(Caleb Gannon, running across the street to allegedly assault Scott Hayes.)
There’s been a fairly consistent two-tier justice system approach nationwide to pro-Israel and pro-Hamas activism. While it popped up most obviously at UCLA where multiple terror supporters attacked Jewish students and community members, and only when the Jews fought back, was there suddenly action, and at the Adas Torah synagogue attack, where the only arrest made was of a Jewish community members, it’s been fairly consistent nationwide. The only person arrested for ‘rhetoric’ was a pro-Israel man in New York despite numerous incidents of threats and abuse by terrorist supporters. Local law enforcement initially tried to bury the killing of a Jewish man at a pro-Israel rally in California. But this incident out of Massachusetts is worse.
Scott Hayes is an Iraq War veteran and ally to the Jewish community, showing up to rallies with an American flag. He was viciously assaulted and, much like Israel, is being blamed for defending himself. Please share and support Scott with the GoFundMe below. THANK YOU SCOTT! pic.twitter.com/q1m4VZzrnW

There is clear video of a terrorist supporter, Caleb Gannon, wearing a terrorist flag pin, running across the street and assaulting Scott Hayes, an Iraq War vet, at a pro-Israel rally.

Gannon had allegedly tweeted before, “I don’t condemn Hamas” and “the United States government is a rogue terrorist organization” and “all police precincts, military bases and government offices must be liquidated”.
He retweeted a threatening message stating, “Zionists should feel unsafe everywhere.”
Hayes fought back against the assault and Gannon was shot in the process. Hayes, who was also seriously injured, still provided first aid to the wounded terrorist supporter.
Gannon was not charged with anything for his assault which was caught on video. Hayes however was charged with assault and battery with a dangerous weapon and violation of a constitutional right causing injury.
Hayes was the one who was assaulted but Middlesex County DA Marian Ryan chose to pretend that a terrorist supporter assaulting a man is a “constitutional right”, but fighting back isn’t.
And Hayes had been assaulted for attending pro-Israel rallies before this.
This is yet another outrageous case of pro-crime DAs criminalizing self-defense. It’s also a case of pro-Israel protests being given the two-tier treatment. The fact that Gannon wasn’t charged with anything says it all.
Supporters of Hayes have set up a GoFundMe to raise money for his medical care and legal defense. (I have to warn you though that GFM has a history of shutting down fundraisers for non-leftist causes.)
