MA Intifada Self-Defense Case – Right Of Israel Supporters To Defend Themselves On Trial

 William A. Jacobson (legalinsurrection.com) 

The case of Scott Hayes, the Boston veteran who shot an anti-Israel protester who viciously attacked him, has the makings of the single most important self-defense case we’re going to see this year, and probably this decade, or at least in the last decade.


"When the anti-Israel psychopaths march on campuses and in cities chanting “Globalize the Intifada” and “There is Only One Solution, Intifada Revolution,” we all know what that means.

"It means the sort of violence and intimidation we have seen in the United States since October 7, and which they are threatening to escalate. It means what just happened in Newton, MA, a suburb of Boston, where an anti-Israel lunatic viciously attacked a peaceful pro-Israel protester, Iraq war veteran Scott Hayes.

"Mike covered the initial incident, and Andrew Branca covered the legal self-defense issues and concerns.

"I think this is a case we’re going to stick with along with the dozen of more self-defense cases we’ve covered over the years." . . .

Joy Reid Insists ‘The Actual Violence’ Comes From ‘MAGA Themselves’ After Second Apparent Trump Assassination Attempt

 Bradley Cortright – IJR   "MSNBC’s Joy Reid insists the “actual violence” is not coming from the Left but from the Right.

Reid

"During a segment of her show on Monday, Reid said, “The irony of it is that the violence, the actual violence we’re seeing comes much more disproportionately from MAGA themselves, whether it’s January 6th, whether it’s them threatening election workers, whether it’s the bomb threats coming into schools in Springfield,”

“ 'The violence is coming from them, from their own supporters, yet they try to portray Haitian immigrants as the people to fear,” she added.

No Active Duty Military In War Zones? WTH?

 Religio-Political Talk (RPT)  "Outraged family members of US troops hurt in the line of duty slammed Kamala Harris’ brazen claim that no Americans are serving in war zones — a statement which flies in the face of her own administration’s official list of active combat zones."  (nypost.com)    All emphases are in the original.

  • “As of today there is not one member of the United States military who is in active duty in a combat zone, in any war zone around the world, for the first time this century.” – Kamala Harris

Hillary Clinton Demands ‘Criminal Penalties’ for Americans to Deter ‘Misinformation’

WATCH: Hillary Clinton Demands ‘Criminal Penalties’ for Americans to Deter ‘Misinformation’ – PJ Media

"It’s 2016 all over again!

"Eight years later, having learned nothing from the epic public humiliation she suffered when her fact-free Russiagate hoax collapsed into itself with the Mueller Report, Rachel Maddow is still asserting “election interference.” Hillary Clinton is eager to assist her in her Red Scare propaganda efforts.

"Ironically, Hillary is now demanding criminal prosecutions for her opponents’ alleged propaganda — and not just foreign state actors, but explicitly “Americans,” presumably private citizens who post loosely defined “misinformation” on social media.
"From the transcript, via Real Clear Politics (emphasis added):

Committee and the Foreign Affairs Committee and other Republicans who are currently in office have said that Republicans go to the floor of the Congress and they parrot Russian talking points

So, I think it's important to indict the Russians, just as Mueller indicted a lot of Russians who were engaged in direct election interference and boosting Trump back in 2016. But I also think there are Americans who are engaged in this kind of propaganda.

And whether they should be civilly or even in some cases criminally charged is something that would be a better deterrence, because the Russians are unlikely, except in a very few cases, to ever stand trial in the United States. They're not going to be going to a country where they can be extradited or even returning to the United States, unless they are very foolish.

So I think we need to uncover all of the connections and make it very clear that you could vote however you want, but we are not going to let adversaries, whether it is Russia, China, Iran, or anybody else, basically try to influence Americans as to how we should vote in picking our leaders.

Weren’t Democrats Once the Champions of Free Speech? - Brian C. Joondeph

  . . . Fortunately, Donald Trump now has a powerful ally, RFK, Jr., in his quest to Make Free Speech Great Again. Otherwise, everyone would be wide to read or reread 1984 to prepare for what’s ahead.

