Terror in Boulder: Six injuries when attacking peace assembly!

In the afternoon of June 2, 2025, Colorado, Colorado, occurred in Boulder, a tragic incident in which six people were injured. According to Mercury it is a "targeted act of violence", in which the perpetrator started a makeshift flame thrower And threw a fire set into a crowd. The attack occurred during a weekly peaceful event of the Jewish community.

The victims of the attack are between 67 and 88 years old. During the attack, the perpetrator called "Free Palestine", which influenced the investigation of the FBI. FBI boss Kash Patel classified the incident as a "targeted terrorist attack". The US secret service coordinator Tulsi Gabbard also described the attack as a direct attack on the Jewish community.

Investigations and motifs

Although the perpetrator was later arrested, police chief Steve Redfearn warned against drawing premature conclusions about the motif. The security authorities are now examining the circumstances of the incident in detail. The recognized connection between the terrorist act and the current political debates on Palestine gives this incident additional explosiveness.

This event has again worked out the public discussion about freedom of expression and the rights of the students at US universities. Two students from the University of Colorado Boulder, Max Inman and Mari Rosenfeld, complain against the university for a supposed violation of their rights for freedom of expression. This was done in connection with a peaceful protest against a job fair organized by military contractors.

Legal dispute over freedom of expression

The lawsuit that is directed against the university system and several civil servants claims that the students were proven with a preliminary campus exclusion because of their critical statements about the situation in Gaza, in particular to benefit from the conflict. According to the information from CPR , the plaintiffs have not caused an essential disorder to be heard.

• The lawsuit comprises five claims for free expression and legal hearing.
• Inman emphasizes that the USA supports genocide and that the students' voices should not be silenced.
• Rosenfeld, a Jewish student, emphasizes that diversity of perspectives at universities is important.

This legal dispute is in the context of a broader debate about identity policy and freedom of expression at US universities. Critics argue that freedom of expression is increasingly being undermined by "Cancel Culture" and a supposed "opinion dictatorship" of politically correct. At many universities, the fear of expressing their own opinion is real.

according to The pragmaticus have increased anti-Israeli and anti-Semitic statements since the Hamas massacre in October 2023, which led to tensions on campus. The reactions of the university management on these topics are also increasingly criticized.

The current developments in both boulders and at the universities illustrate the complexity of the debate about freedom of expression, identity policy and the social tensions about the Middle East conflict. The incident in Colorado and the legal dispute at the University of Colorado Boulder are worrying signs for how profound social divisions go.
