Update: The Ventura County Medical Examiner has ruled the Death of 65 y/o Paul Kessler was a Homicide caused by Blunt Forced Trauma to the Head, with the Ventura County Sheriffs Office now announcing that they have begun an Investigation into his Death and that they have not yet ruled out the possibly of a Hate Crime.
“Incident”.
It looks like he was beaten to death by mob.
Unless you know you actually read the article when it was a one-on-one confrontation, where a Pro-Palestinian person also helped him seek medical attention.
But yes, I guess it was a mob seeking to kill this man.
" Kessler was “struck in the head by a megaphone wielded by a pro-Palestinian protestor.”
A video posted to social media shows him lying on the ground as two people, including a pro-Palestinian demonstrator, try to help."
I’m sure the media will be responsible and not use this incident to support genocide.
What’s funny to me is that it was a pro-Palestine demonstration. He was attacked by a counter-protester. So he was attacked by someone supporting Isreal by that logic.
The mental gymnastics…
One can argue the morality of a governement but a mob who are protesting aganist oppression oppress andd kill one individual… now thats animilistic behaviour in their mentality
Because you demonstrate you can kill anyone that opposes your point of view?
It’s almost like a majority of “pro-Palestine” people are really just anti-Jew…
Fuck off with your bad faith argument.
It’s not bad faith, it’s experience. Most people who attend pro-Palestinian rallies are the “Palestine from river to the sea” type, not the “no settlements in the West Bank let’s work toward a Two-State Solution” type.
That’s an anecdote, you feel they’re “Palestine from river to the sea” but I’m gunna go out on a limb based on your attitude that a. You’ve never been to a protest let alone a Palestine/Israel protest b. Your biased attitude makes you think criticism even valid criticism is anti semitic.
Mentality does not exist, it’s a pseudoscientific term.
It’s in no way intended to be a scientific term. It simply means ‘way of thinking’.
May his memory be a blessing, as they say.
Side question: when did 65 become elderly?
Most developed Western countries set the retirement age around the age of 65; this is also generally considered to mark the transition from middle to old age. Reaching this age is commonly a requirement to become eligible for senior social programs.

Retirement age used to be 55, even.
How odd.
Not really. Life expectancy went up, birthrates went down -> people have to work for longer.
Always?
Average lifespan in the United States is like 77.
I would say once you’re 84% of the way to death you’re elderly.
1935
Absolutely horrifying. Gas over $5!? Yikes
