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 is a part of a communist practice that has developed over the last few years, the first public victim of which was George Zimmerman. Now, especially since the Summer of Love, any time a law-abiding citizen who is attacked by a privileged person resists with legitimate, legal force, regardless of whether the force is with a firearm or simply by hand, that perfectly legitimate person who acted legitimately is always persecuted in Hel Hole regimes like NYC. The practice is so common that it’s impossible to doubt that the whole idea comes from the Biden Harris administration, which is trying to obliterate the right of self-defense by persecuting any person who does so legally and effectively. Once more, a good reason to get rid of Harris and restore our legitimate President, Donald John Trump.
Correction: Hell Hole regimes like NYC and Mass.
I would not convict.
violation of a constitutional right causing injury.
IIRC, in another article, it reports the assailant dropped a knife during the scuffle.
Pali jock-sniffers beware.
FL has a “stand your ground” statute.
Concealed carry without a permit too.
I love my state.
