Those were the words plastered all over Twitter as many liberals blamed the recent mass shooting in Boulder, Colorado, on a “white man” despite the shooter being identified as something different. The shooter was identified to be originally from Syria.
Syria might ring a bell for many readers, as it is the nation from which the Biden Administration issued its first known use of military force. The airstrike was ordered on buildings in Syria where U.S intel concluded that Iranian-backed militias were housed. This military use of force was in retaliation for rocket attacks on U.S. targets in neighboring Iraq.
The operation left at least 22 people dead from the most recent report by the London-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.
But no media coverage has even pointed to that possibility. They “always” want to push the blame at “an angry white man.” Just like some of these liberals tweeted over the past few days.
“Extremely tired of people’s lives depending on whether a white man with an AR-15 is having a good day or not,” Deadspin senior editor Julie DiCaro tweeted on Monday.
USA Today race and inclusion editor Hemal Jhaveri responded to DiCaro: “It’s always an angry white man. Always.”
“Tamir Rice was a 12-year-old black child. Police shot him in 1.7 sec & let him suffer in agonizing pain for 4 min & die,” author and lawyer Qasim Rashid tweeted. “Colorado terrorist is a grown white man who killed 10 people including a cop. Cops arrested him alive & helped him to a stretcher for immediate medical care.”
Meena Harris, the niece of Vice President Kamala Harris, responded by immediately blaming a “violent white man.”

Harris deleted the tweet and explained that she assumed the shooter was white because he was taken into custody alive.
“I deleted a previous tweet about the suspect in the Boulder shooting,” Harris said. “I made an assumption based on his being taken into custody alive and the fact that the majority of mass shootings in the U.S. are carried out by white men.”
The Boulder shooting suspect who opened fire at a grocery store has been identified as Ahmad Al Aliwi Alissa, 21, of Arvada, Colorado. Reports have stated that he is originally from Syria.
The 10 victims’ names have been released and included 51-year-old Boulder police officer Eric Talley. Also killed in the shooting were Denny Stong, 20; Neven Stanisic, 23; Rikki Olds, 25; Tralona Bartkowiak, 49; Suzanne Fountain, 59; Teri Leiker, 51; Kevin Mahoney, 61; Lynn Murray, 62; and Jody Waters, 65.
