A murder occurred in Los Angeles, California at one of the loathsome pro-Hamas demonstrations:
A Jewish man in California has died after getting into a confrontation during dueling protests over the Israel-Hamas war, authorities said.According to this article:
Paul Kessler, 69, died at a hospital on Monday, a day after he was struck during pro-Israel and pro-Palestinian demonstrations at an intersection in Thousand Oaks, a suburb northwest of Los Angeles, authorities said.
Witnesses said Kessler was involved in a "physical altercation" with one or more counter-protesters, fell backward, and struck his head on the ground, according to a statement from the Ventura County Sheriff's Department.
An autopsy Monday said Kessler died from a blunt force head injury and it was homicide, according to the Sheriff's Department, which said investigators hadn't ruled out the possibility that the act was a hate crime.
No arrests had been made and details of the confrontation weren't immediately released, although the Sheriff's Department scheduled a news conference for Tuesday morning.
Rabbi Noah Farkas, president of the Jewish Federation of Greater Los Angeles, said the group had heard reports that Kessler was struck in the head by a megaphone held by a pro-Palestinian demonstrator. However, he said federation officials weren't at the scene or involved in the demonstrations.
According to witnesses at the scene, a verbal altercation broke out between an older Jewish man and a pro-Palestinian protester. Suddenly, the protester struck the older man on the head with a megaphone he was holding.Well they better make sure to arrest the culprit. This is just one more example of how these pro-Hamas assaults have gotten way out of hand, and shouldn't even be allowed anywhere. Condolences to the victim's family.
The injured man fell to the ground bleeding and was rushed to the hospital where he was pronounced dead the next day. The cause of his death was confirmed to be a brain hemorrhage. Israelis who were present at the scene described it as "a terrifying sight" and expressed shock that such an incident took place in their neighborhood.
The incident was filmed on the victim's cellphone which has been seized by local police as evidence in their investigation into the incident. While the police have confirmed the case was being looked into, they haven't provided any further details at this time, including whether the suspect has been arrested.
