Last night, there was a tragic mass shooting in Boulder, Colorado.
But instead of waiting for the facts to come out…
Instead of taking time to mourn the dead…
The left took advantage of the tragedy to immediately begin pushing for gun control.
They created a narrative that this was another lone “white male” shooter.
The problem?
It turns out that the shooter, Ahmad Alyssa, is likely a Muslim.
But beyond that, there are now reports that he may be a Syrian refugee that was given asylum under Barack Obama.
If this is true, this would suggest that this was more than just a mass shooting…
This would be an act of terror.
That’s right. It would be a terrorist attack.
But Democrats didn’t wait for the truth.
They began politicizing the issue immediately, even though all the facts were NOT known.
See some examples below:
THREAD: Here are all the idiotic leftists who immediately jumped to politicize the tragic Boulder shooting to push their narrative, only for it all to fall apart when it turns out the shooter is muslim…

Race-baiting blue checks immediately assumed that the Boulder shooter was white. Turns out he’s Middle Eastern.
Well done, race-baiting blue checks. pic.twitter.com/psarLFvGKg

As though that wasn’t enough…
The media even attempted to paint this guy as a Trump supporter!
But since when has a Trump supporter ever committed violence?!
Nobody who jumped to wrong conclusions last night about how the Boulder shooter must be a “Trumper” and “white guy” is even a little bit sorry or embarrassed
Leftists don’t care they were wrong. It gave them a pretext to spit in your face, they took it.
That’s who they are.

According to reputable, independent journalist Jack Posobiec, the shooter may have been a Syrian refugee who was let into the United States by Barack Hussein Obama.

The Daily Mail reports that the Syrian-born terrorist was known to the FBI before his shooting rampage:
Ahmad Alissa, the 21-year-old gunman responsible for a mass shooting at a Colorado grocery store on Monday, was known to the FBI and had ranted online about ‘racist islamophobes’ hacking his phone.
Alissa asked if he could speak with his mother after surrendering to police on Monday, having stripped off and laid down his down his Ruger AR-556 rifle, handgun and tactical vest in the supermarket’s aisles.
A high school wrestler who has been described by his family as ‘mentally ill’, was born in Syria and moved to the US when he was three.
He now lives in Arvada, Colorado, around 30 miles from the grocery store he targeted.
At 2.40pm on Monday, he opened fire on the King Soopers grocery store in Boulder, killing ten people. He was taken into custody at 3.28pm and was transported to the hospital to be treated for a leg wound. He has since been released from the hospital and is now in Boulder County Jail.
Police have not yet confirmed his motive. He has been charged with ten counts of murder.
In Facebook posts over the last 18 months, he complained about not having a girlfriend, ranted about President Trump and talked about his Islamic faith.
The New York Times reported on Tuesday that he was known to the FBI because he was linked to another person who has been under investigation for something else. They didn’t give any more details.
His brother confirmed he was the shooter in an interview with The Daily Beast on Tuesday, saying he was ‘paranoid’ and ‘very antisocial’. The brother said he believes he is mentally ill, and described how he was convinced people were ‘after him’ in high school.
In a July 2019 Facebook post, he ranted: ‘Yeah if these racist Islamophobic people would stop hacking my phone and let me have a normal life I probably could.’
His arrest affidavit, which was released on Tuesday morning, reveals that after shooting a man once in the grocery store parking lot, Alissa then approached him while he was still laying on the ground and shot him again, repeatedly.
Witnesses described Alissa – who is 200lbs and 5ft 6 – as ‘fat’ and said he was wearing a green tactical vest. When police arrested him, he’d removed the vest, his top and his shoes, and was wearing shorts. He was shot once in the right leg in a standoff with police.
Alissa’s sister-in-law told police she had seen him playing with a ‘machine gun’ gun in the days before the shooting but that she didn’t suspect anything. He bought a Ruger AR- 556 pistol exactly a week ago on March 16, 2021 on March 16. Monday’s shooting in Colorado is the seventh mass shooting in the country and comes just a week after a gunman killed eight people at three massage spas in Georgia.
On Tuesday, President Biden gave an address to the nation about the shooting. He said he would not ‘speculate’ on the shooter’s motive but used the shooting to call for a ban on assault weapons across the country.
‘Less than a week after the murders of eight people, while a flag was still flying half staff, another American city has been scarred by trauma.
‘While we’re still waiting for more information.
‘I don’t need to wait another minute to take common sense steps that will save lives. We can ban assault weapons and high capacity magazines in this country. We should do it again. The Senate should immediately pass the house bills that closed loopholes in the background system.
‘This is not and should not be a partisan issue.
‘We have to act. We should also ban assault weapons in the process.
‘I’ll have much more to say… but I want to be clear: those poor folks who died left behind families. We can save lives.’
It’s unfortunate that even the Biden administration appears to be using this tragedy to push for more gun control.
And it’s unfortunate that the Democrats and their allies in the media immediately attempted to blame this on President Trump.
It is clear, however, that this is Trump hater.
And it is more likely than not that he is a terrorist.
Looks like the narrative is about to change real fast on the Boulder mass shooter, whose surname is most prevalent in Saudi Arabia.
Now people can jump to a whole new set of assumptions, based on incomplete information!

We're about to witness the Boulder shooting magically disappear from coverage on every mainstream news channel right before our eyes.
– The shooter's name is middle-eastern (I refuse to repeat it)
– The shooter posted on FB multiple times about how he hated Trump

More details from the Jewish Voice appear to imply that this was indeed an act of radical Islamic terror:
The gunman who allegedly opened fire in a Boulder, Colorado, grocery store on Monday has been identified as 21-year-old Ahmad Al Aliwi Alissa by the New York Times.
ABC News reported he came from Syria as a child.
The New York Post reports that Alissa was charged with “charged with 10 counts of first-degree murder” on Tuesday. Boulder police chief Maris Harold noted that Alissa lived in Arvada, Colorado, and pointed out that his ten alleged victims were between the ages of 20 and 65 years of age. NPR reports that the deceased included a 51-year-old police officer.
When this horrific story broke on Monday night, Twitter exploded with left-wing commentators claiming the maniac was an “angry White MAGA supporting right-wing radical”, based on the blurry photo initially released by Boulder authorities.
The blue check Twitter crowd was wrong, as we learned the suspect is a devout Muslim from Syria, who believed in anti-Muslim conspiracy theories, hated Trump, and supported the left-wing cause of welcoming more Muslim migrants.
Internet sleuths were quick to learn more about the suspect’s background and ideology based on social media posts before big tech went to work removing every trace of the madman.
Facebook has removed all access to the Facebook profile believed to belong to Ahmad Al Issa, the person identified by police as the King Soopers shooting suspect who killed 10 in the Boulder, Colorado shooting, National File reported
Screenshots of the Facebook page taken by Twitter users reveal that Al Issa was a devout Muslim who believed in conspiracy theories.
Ahmad Al Issa’s profile was abruptly removed from the website, internet archive websites including the Archive.is and the Wayback machine, and Google’s cache nearly simultaneously.
On March 16, 2019, Al Issa shared a conspiracy theory that there was more than one shooter involved in the horrific Christchurch Mosque Shooting that occurred in New Zealand.
Similarly, Al Issa believed he was under attack from “racist Islamophobic people” who were “hacking” his smartphone. “Yeah if these racist islamophobic people would stop hacking my phone and let me have a normal life I probably could,” wrote Al Issa on June 5, 2019.

Do you think this was yet another mass shooting?
Or do you think this was an act of radical Islamic terror?
