Boulder police were reluctant to ascribe a motive to 21-year-old Syrian-born Ahmad Al Aliwi Alissa, barely identifying his background in what amounts to the politically correct madness that swept into Washington with 78-year-old President Joe Biden taking office. Focused now on how long he owned the Ruger, AR-556, military-grade assault rifle, and accounting for the 10 deaths at King Scoopers supermarket in Boulder, Co., the media completely misses what’s shaping up to be another self-radicalized, jihadist attack. “We will hold the evildoer responsible to the full extent of the law for his actions,” said Democrat Gov. Jared Polis. “And we will always remember the victims of the King Scoopers shooting,” mentioning nothing about the gunman radical thoughts posted on Facebook for all to see, expressing disgust over the March 15, 2019 massacre at the Al Noor mosque in Christchurch, New Zealand.
Details emerging from Al Aliwi’s Facebook post gives the hidden X-Ray into the sick mind of a mass shooter, who’s motives were etched by real events, including the March 15, 2019 horrific Al Noor mosque massacre that killed 51 and inured 40. Al Aliwi wasn’t shy about saying on Facebook he was “born in Syria in 1999 came to the U.S. A in 2002,” reported Daily Beast. Based on his Facebook post, Al Aliwi shared postings about Islam, prayers, religious holidays and his feelings the day after the Al-Noor mosque massacre in Christchurch. “The Muslims at the #christchurch mosque were not the victims of a single shooter,” Al Aliwi said. “They were the victims of the entire Islamophobia industry that vilified them,” exposing, behind any psychosis, the real revenge motive clearly expressed in Facebook. Al Aliwi’s Facebook post came right out of Al-Qaeda’s late Yemen chief Anwar al-Awlaki.
Al-Awlaki’s rantings inspired former Army psychiatrist Nidal Hasan’s Nov. 5, 2009 shooting massacre in Fort Hood, Texas, gunning down 13 U.S. soldiers due for deployment. While there’s no mention of radical preachers like al-Awlaki, Al Aliwi’s statements mirror the motives behind the Fort Hood slaughter, that Al Aliwil avengied the “Islamaphobia” explaining the motive behind the Christchurch massacre. Whatever mental illiness federal officials find with Al Aliwi, that doesn’t for one second diminish his motive of avenging the “Islamophobiia,” a key talking point of Osama bin Laden, Anwar al-Awlaki and every other radical Muslim cleric talking about U.S. occupation of sacred Islamic lands. For whatever reason, the FBI isn’t ready to admit Al Aliwi’s motive for massacring innocent civilians, including killing 51-year-old Boulder police officer, father-of-seven Eric Talley.
Past police records indicated that Al Aliwi was charged with assault in 2018 for punching a high school classmate in the face. Court records show that Al Aliwi said his classmate “had made fun of him and called him racial names weeks earlier.” Al Aliwi’s older brother, Ali Aliwi Alissa, 34, said his brother was mentally ill. “When he was having lunch with my sister in a restaurant, he said, ‘People are in the parking log, the are look for me,’” Ali told the Daily Beast. Ali called his brother Ahmad “very anti-social,” saying his brother told him a gunman chased him in high school. “[It was] not at all a political statement, it’s mental illness,” said Ali. “The guy used to get bullied a lot in high school, he was like an outgoing kind but after he went to high school and got bullied a lot, the started becoming anti-social,” giving the Psychology 101 explanation for Ahmad’s mass murder.
Listening to family members often throws off law enforcement’s attempts to find a real motive for the massacre. When Al Aliwi’s Facebook page talks about “Islamophobia” and the Christchurch massacre, there was more on his mind than avenging a few years of bullying in high school. Most victims of high school or military bullying don’t commit mass murder or other violent crimes. There may be lasting scars from the bullying but, Al Aliwi’s brother has his own opinion why his brother went ballistic. “[It was] not at all a political statement, it’s mental illness,” is pure speculation, not consistent with what’s known about the vast majority of jihadists around the world, that take up arms and massacre innocent civilians in the name of Allah. FBI profilers need to look carefully at Al-Aliwi’s Facebooks posts about the massacre at the 2019 Al Noor mosque in Christchurch, New Zealand.
Mass killings in the U.S. raise gun control issues, especially when terrorists or raving psychotics have little problems buying assault rifles or other automatic weapons. “This cannot be our new normal,” said Rep. Joe Neguse, who represents Colorado’s second district, one of nine impeachment managers that prosecuted former President Donald Trump. “We should be able to feel safe in our grocery stores. We should be able to feel safe in our school, in our move theaters and outer communities. We need to see a change,” Naguse, said, calling for urgent gun control legislation. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) said he would revive two House-passed gun control bills calling for enhanced background checks. Schumer and Naguse know that most registered gun owners do not commit mass murder or gun violence. Dealing with ballistic killers like Al Aliwi is never easy.
