Racist Pro-Israel Criminal Shoots pro-Palestine Jogger on Massachusetts Street

A pro-Israel demonstrator in Massachusetts has been charged for shooting a man sporting a Palestinian flag pin on a busy street in Newton, Massachusetts. The backer of genocidal Israel, a man by the name of Scott Hayes, 47, of Framingham, has been charged with assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, as well as violation of a constitutional right causing injury, after he shot the jogger in the stomach.

The incident was sparked while Hayes and a group of other pro-Israel supporters were protesting at the intersection of Washington Street and Harvard Street. There was a small group of individuals, pro-Israeli demonstrators who were demonstrating on one side of the street. There was an individual, apparently completely randomly walking down the other side of the street," a witness said. "Words were exchanged back and forth across the street."

The victim crossed the street and tackled the Israel supporter, now the defendant, during a heated dispute about the war in Gaza in which the man accused protesters of "defending genocide" and calling them "sick." During the tussle, defendant Hayes fired his gun into man's abdomen. After the shot rang out, two other pro-Israel fanatics could be seen stomping on the pro-Palestinian supporter, who has not been identified, and then dragging him off Hayes.

"You are sick, you are sick," the victim can be heard saying, according to video footage. "We are sick?" a woman can be heard clapping back at him and laughing. "Yes, you are defending genocide," the man shouts back. It was then that the victim of crossed the street and tackled Hayes.

There was a scuffle on the street, and at some point Hayes fired a shot into the victim's abdomen.

The criminal Hayes is expected to be arraigned Friday at Newton District Court. Newton Mayor Ruthanne Fuller said it was a "frightening incident" and called for patience as investigators look into what took place. "Let the Newton police do their work and get the facts straight," Fuller said. It is the really early stages of an active investigation.

Newton is a very wealthy Jewish suburb of Boston.
