Colorado-skyderi: Ahmad Alissa, en 21-årig Trumphadende syrisk muslim, myrdede 10 i indkøbscenter

‘En 21-årig mand’ er sigtet for ti drab efter skyderi ved et supermarked i Colorado, skriver DR Online, der i en tidligere historie, pointerede at det endnu var ‘uvist, hvad gerningsmandens motiv’ var. ‘Biden vil forbyde en række semi- og fuldautomatiske våben efter ti skuddrab i Colorado’, lød det sent tirsdag aften, og det blev så narrativet.

Mens de danske medier spekulerer over hvordan fokus kan flyttes væk fra gerningsmanden, kan man læse detaljerne hos The Daily Beast.

“Ahmad Al Aliwi Alissa allegedly stalked through the Boulder supermarket on Monday afternoon with a rifle and a pistol, firing shot after shot, and stripping off his combat vest and clothing until surrendering to a SWAT team.

He was charged with one count of first-degree murder for each of the 10 people killed: Denny Stong, 20; Neven Stanisic, 23; Rikki Olds, 25; Tralona Bartkowika, 49; Suzanne Fountain, 59; Teri Leiker, 51; Kevin Mahoney, 61; Lynn Murray, 62; Jody Waters, 65; and Boulder Police Officer Eric Talley, 51. …

On a now-deleted Facebook page, Alissa described himself as ‘born in Syria 1999 came to the USA in 2002. I like wrestling and informational documentaries that’s me.’ … Alissa sometimes posted about Islam, often about prayer or holidays.

… In one Facebook post, the suspect appeared to express fears that someone was targeting his phone for Islamophobic reasons.

‘Yeah if these racist islamophobic people would stop hacking my phone and let me have a normal life I probably could,’ he posted in July 2019. …

On Facebook, his politics appeared mixed throughout several camps. He shared an article rebuking Donald Trump’s stance on immigration, but also posted about his own opposition to gay marriage and abortion.

A day after the 2019 Christchurch mosque shootings in New Zealand, Alissa had shared a Facebook post from another user that read, ‘The Muslims at the #christchurch mosque were not the victims of a single shooter. They were the victims of the entire Islamophobia industry that vilified them.’”
