DA Who Charged a Veteran for Defending Himself Against a Pro-Hamas Supporter Is a Nightmare
Bonchie at RedState had it first for us, based on reporting from Kassy Akiva of the Daily Wire. It’s likely to lead to a messy legal fight, as a pro-Hamas supporter was shot by an Iraq War veteran who was triggered by a gathering of Israeli supporters in Newton, Massachusetts. The man is caught on video charging the group and tackling the veteran, Scott Hayes, who shot the individual in self-defense. He later rendered medical aid until first responders arrived on the scene.

As RedState reported on Thursday evening, an Iraq war veteran named Scott Hayes was violently attacked by a Hamas supporter during a pro-Israel protest. The attacker was captured on video starting a verbal altercation by yelling across a street about “genocide” while making a false claim that 200,000 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza. He then charged through traffic and violently tackled the veteran.
A scuffle ensued with the Hamas supporter attempting to punch the victim in the head. At that point, the veteran discharged a single shot from a pistol he was concealed carrying. The Hamas supporter was reported to be in stable condition, the incident appeared to be a clear-cut case of self-defense.
I can now release his name since the DA put it out there.

As Bonchie adds, Ryan admits the pro-Palestinian wannabe tough guy was the attacker, but they charge Hayes anyway? There’s no way this investigation is done, but that’s Massachusetts for you.
It's only unclear if you're a blind "journalist" with an ax to grind. There's video showing the Hamas supporter ran across the street and tackled the veteran.
And yes, Hayes was carrying legally. A hate crime? Just laughable. https://t.co/ZYISzeHUcJ
