[Boiler 47,356]

Initial reports mention Molotov cocktails targeting a Jewish procession

i saw that.  antifa or free palestine is my guess.

[Ban Hammer 14,234]

just saw on facebook that the suspect is named as Mohamed sabry soliman, apparently from egypt and entered the usa
and overstayed his visa.

Obviously Amish.

Can not say I am a fan of the DM but they do tend to get this ort of new first:

 

It has been hot up here so much hotter in Boulder.

It seems he came as a visitor in 2022, has a work permit? how? All I can think of is a fake asylum claim.

I agree, I am curious what his basis was for getting a work permit after overstaying his B2 entry.

When I first saw the guy I thought that he's the atypical American "bubba" a not very bright sort of dude, that spends his days ranting online, drinking heavily, and does lots of the sort of things I see around town every day. Turns out he still looks like that sort of dude, just Egyptian. Well this loony guy gets to go to jail for a long time.

 

Implying that he had an asylum claim in the queue and a work permit (assuming EAD?) that had expired a few days ago. I've been asking around if perhaps he could renew such an EAD and was waiting for an NOA. Was told that might be possible but not sure. Wouldn't a B1/B2 be pretty hard for him to get and wasn't he pretty well vetted for that? Not a lot of other background info on him either. It's not like they are saying his asylum claim was ever denied or approved. Very odd.

Just heard that the FBI affidavit states he had been plotting it for a year but was waiting until his daughter graduated. So he has family members here? Wait... a wife and five kids? They surely all can't have come with B2s?

Quote

Shameka Pruiett knew Soliman and his family as kindly neighbors with five children, three young kids and two teenagers, who’d play with Pruiett’s kids in front of their building, share food and hellos. But she said when she saw Soliman on video in Boulder, shirtless and holding bottles with flames licking up the grass in front of him, it was hard to recognize him.

 

“There had to be something deeply disturbing him, cause that is not the guy we see in the neighborhood,” Pruiett said.

Another neighbor, Kierra Johnson, who lives in the apartment next to Soliman’s, said she could often hear shouting at night from his apartment and once called police because of the screaming and yelling.

Watching the news, Channel 9, this is very awkward for them. They said he has a wife and 5 children in the Springs.

 

I assume they all came as tourists, suppose he could have married a ready made family when he got here?

 

If he has EAD and a lot of reports he does, well asylum or being sponsored by a new US wife would be the only realistic ways?

 

Issuing visitor visas to asylum producing countries is slightly off, contradictory. I like watching Hacking and it seems most of his dodgy cases involve a Visitor visa entry, and you always wonder how they ever got one.

I mean I would expect that adjusting his B to a spousal would have been a far better way to remain than an asylum claim. Would be interested in his background in Egypt. Claiming political or religious persecution? I'm just so skeptical that the entire family could get visit visas.

I was just thinking of Hacking, missed his show on my lunch break now. His wife is Egyptian and wonder how he responded, will watch later.

 

Anyone can make an Asylum claim and then in 10 years whatever worry about it then.

 

Hacking had a lady on a few weeks back and she was talking about her Asylum claim and I was thinking well she is speaking with a northern non indigenous regional accent. Anyway he did not realise and it went on for a while before he asked her where she was from, UK.

 

Hacking also converted, and most of his asylum calls are from Muslim countries also a bit odd if you think about it.

 

Did occur to me that I could have made a passable asylum claim if I went before the more lenient Courts.

 

And also that here we have Asylum being used which originally came about as a response to Jews fleeing Axis countries being used by someone who attached a Holocaust survivor.

 

Crazy crazy world.

 

Anyway seems he flew into LA, my guess is that they were coming to see the Mouse whatever, he seems to have enough money to have kept well fed.

If the media knew, or cared, jack-poop about visa types, someone would have sorted this out and explained things precisely by now.

[Neonred 3,884]

Yikes.  I'm headed to Boulder in a few months for a wedding.  

 

No place is safe.

it's hard work voting for biden.

I used to live near Boulder and spent a lot of time there, know people now who live there or in the area, actually someone I know is married to a Jewish lady.

 

Obviously not all the people are out there but the local politics certainly are, always amused me that I did a shooting course in Boulder.

 

The local paper is affectionally known as the Daily Comrade. Actually of you google that you get the Daily Camera. They do get wierdos there in the summer but too cold in the winter. 

 

I did not know about the parades, have not been in the Town for sometime. I can feel the brains exploding as they try and reconcile the illogicalities.
