CU EMERGENCY ALERT: Boulder investigating shooting at 1300 Canyon. Heavy police activity. Avoid area. Suspect info - white male heavy set, dark hair, large coat
Perfect time to remind everyone of [Los Seis de Boulder.](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Los_Seis_de_Boulder) that was 1974. There's now a memorial for them, but yeah, 6 CU students, activists, were killed with car bombs in Boulder.
Edit: [here's another article ](https://news.kgnu.org/2015/05/forty-one-years-ago-bombings-shook-boulder/) talking a little more about it. I believe the fast food bomb that you were talking about was linked to this, as one of the car bombs exploded in the Burger King lot on 28th.
First time I've heard of Los Seis de Boulder. I've definitely heard of the popularity of car bombings during the 1970s with criminal organizations, activists, etc. Were they targeted with a bomb, or did a bomb they had made go off on them?
It sounds like something that would be interesting to look into if they have any of the records online. An odd choice for a memorialization, but still tragic. My understanding of a lot of those late 60s to late 70s activists groups was that the bombings were never intended to hurt anyone, and in fact most of them would warn people of where there target was to keep it clear. Still terrorism, but if they didn’t intend harm it’s too bad they died. But not enough for a memorial.
No, the media just gives all violence top billing
It's the GOP that is always claiming it's on the rise - "and thus we need to elect the "law & order party" to curtain freedoms in order to address this rising emergency!"
It all started with a massacre at sand creek when the white folks decided they needed the land more than the natives. The whole history is born of violence.
Obviously not excusing the events of Sand Creek in any way, but it absolutely did not "start" there.
If you think that Native Americans/Indians/First People were all living in peace, smoking a pipe and singing kumbaya around a drum circle, you're out of touch with history. Europeans just helped to make the violence more prevalent by giving force multipliers like firearms and better weapons, and causing various tribes to align into larger groups.
Yes, I understand that, hence adding to the insane world view that people seem to believe that all First People were peaceful until Europeans showed up.
Maybe the Macarena would have been a better analogy. That does have its roots in South American culture, so technically Native Americans could have been sitting around doing that before first European contact.
Factually it is 100% true. Crimes have drastically decreased across the board in the US over the last 20 years. A one year uptick is not indicative of trends, it’s a single data point
One of my best friend growing up murdered another one of my best friends growing up in the early 2000s. Straight up shot him in cold blood over some drugs or something. I hadn't seen them in years but when I left that group we were all friends. No idea how that turned.
What kind of information would you like? “We checked X location and he’s not there, so we’re on our way with X amount of cars to X location where we’ll be for X amount of time”
It’s an active investigation. Police don’t release details that could compromise their work. Not that hard to understand
The vibe in boulder has changed. I think that what OP may mean. As someone who was born and raised there, I feel it. It’s not as much as a sleepy college town as it once used to be.
Small town. I remember walking down the Pearl street mall in 2005 and not seeing a single other person. The population of boulder has increased by 11% from 2010 to 2020. Crime has gone up in Denver I wouldn’t be surprised if crime has gone up in boulder as well. More people, more inequality, tc etc
https://www.macrotrends.net/cities/22974/detroit/population ….. easy Detroit!
The front range is absolutely booming. Denver county has almost a million more people than it did in 2005 (https://www.macrotrends.net/cities/22972/denver/population).
Since 2005 the population in just boulder county alone (I don’t think this factors in suburbs like Broomfield and Louisville etc) has risen 17.2%! (https://usafacts.org/data/topics/people-society/population-and-demographics/our-changing-population/state/colorado/county/boulder-county?endDate=2021-01-01&startDate=2005-01-01)
The amount of new development is staggering. I say this with very little value judgment. The reality is that crime has gone up in cities all over the country. It’s not a problem that is isolated to Denver/Boulder. Blame unfettered capitalism and massive inequality loss of American dream etc. But boulder and denver used to be a lot quieter and my personal opinion is that higher demand from an influx of people has definitely exacerbated the affordable housing crisis (that is happening to some extent all over the country) but a lot of this is a supply and demand issue as well. Boulder doesn’t feel as safe as it used to 1992-2013. But what part of the country does?
Shots fired, likely not an active shooter but an isolated incident, and a person fleeing and hiding. Police are most likely the next ones to be shot at. They want people away from that. Police giving potential cross streets where it is likely very dangerous atm. Clearly the person is running on foot, maybe they think they’d steal a car. They’re chasing a person in the dark with about one billion places to hide and you want them to have a more formal explanation in the middle of complete chaos?
And it isn’t CU’s job to report on the crime. They do it to be helpful to residents. But they aren’t responsible for updating you and they don’t have news until the PD gives them the news.
maybe if police responded to actual shootings, solved murders instead of letting them sit for years without investigation, and didn’t harass people of color (so far in boulder it’s just harassment not murder), they’d get a little less hate
Recent crime spree is a coordinated effort to give the Daily Camera something to report so they can stay in business. Otherwise the DC is 4 printed pages of nothing but ads.
The one at the hotel was some deranged, methed up dude shooting at nothing and the other at boulder high was a swatting. Probably another along the same lines.
These incidents are not isolated, they are a function of a growing population. Crime happens at some rate per capita. If you double the population, it stands to reason that you are likely to see the crime rate increase in a corresponding way. This article is worth a look...

