Police respond to report of shooting at pro-Israeli protest in Newton

I'm very concerned about this particular geopolitical issue. But I'm also aware that it is a very emotional issue and, in my opinion, it isn't surprising that violence occured, even at a small rally. I'm not going to be there. My attending such a rally won't change anyone's mind and it exposes me to unnecessary risk.
You should yell at people, talk shit and when the guy comes over to cash the check shoot him. Or something.
 
I’m interested in the court outcome because it’s the only thing in doubt.

There is no moral question worth considering.

There’s also the question of the impact on the shooter, financially, socially, mentally, professionally, etc. Legal outcomes and morals aren’t the only factors a would-be self defense shooter needs to consider. Anyone who carries a gun needs to understand that. Was his life actually in danger? I mean, he could have an eggshell skull, or maybe this veteran was outmatched by ponytail, and ponytail was in fact going to follow through and try to murder the shooter, but to be honest those don’t seem likely. He may still win the court case(s), but that doesn’t mean shooting the guy was in his best interest.
 
Totally nailed it 👌

YUGE! This is why I want to know WHO exactly charged Hayes with A&B? Very quick to press charges instead of investigating (which would've taken into account the rendering of first aid). I really hope Hayes' lawyers are saddling up.
i don't know if this was covered as i scanned this thread, but the da involved is the same one that charged jaime caetano for use of a stun gun in self defense ...
 
It’s hard to tell in the video, but is the shooter unaware of what’s happening prior to ending up on the ground? Has anyone watched this encounter from a different source’s pov?

How much prior? He has to be aware of the prior yelling back and forth, but it isn't obvious to me that he was aware that ponytail was coming across the street, and even if so, that he wasn't going to stop and instead transition to the tackle. It looked to me his back was turned.
 
Because the guy wasn't on top and wasn't reaching for his head. At least not what I saw. What I saw is that they were mostly side by side on the ground. The vet wasn't mounted and the perp wasn't banging the vet's head against the sidewalk. The video wasn't great so maybe I'm just missing something.
Yes, the video wasn't great, but I think you're missing something. While he wasn't "mounted" the guy was on his side above the shooter, in an advantageous position. He also certainly went for his head on the takedown and later. Here you see him reaching for the head on the takedown, while appearing to come in from the side or back oblique angle:

Now you see them on the ground. I believe this is right before the discharge, and ponytail was on his side above the shooter and still reaching for the head:

I’m seeing the image coming into focus now. Being painted for all the moonbats to base their opinions. Bad Maga man shoots poor autistic boy!
 
With regards to this particular group of pro Israel protestors, who seem to travel around MA, I have not heard of anything happening at any of their activities over the past year.
True, but a, reasonable person would expect a counter demonstration given the current political climate.

If this was in Boston, there would probably be just the same amount(if not more) Palitards.

Being as this gathering was in the belly of the beast in Newton, the Israelitards probably weren't expecting any resistance.
 
And this shit right here is why we are in the position we are in folks

Give up your liberty to appease the left.

I have the God given right to peaceful protest, especially political protest.

If I'm attacked for that protest, no matter how heated the speech, I have not given anyone liberty to assault me.

And if they do, I retain my God given right to self defense.

And I will exercise my rights to the full extent of our constitutional limits.
Emotional response, but I'll play along for the sake of a discussion..

What has protesting done for your rights? And for reference, what was the last protest you attended and what did it accomplish?
 
Is that the "She shouldn't have worn a short skirt if she didn't want to get raped" line of reasoning ?
I carry a blade more than a gun .
I you jump me with a flying tackle from behind you're most likely going to end up gutted like a fish.
You can cry about it being a fair fight later if you make it.
Feel free to call me a pussy while your trying to hold in your intestines .
Reading comprehension isn't your strong suit I take it.
