Boulder Hate Crime Attack: Mohamed Sabry Soliman Faces Charges and Deportation Concerns
A man is facing a hate crime charge after throwing Molotov cocktails at a group of demonstrators in Boulder. Mohamed Sabry Soliman, a 45-year-old Egyptian national living in the U.S. illegally, planned the attack for a year. He intended to harm all participants at the event but only threw two cocktails while shouting "Free Palestine." Soliman's public defenders have not commented on the case.
Soliman was also charged in state court with attempted murder, assault, and carrying 18 Molotov cocktails. He told investigators he couldn't buy a gun because he wasn't a legal citizen. Despite his intentions, he didn't follow through with the full attack due to fear and lack of prior violence.
The attack resulted in 15 people and a dog being considered victims, with some facing physical injuries. Soliman's wife and five children, aged 4 to 17, are facing deportation, but a judge halted the proceedings temporarily. The family is currently held in a Texas immigration detention center.
In conclusion, Mohamed Sabry Soliman's planned attack on demonstrators in Boulder has led to multiple charges and legal proceedings, including a hate crime charge and deportation concerns for his family. The incident caused injuries to individuals and a dog, prompting legal action against Soliman.
