a classmate in the head without warning after he “had made fun of him and called him racial names weeks earlier.” The victim suffered bruising, swelling, and cuts to the head. Alissa pleaded guilty to an assault charge and was sentenced to two months of probation and 48 hours of community service in connection with that episode.

An Arvada Police spokesperson also confirmed Alissa had two interactions with local cops over the “past few years,” including cases involving allegations of simple assault and criminal mischief.

On a now-deleted Facebook page, Alissa described himself as “born in Syria 1999 came to the USA in 2002. I like wrestling and informational documentaries that’s me.” He also said he was “interested in “computer engineering/ computer science.... kickboxing.” Posts about mixed martial arts, especially jiu jitsu, dominated the page. Alissa sometimes posted about Islam, often about prayer or holidays.

He shared pictures of himself in his wrestling uniform from Arvada West High, as well as wearing medals from a fighting association.

Conrad, a former wrestling teammate of the suspect who spoke under the condition his last name be withheld, told The Daily Beast he was deeply surprised by the allegations, but that Alissa did have a temper.

“One thing I can tell you is he didn’t take losing very well,” he said. “I remember that in wrestling. He would throw his headgear, wouldn’t talk to the coaches when he lost. If I remember correctly, even cussed out one of the coaches one time.”


In one Facebook post, the suspect appeared to express fears that someone was targeting his phone for Islamophobic reasons.

“Yeah if these racist islamophobic people would stop hacking my phone and let me have a normal life I probably could,” he posted in July 2019.

He made similar allegations months earlier, accusing his former high school of hacking his phone. He asked Facebook followers for information about laws against phone hacking, and said he suspected someone was starting rumors about him, which “set off” the alleged hacking.

On Facebook, his politics appeared mixed throughout several camps. He shared an article rebuking Donald Trump’s stance on immigration, but also posted about his own opposition to gay marriage and abortion.

A day after the 2019 Christchurch mosque shootings in New Zealand, Alissa had shared a Facebook post from another user that read, “The Muslims at the #christchurch mosque were not the victims of a single shooter. They were the victims of the entire Islamophobia industry that vilified them.”


The warrant described Alissa as being armed with either an assault rifle or "black AR-15" and wearing a "tactical" or "armored" vest.

The suspect had "removed all of his clothing and was dressed only in shorts" when he was taken into custody, the affidavit said. Outside the store, the document said, Alissa wouldn't tell police whether there were other suspects, but he did ask to speak to his mother.
Using law enforcement databases, the affidavit said, investigators determined Alissa had purchased a Ruger AR556 pistol on March 16.https://www.cnn.com/2021/03/23/us/boulder-colorado-shooting-suspect/index.html

Boulder shooting suspect Ahmad Al Aliwi Alissa: What we know
10 people were killed in the Boulder shooting, including a police officer
https://www.foxnews.com/us/boulder-shooting-suspect-ahmad-al-aliwi-alissa-what-we-know

More details are emerging the day after a 21-year-old identified as the alleged suspect killed 10 people, including a police officer, during a mass shooting at a Boulder, Colorado, grocery store this week.

The suspect allegedly bought the firearm used in the attack six days earlier, and was known by former classmates to be short-tempered and paranoid, according to reports and an arrest affidavit released Tuesday.

The document did not disclose where Ahmad Al Aliwi Alissa, from the Denver suburb of Arvada, bought the Ruger AR-556 but stated he did so on March 16. Just six days later, he allegedly shot multiple people outside the King Soopers on Table Mesa before entering the store and continuing the killing spree inside.

Alissa was booked into Boulder County Jail on Tuesday after receiving treatment for a gunshot wound. He has been charged with 10 counts of first-degree murder.

Police are still investigating the motive in the attack and said they are collecting statements from him. Officials did not provide much information about the suspect, but Boulder County District Attorney Michael Dougherty said Alissa had lived "most of his life in the United States."

Dougherty's office would not provide additional information when contacted by Fox News on Tuesday.

The affidavit also describes how one of Alissa’s relatives recalled seeing Alissa "playing with a gun she thought looked like a ‘machine gun’ about two days" prior to the attack.

The relative said she and other family members "were upset with Alissa for playing with the gun in the house and took the gun," and believed that by the time of her interview with police on Monday, the gun was back in Alissa’s room, according to the document.

On a Facebook page purported to belong to Alissa, he wrote messages that criticized former President Donald Trump's response to immigration and refugees, allegedly writing "Trump is such a d---." He also purportedly complained about not having a girlfriend and shared wrestling photos.

Speaking to the Denver Post, a former classmate, Dayton Marvel, said Alissa was "kind of scary to be around" and had once made threats against people during a wrestling match.

"His senior year, during the wrestle-offs to see who makes varsity, he actually lost his match and quit the team and yelled out in the wrestling room that he was like going to kill everybody," said Marvel, who reportedly graduated in Arvada West High School’s Class of 2018. "Nobody believed him. We were just all kind of freaked out by it, but nobody did anything about it."

