Alnaji, one of the leaders of a pro-Hamas contingent protesting against Israel in Thousand Oaks, California, on November 5, 2023, crossed two major thoroughfares to confront Kessler, who'd had the audacity to stand on a corner opposite Alnaji's group and wave an Israeli flag. As words were exchanged, Kessler took out his phone to video Alnaji, at which time Alnaji "decked" Kessler, according to an eyewitness.
Ron Bamieh, Alnaji's attorney, claims his client acted in self-defense and is “not a violent man. He was at a rally exercising his right to protest, a tragic chain of events followed.” He says, “Mr. Kessler approached the crowd and yelled at demonstrators to ‘stop beheading babies.’ When he turned toward Mr. Alnaji — phone pointed at him — Mr. Alnaji swiped at the phone with his hand, which was holding a megaphone. He inadvertently struck Kessler on the side of the head. Kessler then fell, striking his head on the pavement.”
In early May, as we reported, Alnaji entered an open guilty plea to one count of involuntary manslaughter and felony count of battery causing serious bodily injury, with a serious felony enhancement and aggravating factors of weapons use and vulnerable victim for both counts. According to Bamieh, Ventura County Superior Court Judge Derek Malan indicated that he would sentence Alnaji to one year in prison followed by three years probation.

Spelling error. ...religion of piece.
Nazis at work again. And about to get yet another sweetheart sentence from the court. Jews have no where left to go.
The killer gets a year in prison. Is that the value of a human life these days?
If they can kill innocent infants because they’re inconvenient, they will kill “inconvenient” adults when it suits them, too.
SHOCKING: Wisconsin trans Democratic staffer Teha Delaruelle is openly calling on leftists to “Kill Your Local Republican.”
