Antisemitic attack leaves Jews struggling over vulnerability

These are places that have felt safe to us as Jews, as Coloradans, as people who love Boulder, and now we have to struggle with this sense of vulnerability, this sense that we've come under attack because who we are, and that's something that is both known as anyone who looks at the statistics, but also now that we've experienced it takes on a whole other dimension and the hard work that we all have to do is not to let fear, not to let intimidation, not to let hate win.

Use all the tools we can to hold bad actors accountable

We have to be focused on how we address rising crime and use all the tools we can to hold bad actors accountable. That's whether they're individuals, organized criminal enterprises, or companies that are breaking the law and cheating people. In my office, I've worked to do that--to hold any wrongdoer accountable. We focus on organized crime. We've gone after organized criminal enterprises that have done car-theft rings.
