Veteran Charged After Shooting Anti-Israel Man Who Tackled Him During Protest
Daily Wire ^ | 09/13/2024 | Kassy Akiva

Posted on 09/13/2024 11:11:54 AM PDT by DFG

Scott Hayes, 47, was charged on Thursday after he shot a man wearing a pro-Palestinian pin who charged and tackled him during a protest in Newton, Mass.

The charges, announced Thursday night by Middlesex County District Attorney Marian Ryan, include assault and battery with a dangerous weapon and violation of a constitutional right causing injury. Hayes will be arraigned in Newton District Court on Friday.

In a video obtained by The Daily Wire, a man wearing the pin and a surgical mask around his neck stood on the opposite side of the street, yelling at a group of 10 protesters. He called them “sick” and accused them of “supporting genocide.”

The man then runs across the street through traffic and tackles Hayes, who was preparing to leave before the attack. Moments later, while the attacker was on top of Hayes on the ground, Hayes shot the man in the stomach. In another video, Hayes is seen placing the gun behind him on the pavement after the shot.

This seems self-defense and justified.

“ This seems self-defense and justified.”

Yes.

This prosecution is lawfare.

You’re not allowed to defend yourself from being attacked in Taxachusetts?

Scott Hayes didn’t realize that DA Marian Ryan was part of the pro-Palestinian mob...

Interesting, the attacker’s name isn’t mentioned, and I presume no charges for running across a street through traffic, tackling, and getting on top of Scott Hayes. The crime at the center of the incident. Hope Hayes has a good attorney.

Reminder to all Freepers...

Are you a Political Activist?

Conservatives go to jail and get sued.

Socialists get bailed out, get pro bono defense lawyers, get Socialist judges, Socialist prosecutors, and Socialist juries.

She's a flaming Lefty POS:

Criticism of Marian Ryan's office by the United States Supreme Court

In March 2016 in Caetano v. Massachusetts, the United States Supreme Court reversed the conviction of a woman who had protected herself against her abusive and violent ex-boyfriend with a stun-gun.

In a concurring opinion, Justice Samuel Alito, a former federal prosecutor, criticized the decision by Ryan's office to prosecute the woman, writing: "A State's most basic responsibility is to keep its people safe. The Commonwealth of Massachusetts was either unable or unwilling to do what was necessary to protect [the defendant], so she was forced to protect herself. To make matters worse, the Commonwealth chose to deploy its prosecutorial resources to prosecute and convict her".

Supporting genocide?

Defamation. Assault. Counter-sue.

If this goes to trial and isn’t dismissed, there should be riots at the courthouse. Seriously. It’s all caught on film as is self-defense without a doubt.

If this goes to trial and isn’t dismissed, the justice system is no longer of consequence. It becomes duty to rebel against this type of partisan tyranny.

At least imperfect self-defense. Who knows what that nut had planned? He could have had a concealed weapon himself. What am I gonna do? Wait til he stabs me in the eye or heart, sprays me with acid, or shoots me in the head with a small gun? No way! You come at me like that I gotta assume you’re mental and I have a right to protect myself by any means necessary to eliminate the threat.

NOT guilty! Too bad he’s in Massholeia and the jury there will prob convict him (for supporting Israel actually).

But you’re not allowed to defend yourself when attacked in NY.

The attacker skates, and the victim is prosecuted and persecuted.

But you’re not allowed to defend yourself when attacked in MA either. ( Just noticed the state)

The attacker skates, and the victim is prosecuted and persecuted.