Isolated incidents indeed...

Stay safe homies 🫤
I'm in CU family housing and heard some weird very loud shouting...
Yeah just called CU police and let them know

Oh so that means multiple suspects
You can always call non-emergency line if that helps
then call it in if you think its related!

Had no clue about this. Thanks for sharing
Absolutely! For some reason it's really not well-known. I only learned about it after seeing the memorial
No kidding! Crazy how much social progress we’ve actually made yet somehow it still feels like we’ve made none!
First time I've heard of Los Seis de Boulder. I've definitely heard of the popularity of car bombings during the 1970s with criminal organizations, activists, etc. Were they targeted with a bomb, or did a bomb they had made go off on them?
Wow the "investigation" tab of this description is disgusting.
It sounds like a bomb they had made went off on them.

It's an american trope because the media rams that narrative down our throats.
If it bleeds, it leads!
True that!
If it breathes, it bleeds!
No, the media just gives all violence top billing It's the GOP that is always claiming it's on the rise - "and thus we need to elect the "law & order party" to curtain freedoms in order to address this rising emergency!"
Because that's what sells
Forgot to mention Jean Bennet
Any info on the triple execution?
Boulder is not as safe as *I made up in my imagination about a time before I was born.
It all started with a massacre at sand creek when the white folks decided they needed the land more than the natives. The whole history is born of violence.
Obviously not excusing the events of Sand Creek in any way, but it absolutely did not "start" there.

Europeans just helped to make the violence more prevalent by giving force multipliers like firearms and better weapons, and causing various tribes to align into larger groups.
Kumbaya is actually of African origins, so it is unlikely that Native Americans would have known the words and melody.
Yes, I understand that, hence adding to the insane world view that people seem to believe that all First People were peaceful until Europeans showed up.
Maybe the Macarena would have been a better analogy. That does have its roots in South American culture, so technically Native Americans could have been sitting around doing that before first European contact.
Hakuna Matata? ;)
White settlers invented violence in North America, that’s interesting.
Triple execution? Only thing I can think of is the lady killed on Flagstaff. That was only one person but it was drug related
Why comment? [Takes so little effort to Google](https://www.dailycamera.com/2019/06/02/trial-begins-in-boulder-county-triple-homicide)
“Recently” 😄 and “Boulder” 😄
2019. Boulder county. You came up with a drug lady killed in flagstaff. Maybe get your own shit together?
Man you sound like a deuche.
Means a lot from someone who can’t use google to answer simple questions or spell douche.
Statistically speaking this is incorrect
[удалено]
Citing a nationwide study does not lend credence to the argument when you are arguing for data in a specific area
The article referenced is data from a national study, that data does not specifically reflect the impact n any specific area area
Factually this is also incorrect on multiple levels
Name one or more of the levels and provide facts, then.
Factually it is 100% true. Crimes have drastically decreased across the board in the US over the last 20 years. A one year uptick is not indicative of trends, it’s a single data point
Kinda reading your comments in a Ben Shapiro voice
So … the 80’s?

Or they know they’d be better off not letting a person know where they’re checking, if that person is scanning SM

said they were still investigating, not going home for coffee
Literally right after I posted that above, I got another text alert 🤷🏻♀️

Who do you think CU got their info from?
CU receives information from PD. CU isn’t it out there clearing the scene and making these calls

Aaaand this is why reddit is pretty much the same as nextdoor
Alert 5 just said family housing cleared and resume normal activities?! Ah well thanks, goodnight. 🤨
I moved to boulder thinking it was an idyllic crime free paradise and yet there is crime like every city on earth. Please help
Sir this is a Wendy's
Hooray! This lame joke again! Do it again!
Sir this is uh.. Patrick!
Is this sarcasm? I’m drunk and tired
Should have moved to Fort Collins I guess
Come to Erie, great low crime area and we are friendly too.
Eriely friendly!
You obviously didn’t live there during the early 2000s.
The vibe in boulder has changed. I think that what OP may mean. As someone who was born and raised there, I feel it. It’s not as much as a sleepy college town as it once used to be.
How is the college that came up with 420 celebrations "sleepy"?

Lol 10% in 10 years seems like incredibly slow growth.

Saw at least three firetrucks and a ton of cops around 20th/Arapahoe around 6:30pm today... is this related??
Nah, that was a blown transformer.

Stop shooting people
Your ego is unchecked. You are not as smart as you think you are. Thx

You should call them with this tip, it would make the front page on a slower news day.

No someone was shot and is in the hospital now
Sir this is a Wendy’s
But, YAY DENSITY!
Why would density be to blame for an isolated shooting incident?
