A man wearing a Palestinian pin was shot in the stomach after charging at pro-Israel demonstrators in Newton on Wednesday. The incident occurred during a small protest where about 10 individuals waved Israeli and American flags.
According to footage shared by The Daily Wire, the assailant stood across the street, accusing the group of “defending genocide” and giving them the middle finger. He then charged across the street and tackled Scott Hayes, a 47-year-old Iraq War veteran, leading to a physical altercation.
During the scuffle, Hayes, who was legally carrying a firearm, shot the man in the stomach. Following the incident, a second video shows Hayes providing medical treatment to the attacker, who is reportedly suffering from non-life-threatening injuries.
Despite his legal possession of the gun, Hayes is facing charges of assault and battery with a dangerous weapon and violation of a constitutional right causing injury, Middlesex County District Attorney Marian Ryan told The Daily Wire.

Or perhaps it’s self defense
Seems like a non-Jew standing up for Israel is in trouble for defending himself. We should give him whatever support we can.
This country has gone completely bonkers! The man gets attacked and HE is the one charged!
And what constitutional right did he violate?! If anything, he’s the one who had HIS constitutional right, freedom of speech, violated.
Trivia question: does anyone what the halacha is in this situation?
Let’s be honest about what is happening in this case and many others.
The woke Democrat tyrants who control many US cities seek to crush the civil rights (including a right to self defense) of white heterosexual males.
The Jewish community should give full support to Scott Hayes and thank him for his efforts on behalf of Israel.
The halacha clearly and unequivocally states: “if someone comes to kill you, be placid ,
non confrontational,and allow yourself to be killed”.
Honest Spirit. The halacha is “if someone comes to kill you, you are allowed to kill him first.”
