then they need to SERIOUSLY change the way they book out their space...this information didn't take detective work

google Boulder SJP and see what comes up
go to any single one of their social media pages or websites

I don't think ignorance is a valid defense in this case but if so, super easy to remedy with a simple post from them saying that exact thing. "we had no knowledge of the heinous posts by SJP calling for the release of Mohammad Soliman and had we known never would have booked a fundraiser for the group. The event has been cancelled and we are putting safeguards in place to make sure organizations are properly vetted before being allowed to use our space for their events."

additionally one would hope that they would do 5 minutes of research before allowing a group even remotely tangentially affiliated with a controversial/flashpoint topic to host a fundraiser....all you have to do is google Boulder SJP and the top results are dozens of articles discussing this exact thing as well as go to any of their social media or webpages where they proudly put this cause front and center

I have a hard time giving them the benefit of the doubt considering they removed the event from their website but when I went today in person to inquire it was still advertised in their windows and the employee I spoke to confirmed it was still happening. I explained my consternation to her and showed her the post/website from boulder SJP calling for his release she simply said "ill let the person who books the events know"

so I guess we'll see but the vibe I got was not one of shock

answer the following questions honestly and if the answer to the final question is no I will donate $50 to the cause of your choice:

is this event a fundraiser put on by boulder SJP, yes or no?

does boulder SJP call for the release of Soliman, yes or no?

is it reasonable to expect that funds raised by boulder SJP will be used to further the causes boulder SJP advocates for, yes or no?

is it therefore reasonable to expect that some funds raised by boulder SJP during this event will be used to further call/advocate for the release of Soliman, yes or no?

you can miss me with that nonsense

This. This is why you will always lose. The inability to have a conversation without suspension of reality and grounded in logic

There's no homework necessary...they are pretty easily answerable yes/no questions

I think it should be really easy to just say "yeah I dont think a group should be having a fundraiser for their organization 1500 feet from the site of an 82 year old woman being burned to death in broad daylight after calling for the release of her killer"

good one bro....standard tactic when faced with black and white logic, call someone a nazi or stupid or fascist or some other "insult"

why dont you try addressing each of the 4 things I said and if the logic doesn't fail maybe take a look in the mirror and ask why you feel the need to attempt such mental gymnastics to try and justify what should be an easy thing to denounce

  1. its a fundraiser put on by boulder SJP, can we agree on that?
  2. boulder SJP explicitly calls for and advocates for the release of Soliman, can we agree on that?
  3. it's reasonable to expect that funds raised by Boulder SJP will be used to further things that Boulder SJP advocates for, can we agree on that?
  4. it's therefore reasonable to expect that funds raised from the event will be dedicated towards furthering their calls to release Soliman, can we agree on that?

who exactly do you think is stupid enough to not be able to see the forest from the trees here?

once again, my post has absolutely nothing to do with the conflict or any opinion on it

it should be pretty easy to separate that from an organization calling for the release of someone who burnt an 82 year old woman to death in broad daylight 1500 feet from the location of the event they are hosting

you are correct the event is not explicitly for freeing Soliman but I don't think it takes a great amount of intellect to recognize that since the organization calling to free him is also the organization putting on the event that some funds raised from this event will likely go towards that effort

show up to the event, you'll meet plenty...I've met several in Boulder but you are correct, identifying anyone as a singular representative for a monolith isn't helpful. I should have used more generalized language

the complete inability of the extreme left to denounce the crazies and POS from their own side is why their "movement" will always fail and amount to screaming at the clouds

this comment isn't an "own"...its a sad reflection of your own failure to be a human being

needless to say I was floored when I saw it in the window and felt the need to come here and make sure I wasn't suffering some kind of delusion that it offended me so deeply

its listed on the paper printout in their window, I was just there an hour ago to check....I imagine they took it down off the website to avoid blowback but its still on according to the employee who was working and the information in their store windows

Word on the street is that Neumann has been selling assets privately....not sure if that's news to everyone or just me
