Paleo supporter attacks an Iraqi War vet and gets shot in the stomach Newton, Massachusetts.


The Times of Israel has the details:
A man wearing a Palestinian pin is shot in the stomach after charging pro-Israel demonstrators in Newton, Massachusetts.

The assailant is seen across the street accusing a group of 10 protesters waving Israeli and American flags of “defending genocide” and giving them the middle finger, according to footage shared by The Daily Wire news site.

The man then charges across the street and tackles Scott Hayes, 47, an Iraq War veteran. Amid the tussle with protesters, the assailant is shot in the stomach by Hayes, the report says.

A second video shows Hayes giving medical treatment to the attacker, according to the report. The victim is suffering non-life-threatening injuries.

Though he legally had possession of the gun, Hayes is facing charges of assault and battery with a dangerous weapon and violation of a constitutional right causing injury, Middlesex County District Attorney Marian Ryan tells The Daily Wire.

#4 The shooter has already been charged and if the "victim" dies that charge will be upped to murder.

The shooter will have to prove self defense at trial. MA has an affirmative defense law, which puts the burden of proof to on the defendant.

#14 Ebbuger Whuque4103, the Jewish Telegraphic Agency reported this afternoon:

A GoFundMe fundraiser for Hayes’ defense identified him as a non-Jewish Iraq war veteran who was involved in Newton-area pro-Israel activities. It had raised more than $109,000 of a $180,000 target as of Friday afternoon. A statement on the fundraising page did not explicitly say Hayes shot the man, though it said he tried to help the shooting victim after the shot was fired.

#16 *blush* You are ever gallant, dear Walking Unvaxxed. I don’t always do a good job, but I do always try. I’ve learnt so much from y’all here — I’m happy to be able to pay a little of it back.