Marvel also told the Post how Alissa "would talk about him being Muslim and how if anybody tried anything, he would file a hate crime and say they were making it up."

"I just know he was a pretty cool kid until something made him mad, and then whatever made him mad, he went over the edge -- way too far," Marvel continued, according to the report.

The Denver Post also cited an affidavit in describing how Alissa reportedly assaulted an Arvada West classmate in 2017, when he was 18, by punching him repeatedly, including in the head. According to the reported affidavit, the person Alissa was said to have attacked "had made fun of him and called him racial names weeks earlier."

Another former classmate and wrestling teammate, Angel Hernandez, told the outlet Alissa was often paranoid.

"He was always talking about [how] people were looking at him and there was no one ever where he was pointing people out," Hernandez told the Post.

Hernandez added: "The sad thing about it is that if you really were to get to know him, he was a good guy … But you could tell there was a dark side in him. If he did get ticked off about something, within a split second, it was like if something takes over, like a demon. He’d just unleash all his anger," the newspaper reported.

Police first received a call around 2:40 p.m. local time Monday for a report of an active shooter at the supermarket on Table Mesa Drive. One of the callers described the shooter "as a White male, middle-aged with dark hair, a beard, a black vest and a short-sleeved shirt," according to the affidavit. Another caller claimed he was "wearing an armored vest and was about 5'8" tall, with a chubby build."

Witnesses also called to describe the shooter as having a black AR-15-style gun and blue jeans.

Multiple people described how the suspect shot at people inside and outside the store, including outside his vehicle.

The affidavit also said employees of the supermarket told investigators that the suspect allegedly shot an elderly man multiple times outside the store before going inside. Another person was found shot and in a vehicle next to a car registered to the suspect’s brother, the affidavit said.

Other people called to say they were hiding inside the grocery store as the suspect opened fire on customers.

"There were reports of ‘parties down’ from witnesses and a report that the male suspect shot at police," the affidavit continued.

The wounded police officer, Eric Talley, could not be saved. Talley. 51, was an 11-year veteran of the force and leaves behind seven children, including one as young as 5 years old.

Several video clips -- both on the ground and from aerial cameras -- showed a shirtless, bearded man being led out of the store in handcuffs, while he limped and appeared to be bleeding from one of his legs.

Another officer who responded to the shooting discovered Talley, and then saw Alissa "with an assault rifle of an unknown make and brand, who was shooting toward him," the affidavit states.

In addition to Talley, authorities have identified the victims as Denny Stong, 20; Neven Stanisic, 23; Rikki Olds, 25; Tralona Bartkowiak, 49; Suzanne Fountain, 59; Teri Leiker, 51; Kevin Mahoney, 61; Lynn Murray, 62, and Jody Waters, 65.

By the time Alissa was in custody, he had been struck by a bullet that passed through his leg, the affidavit said. According to the document, police suspect he rid himself of his "gear" inside the King Soopers, leaving behind items including "a green tactical vest, a rifle (possible AR-15), a semiautomatic handgun, a pair of jeans and a dark-colored long-sleeved short."

Police said Alissa did not answer officers’ questions when they first arrested him but did ask to speak to his mother.

Boulder Police Chief Maris Herold said Tuesday she did not believe Alissa was known to her department. Meanwhile, law enforcement officials told The New York Times his identity was known to the FBI because of his alleged connection to a different person whom the bureau was investigating.

I always have to fact check fox, I saw the "Dump is such a dick" screenshot and it may as well have been shopped, not to mention the sock puppet accounts that spring up once the name is out there.
 
Guess who else has to walk back their nonsense about the shooter....

Kamala Harris' niece walks back tweet assuming race of Boulder suspect
https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2021/mar/23/meena-harris-kamala-harris-niece-walks-back-tweet-/

Author Meena Harris, the niece of Vice President Kamala Harris, walked back a tweet Monday that assumed the alleged shooter in Colorado was a White man.

“The Atlanta shooting was not even a week ago. Violent white men are the greatest terrorist threat to our country,” Ms. Harris wrote. She later deleted the tweet but stopped short of apologizing, writing, “Insecure men getting defensive about this my god y’all are so f—-ing fragile.”

ITT: Syrians can't be white:

You go tell the shooter's family who immigrated from Syria that they are "white" and you earmarked their son as a "MAGAtard".

I was getting my photo taken at a local pharmacy so that I can take it to the U.S. Embassy and French embassy to up date my passports...same of my teenagers.

There was this guy in front of me...very pale, white but his accent was similar to another person I met years back when I was in the hospital...a guy from Syria.

The store clerk refer to him as a "white male" and the guy almost had a fit and then demanded to look at her paper work to ensure she did not put down "white male". He told her he was Syrian...then he said...do I look White to you ?

Another example, many many years ago when I first joined the military...one of my pals in OCS school was pale and his hair is so red...it didn't look real. He hated when people refer to him as White when in fact he was Puerto Rican but from Alabama.

Hopefully the shooter didn't develop anger issues because too many people thought he was White over the years while he was growing up. It would be offensive to some ethnicity.

Don't judge a book by its cover.
