MSNBC Security Analyst: ‘Pretty Obvious’ Boulder, Colorado Attack Is a ‘Terrorist Event, ‘We All Know About the War in Gaza’

EXCERPT:

CAVANAUGH: "You know, I heard the press briefing. The chief was trying to give us some, you know, information. They have a one man in custody, it was a, you know, an active, you know, demonstration for hostages in Gaza, so a pro-Israeli or for Israeli hostages, and that event was attacked, apparently, according to the chief, by a man trying to set protesters on fire. You know, we’re not clear whether they were using Molotov cocktails. That’s kind of a normal way to attack people with fire, by throwing incendiary devices on them and, you know, breaking and lighting fires, so that may have been what happened. It’s hard to, you know, throw fire, so Molotov cocktail is usually the device. Multiple injuries, as you reported, FBI making public statements that it’s a terrorist event, which, you know, probably is pretty obvious when you have, you know, this political side of the coin in this world event. We all know about the war in Gaza and the situation there. So, FBI is going to be heavy on that. Of course, we’re going to have ATF there as well. You’re going to have the state police and the Boulder Police, and they have the man — they have a man in custody so, you know, they’re going to make some progress here on the prosecution. They didn’t tell us about any other weapons just yet, so we’re gonna have to wait and see."
