“We can either live in a paranoid politically correct world frantically trying not to offend the Hitlers and Mohammeds, and blaming their victims when they kill, or we can be free men and women who have chosen to take the power to defend our rights into our own hands.

While a thousand organizations use the Holocaust as a platform for speeches about tolerance, Children Of Jewish Holocaust Survivors [Jews Can Shoot] is conducting firearms training… Freedom is not defended with empty idealism easily perverted into appeasement of evil, but with the force of arms.”

All too many of the other great tragedies of history - Stalin's atrocities, the killing fields of Cambodia, the Holocaust, to name but a few - were perpetrated by armed troops against unarmed populations. Many could well have been avoided mitigated, had the perpetrators known their intended victims were equipped with a rifle and twenty bullets apiece... If a few hundred Jewish fighter in the Warsaw Ghetto could hold off the Wehrmacht for almost a month with only a handful weapons, six million Jews armed with rifles could not so easily have been herded into cattle cars.

Pro-Israel Demonstrator Charged After Shooting Man Who Attacked Him

by Doris Wise Montrose on September 15, 2024

The author concludes and with which I agree: Unless there’s some compelling evidence to the contrary that the D.A. is unaware of or isn’t sharing with the public, it sounds to me like the only person who should be facing charges is recovering in a hospital.

Even the District Attorney in Newton County, Massachusetts says Scott Hayes was attacked and tackled to the ground before he pulled a gun and shot his assailant. So why is Hayes in court today facing charges of assault and battery with a dangerous weapon and violation of a constitutional right causing injury?

Here’s how Newton County District Attorney Marian Ryan describes what led up to the shooting on Thursday night:

Speaking at Newton Police Headquarters, Ryan said a group of pro-Israel protesters had gathered in the area when they became involved in a confrontation with a man on the other side of the street.

Ryan said the man on the other side of the street stepped into the road multiple times. After both sides continued to exchange words, Ryan said the man “came very rapidly across the street” and tackled Hayes, who was part of the pro-Israel group. A scuffle ensued and Ryan said Hayes shot the man.

Ryan said Hayes legally possessed the gun he used in this incident.
