After last week talking about radicalization and how state-sponsored violence

almost inevitably produces radicalization, it immediately happened in Boulder, Colorado,

where a young Egyptian man, I'm going to call him young, he 45 years old. I don't know if that's young.

Egyptian National, who lived in Kuwait for almost 20 years, you know, before he came to the U.S. and in about three years ago, and according to the Department of Homeland Security,

that visa being expired. But he applied for asylum and was waiting for his trial. So he wasn't a

citizen. Kind of is what he is. He didn't have legal status. And according to him, he'd been planning

this thing. If you don't know what this

thing is, there is a group of mostly elderly people in Boulder, Colorado, who do these annual,

not annual, these monthly walks in solidarity with the hostage situation where the Israeli citizens were captured and held hostage by Hamas.

Now, normally this is a very peaceful event and these people did not ask for any security.

I suggest y'all take a second to go check out Molly Concord's show recently about the police's obligation to

actually protect us, meaning they don't have an obligation to. Matter of fact, they're disincentivized

to actually step into danger for us. Anyway, they did not request any sort of protection.
