Four men set up an ambush for police officers and began by launching a chlorine gas bomb. An officer suffered serious pulmonary damage and spent months going to doctors. The young men set off seven other incendiary devices. The four were sentenced today, The Denver Post reported. Two were given 60 days in jail and two years probation, one was given 30 days and probation while the other one was given a deferred judgment.

This was an ambush…of police officers…with dangerous bombs.

It happened on April 6, 2019.

THE STORY

The four young men blocked the road and then bombed the officers when they came to remove the road hazard.

As an officer cleared the road, he heard someone yelling obscenities at him. That’s when they threw a bottle with chlorine gas. The officer passed out and was later taken to the hospital by medics.

Then they detonated seven more incendiary devices after they knowingly and willfully injured an officer who was on the ground unconscious.

Arvada Police officers addressed the judge at the sentencing hearing, describing the impact this had on the officer, the entire department, and the community.

“These men set up an ambush for police. When the first Arvada officer arrived to clear away the road hazard, he was a fixed target for their toxic chemical bombs,” said DA Pete Weir, “These young men purchased the chemicals and plastic bottles at Walmart, mixed the bombs, and then set up their targets for ambush. The impact on the law enforcement community has been enormous.”

Well if that is all you get for attacking police officers; considered under the law as one of the most serious offenses, then I guess the courts will probably give you a reward for killing these four dirt bags… I’m not preaching violence, I’m just looking at the scale of things.

You missed an opportunity there, court.

Is this attack all that different in principle than the terrorist bombing in Boston?
