Terror Attack Boulder

[def90]

No. I am not in Boulder county.

But isn?t ironic that BCSO has to train with their weapons in Weld County? Even training police ti use their guns to occur outside of Boulder county..

Boulder Sheriffs Office uses the Boulder Rifle Club ranges as well as the indoor facility that was built in Longmont some years back. One of the sheriff's office deputies used to be a gunsmith in the basement at Gunsport and was an FAL builder and enthusiast.

Have no idea where the Boulder Police dept trains.

The law enforcement indoor faculty that was built in Longmont is an public range btw and have shot there a number of times.

Here in Pueblo, police DGAF. They will stop a suspect the safest & most convenient way possible. And this is fairly local for for me. They should have tased the Boulder guy and watch him burn...

He spent a year planning that?

I'm guessing the outcome did not match his aspirations.

Looking at the various tapes, there is one that shows a pretty good sized older gentleman attempting to get to the heat miser, but being held back by some little hippie douche bag. So it appears there was at least one person willing to take action, but, Boulder prevailed.

I'm wondering what the big guy in the grey t-shirt was screaming about in the video at the Mall. Sounded like 'don't antagonize him' while the perp was waving the spray bottles around, (I'm a little puzzled about how his homemade flamethrower even worked).

From the video I saw, the guy was using a backpack worn pesticide sprayer. And it caught on fire while he was wearing it. I don't think the seals in a sprayer like that are fuel/solvent resistant.

Yes, which is why he ended up shirtless.
One of the videos shows him catching fire.

Good thing he spent a years planning this. Can you imagine how haphazard it would have been if he only a week or so to pull it together?

I believe what we're seeing where he sets himself on fire is gasoline leaking/spraying out the neck of the Molotov bottle when he throws it.

That's what I think I see when I watch the video.

So he probably just put a strip of cloth in the neck, and when he threw it, he threw the bottle base first and the gasoline sprayed out of the neck and ignited.

That's what it looked like to me too.

Let's just say I think we were lucky he was an incompetent bad guy. Had he known how to put together a better Molotov cocktail, many more people could have been hurt and likely would have had immediate deaths.

FTR colorado has an affirmative defense (e.g. lawful use of deadly physical force) for imminent belief in felony arson.