An ABC employee’s sworn affidavit claims ABC cheated to help Kamala win



Fmr FBI Agent to CNN: Verbiage About Trump Being a Dictator Led to Attempts on His Life (breitbart.com)    "Sunday, during CNN’s coverage of a second attempted assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump, former FBI counterterrorism agent Tim Clemente told host Erin Burnett that finger-pointing at Trump, including claims his “verbiage” about a “bloodbath” for the auto industry if his Democrat opponent wins misconstrued to bolster claims of violence if he didn’t win, was a likely motivation for the accused assassin." . . .

. . ."Keep in mind that Clinton is saying all that just a day after the second assassination attempt on Trump. She might as well be winking and nodding at the lunatics in her base to try again. After all, if Trump truly is a "danger to our country and the world," then that opens the door for all kinds of violence under the guise of "protecting democracy." A real news network would have pushed back and asked what lengths Clinton is suggesting people go to. Instead, she's allowed to spew her bile uninterrupted. 

JD Vance offered a rebuttal to Clinton's rantings, saying she's calling for both censorship and violence. 

   . . ."The State Department considered AP reporters Matt Lee and Bradley Klapper “friendlies,” and planned to “place” Hillary Clinton email stories with them and dictate the timing of their release. The goal was to blunt the June 2015 news that Clinton had failed to provide Congress certain required emails. 

Clinton campaign press officer Nick Merrill coordinated directly with the State Department on the plan to use AP to “lay this out before the [Republican] majority on the [Benghazi] committee has a chance to realize what they have and distort it.”  . . .

 Andrea Widburg: An ABC employee’s sworn affidavit claims ABC cheated to help Kamala win - Andrea Widburg  "The Black Insurrectionist did the legwork and obtained what appears to be a duly signed affidavit from an ABC employee attesting under oath to the network’s staggering corruption to ensure that Kamala Harris won her single debate against Donald Trump. Secret negotiations, bias, squashed issues, sample questions...it’s all there. Of course, we have only this unknown employee’s sworn assertion that these things happened but, if they did...oh my!

Blame Left's Incendiary Rhetoric for Trump Assassination Attempts ( Victor Davis Hanson) . . ."That is, are we sending unambiguous messages to would-be assassins that a) lots of Trump-hating people would welcome an assassination attempt and canonize the wannabe assailant; b) it would not be that difficult to pull an assassination off, given security laxity and incompetence; and thus c) we will likely witness a series of such unhinged attempts?

"On Aug. 14, almost exactly two months ago, I predicted the following:

If Donald Trump all summer has been compared by his enemies to Hitler and his murderous Third Reich, and if a 20-year-old would-be assassin and murderer with ease took up a sniper’s position to kill Trump—without a notified Secret Service or other law enforcement attempting to abort the shooter’s attempted assassination—what signal does that send to other would-be assassins for the next 80 days of the 2024 campaign?

Is the message that if a 20-year-old amateur sniper can brazenly and visibly for nearly an hour breach all Secret Service security perimeters to shoot eight times at the president, hit him in the ear, kill one innocent bystander, and wound two others, then almost any future, more-experienced serious shooter could match or exceed the ability of that disturbed amateur to get close enough to Trump to fire more than eight shots at his head?

And that shooting Trump in many leftist quarters would subsequently earn the unhinged killer eternal fame, applause, and immortality?

And that if there are such anticipated rewards and perceived opportunities, then we may well see more attempts on candidate Trump’s life?

"And here is just today’s example of the usual left-wing daily vitriol equating Trump with some sort of existential enemy that must be somehow stopped—expressed on both television and social media:" . . .

‘Known to the State of California,’ and other idiocy - Thomas J. Bruno   ..."Kamala Harris, when California attorney general, was the greatest defender of the worst excesses of Prop 65, which are brought primarily by environmental and consumer groups that benefit financially from settlements that businesses pay. In one such case, Harris stated, “My office will continue to enforce Proposition 65….” In 2018, a California judge ordered that coffee carry the same warning labels as the small box that my taps arrived in. Even the LA Times conceded that “there is little gain, and possibly some harm, in issuing cancer warnings that don’t convey relative risk.” Exactly my point." . . .
