A 69-year-old man was killed Sunday after he got into an altercation with a pro-Palestinian demonstrator in Thousand Oaks, California, police confirmed to the Daily Caller.
Paul Kessler “died as a result of injuries sustained during an altercation at a Pro-Israeli/Pro-Palestinian event, both of which were occurring simultaneously at the intersection of Westlake Blvd. and Thousand Oaks Blvd,” the Ventura County Sheriff’s office confirmed to the Daily Caller.
The department has not ruled out “the possibility of a hate crime.”
The tragic incident unfolded Sunday around 3:20 p.m., after “multiple citizens” called police “to report a battery has occurred.”
“Upon arrival, responding deputies located Kessler, who was suffering from a head injury,” police said. “Witness accounts indicated that Kessler was involved in a physical altercation with a counter-protestor(s). During the altercation, Kessler fell backwards and struck his head on the ground. Kessler was transported to an area hospital for advanced medical treatment.”
Kessler succumbed to his injuries on Monday, police said. His official cause of death is blunt force head injury and his death has been ruled a homicide.
Authorities are still investigating the incident and are set to hold a press briefing on Tuesday morning.

You don’t think that a Jewish guy from the Valley votes Republican, do ya?
What? Since when is a "hate crime" worse than a murder?
He might have changed his vote to republican after the attack, but now that he’s dead, he will vote demonrat forever.
The face of a murdering bigoted raghead produced by the FAKE Religion of Peace
thousand oaks is not in LA or the valley, its in Ventura county
All looks the same to me.
