As the nation mourns the deaths of 10 people at a Boulder, Colorado supermarket, the FBI is being mocked after reports emerged that the shooter was flagged as a threat to them. The motives of 21-year-old Ahmad al-Aliwi Alissa, a Middle Eastern beneficiary of the refugee resettlement program, are still not totally clear.
Some are claiming he was an Islamic extremist, but his social media history suggests he was more so fixated on media-induced paranoia about white racism and consumed by anger at Americans who support immigration restrictions. All of Alissas victims were white.
