Colorado: DA wants records unsealed in case of Muslim who killed ten at supermarket, defense wants them sealed

There has been a great deal of argument over whether or not Al Issa (which is how he himself spells his name, not “Alissa” as the establishment media persists in calling him, apparently so as to obscure his Arabic and Islamic identity) was an Islamic jihadi, and one unappreciated bit of evidence in this regard is that when he was apprehended, Al Issa was wearing only shorts. Yet he hadn’t entered the supermarket in this state of undress. Why had he taken off his clothes after shooting people?

A clue may come from 9/11 hijacker Mohamed Atta, who packed a fancy suit in his luggage on that fateful day, in anticipation, according to a letter that was also in his luggage, of “marriage” to the “women of paradise,” whom he would encounter “dressed in their most beautiful clothing.” Islam envisions a physical paradise of eternal sex with heavenly virgins. While Atta envisioned some initial formalities necessitating the suit, Al Issa may have had a more direct approach in mind: he was likely anticipating being killed by police and showing up in paradise undressed and ready for action. Once it was clear, however, that he wasn’t going to be killed, he may have begun to feign mental illness in order to avoid prison and be confined to a much more lax mental hospital. After all, “The Prophet said, ‘War is deceit.’” (Bukhari 4.52.269)

This is not idle speculation, as it was clear from his social media accounts, which were scrubbed shortly after his attack, that Al Issa was a deeply religious Muslim who was intensely worried about “Islamophobia.” None of this, however, has been discussed at all in any open forum in connection with his case, likely because far-Left Colorado officials are as concerned about “Islamophobia” as was Al Issa himself.

“Request granted for warrants and records unsealed in case of 2021 King Soopers mass shooting suspect,” by Katie Parkins, ABC Denver 7, November 9, 2023:

BOULDER COUNTY, Colo. — The Boulder District Attorney’s Office request to unseal warrants and records in the case of the King Soopers mass shooting suspect has been granted, according to Colorado court documents.

“Due to the nature of the case, nearly all (if not all) of the Warrants and Requests have been provided to the Court and approved while under seal,” the district attorney’s office wrote in its motion to unseal the records.

But the People are asking the court to make the unsealed warrants inaccessible to the public until the jury trial in this case is over.

“There has been a large media interest in the case since its filing. The People are concerned that to the degree the Warrants and Requests are made available… the publication of this information could potentially taint the jury pool in this case,” the district attorney’s office argued in its court motion.

The prosecution made the motion on the basis of Colorado criminal law (Colo. R. Crim. P. 55.1(a)) that “the Court can ‘deny the public access to… any part of a court record only in compliance with this rule.”‘…

“The events underlying the charges in this case have traumatized the victims in this case and their families… The release of the Warrants and Requests could potentially retraumatize those impacted by this case well before a trial is held in this matter,” the district’s attorney office said in its motion to unseal….
