Terror Attack Boulder

[O2HeN2]

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

You're late to the party. See reply #37.

The conclusion is that the section is only applicable if it's arson against structures. For arson against people, normal self-defense laws apply.

That's ok....the DA there will probably let him out

I understand your presumption but it is not true. District Attorney Michael Dougherty will prosecute the case himself, just as he did the Boulder King Soopers shooter, Ahmad Al Aliwi Al-Issa. Dougherty's prosecution was stellar, convicting the shooter on all 55 felony counts. He has a track record of prosecuting people who do harm to others.

Note that Dougherty will be running CO Attorney General. I don't like his politics, especially his zealous adherence to DEI and open immigration leading to letting many criminal migrants go with a hand slap. But, he is otherwise a good prosecutor and the staff is geared up to prosecute the fire bomber, soon to be murderer.

The elderly victim passed, 2 murder charges added. Hope this dirtbag rots in hell and never sees his 72 virgins instead that he gets one big prison husband.

Just a matter of time before his image gets the Banksy treatment and he becomes a legend.

Too bad someone didn’t blow the SOB away when he started his little rampage, must be a gun free zone!

There are plenty of guns carried by citizens in Boulder, but that group tends to avoid the "socially conscious" events downtown.
